You see six figures in long robes, each holding a plaque with Chinese writing. They float against a plain background, lined up like a parade. These aren’t just any figures—they’re Daoist deities, each tied to a month of the year. The first six months are here; the next six appear on another page. The names on their plaques tell you exactly who they are. If you want to see more like this, look up *subject: china, southern song dynasty (1127-1279)*.
