This print showcases "The spirits of the five planets, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn" as reproduced in the renowned book "Recherche sur les superstitions en Chine" by Father Henri Dore and published in 1911. The color lithograph was created by the Chinese School in the 19th century and is now part of a private collection.

Clad in armor and holding daggers, they exude power and authority over their respective domains. The image offers a glimpse into ancient Chinese astrology and its belief system surrounding the Wu Xing or Five Elements. These elements represent different types of chi dominating at various stages.
