These standards would originally have come in a set of eight. The mixture of Buddhist and Daoist symbols is not uncommon, especially since the standards were made for a family clan temple. Members of the temple would have hoped that their clan receive blessings from both Buddhist and Daoist deities. In grand temples such standards would have flanked the sides of the open courtyard leading up to the main altar, and would have been paraded during processions and festivals.
The inscription indicates that the standards were made in Guangzhou, by a shop called Jucheng Dian on Tianping Street.
