'Stove God and Wife'
Yangjiabu, Shandong
27 x 43 cm
modern reprint of early 20th century image

This picture is more sparsely populated than others, but it seems to contain a special message. What seems to be going on in the lower part of the picture? Could this Stove God have been designed for anyone in particular?

Clue: the large Chinese character means 'double happiness'.
