This is a family ancestral table screen. According to the inscription on the central panel (Pic.2-3)
it belonged to a certain Liu family. (Names on the left side) On the right side there are the names of the six Taoist officials who govern the earth and waters. A ritual is performed on the 15th day of the first lunar month for the earth officials, and an another on the 15th day of the 10th lunar month.

Here is the rough translation of the inscription on the panels (Closed position, Pic.1)

謨烈遣遺恩澤大
香蘋藻時蔦水泉

Since the beginning of the role of rules the favors given by the emperor
is like water and spring that nourish the fragrant mistletoe

With regards,
I.Nagy
