WU YING SHENG JIANG meaning the Five Directional Camp Generals or Marshals.Usually this group of Marshals will only appeared in Folks Culture Contexts or Folks Deities (民間信仰/民間神明文化), whereas in Main-Stream Taoism (正統道教), we have other groups of Marshals or Generals who are as the Protectors for an Area or Ritual/Ceremony areas.So who are they (五營為何人)? For Five Directional Camp Generals or Marshals, there are a few groups being recorded, here's some brief introduction on them:
