    then after the San Qing below them should be Yu Huang and 2 Gong Nv. The Scrolls there are ZhangTian Shi and Xuan Tian, and the four persons are the Si Yu. Am I right Shifu. The other deity there are too small too recognize but maybe San Guan?

    1 level lower: Yu Huang (or Si Yu), Nan Bei Dou at the sides
    1 level lower: San Guan Da Di, Xuan Tian & Tian Shi at the sides
    1 level lower: The main Deities that one temple honoured
