The doorman's birthday is the fifteenth day of the first month. In China, people often worship the door gods during the Spring Festival and stick them at the gate (from the point of view of people who enter the door, they are stuck on both sides of the door, and the door gods in the painting regard their faces as the correct traditional sticking method, otherwise it is the custom of "sticking the wrong door gods" circulated among the people in China).

Some famous traditional woodcuts are also famous for printing doorkeeper prints, such as Yangliuqing, Weifang and Taohuawu. The paintings of door gods are also colorful, some wearing tiger helmets and some wearing robes. The New Year pictures are also decorated with festive patterns such as Jue Lu, Bat Xi, BMW and bottle saddle to pray for good luck.

Literati deities are pasted on the doors of the main hall and the wing, which are generally colorful paintings such as making money into treasure and five sons into reason.
