Warning Signs

In ancient China, they had not a concept of civil servant. The social status of government officials was much higher than normal citizens.
These two signs were carried by the guards of the out-going team of government official. The guards always walked in front of the team.
The purpose was to remind citizens to keep quiet and give way to the out-going team of lords or government officials.
