Soon, the Chinese or Taoists will be doing the Spring Cleaning for the Altars at home, Temples, etc. After Cleaning, changing of the Robes for the Deities (statues) will be done.

Due to the lack of the information and knowledge of the different ranking and position of Deities, a lot of the people might not be able to get the correct/accurate color Robes for their Deities.

In here, I will do a quick intro and brief suggestion for all the Chinese or Taoists according to the ranking & position of the Deities:

1 Jade Emperor of Heaven (玉皇大天尊) – Yellow or Purple (with Dragons)

2 Mother Queen of the West (王母娘娘) – Yellow or Purple (with Dragons or Phoenixes)

3 Dukes aka Wang Ye (王爺與千歲 Ancestorial Deities) – Orange (with any normal printings)

4 Guan Gong (關公) – Orange, Red or Green (with Dragons)
