Thank you very much, guys!
So, they are called "Heavenly Guardians"? I am asking because I need it for a book, that I translate into English.

Kuan Ti: God of War, God of Chivalry and Prosperity, He is also regarded as the Guardian of the Brave, Loyal and Righteous.
OR
Wei-To P'usa: 'Entry Guardian'. He is the General-in-Chief of the thirty-two heavenly generals who come under the Four Heavenly Kings and has earned such titles as the 'Protector of the Buddhist Faith', the 'Protector of Monasteries' and the 'Protector of Dharma Books'.
