The Five Heavenly Protector Gods & their Horses



The Five Coloured Horses

To the north of the western altar is an altar dedicated to the Protector Gods - “Wu Yin Jiang Jun” (Generals of Five Camps) – military corps of the Taoist Heaven. Apart from an equally elaborate altar with statues, paintings and offerings, one would expect to see paper statues of the horses representing the Marshals of the North, South, East, West and Central, well fed with pots of grass on the ground.
