Diptych in front of Guan Di: One must have a bit of Loyalty (to serve) to enter this temple.

These tables don't look like mahjong, but like casual meals for a large group. The wok is for burning paper offerings.

The Deity, Guan Di, is reading a Chinese classic, "Spring and Autumn".

Framed ranking system and house rules of the Chinese Freemasons. Very good intentions for a stable society.
