fun fact:
Hehe Grand Guardian 和合太保 holds a ruyi scepter.

digital description:
Four Field Marshals of the Daoist pantheon dressed in military garb are, from right to left, Tian 田元帥, Peng 彭元帥, Tao Yuanxin 陶元信, and Zhang Xiansheng 張賢聖. Hehe Grand Guardian 和合太保 and Heavenly Lord Xie Shirong 謝仕榮 in the upper row are each more simply dressed in a cap and robe tied at the waist.

wall description:
This extraordinary album has 50 paintings on a variety of religious subjects. They were likely created by several master craftsmen to share with studio apprentices as models for fulfilling commissions. The Jade Emperor and the Daoist pantheon make up the first 26 leaves. The next 14 leaves portray the Buddhist Ten Kings of Hell administering punishments to the dead. The third section, called “Clearing the Mountains,” features divine soldiers, led presumably by the deity Erlang Shen 二郎神, fighting undesirable creatures.
