Left Inviting (Welcoming) Officer (Zuo Ying Jin):
Right Inviting (Welcoming) Officer (You Ying Jin):
These 2 Officers will only be seen during big Celebrations. Usually their paintings will be hung up with San Qing, Master Zhang Daoling, Master Xuan Wu, Dragon King and King of Yama (Hell). Because of the ranking and the duties that they need to perform, their paintings are usually placed at the very outer section.
Their duties are like usherers, they have to usher in Heavenly Guests, recording and to assist in the manners, etc.
Another saying is that, their duties are like Door Officers (Men Guan) in Chinese Histories.
