Fig. 365 Figures of the three deities Fú Lù Shòu for sale in a Chinese New Year night bazaar. Each holds a scroll bearing his name even though they are easily identifiable without these: Fú holds small children in his arms, Lù carries the insignia of official status, while Shòu is noteworthy for his dominant skull. Their positioning is also fixed in the order Fú Lù Shòu.

Fig. 366 Gently tugging his long beard, the Daoist god and folk hero of the period known as the Three Kingdoms, Guāndi, stands ready for any battle. The fierce slant of his eyes is a sign of his bravery. Contemporary wood carving. Courtesy of Kwan Hua Art Gallery, Singapore.
