Many houses in Beijing are not posted, but they are found in the Taoist temple in Beijing. There are two gods in the gate. On the left is Alina Zhang, the god of Qinglong, and on the right is the king of white tiger.

Three military commanders

The door gods of military commanders are usually posted on the gates facing the street. In order to prevent demons or disasters from entering the door, the door gods provided are mostly armed. Such as: sword, spear, halberd, axe, fork, whip, hammer, hammer, claw, kidnapper, meteor, etc. Ma Wu, commander of Yuntai in the Han Dynasty, had strong martial arts.

Weichi Gong, a general of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, was skilled in martial arts. He occupied three cities during the day and eight villages at night, which made him a duke of Hubei.

4 civilian class

In the past, China did not have many civil servants as door gods, the most famous of which were Bao Gong and Wen Tianxiang.

Bao Gong, namely Bao Zheng, was born in Luzhou, Northern Song Dynasty. Song Renzong was an imperial adviser at that time, and later he was a bachelor in Longtuge and a magistrate in Kaifeng. He is honest, strict in law enforcement, not afraid of powerful people, and deeply admired by the people. Bao Gong has a far-reaching influence among the people. He upheld justice, cracked down on bullies, rehabilitated evildoers and fostered the weak, which is the ideal embodiment of the common people's protection of God. Although Bao Gong is a civil servant, he is not a gigolo. On the stage, and in many literary works about him, he is presented to everyone with a big black face of integrity, which makes him look particularly dignified. Therefore, using Bao Gong as a door god can exorcise evil spirits. Those evil spirits must be obedient.

Wen Tianxiang, a native of Ji 'an, Jiangxi Province, was originally named Song Duan, whose name was Wenshan. Song Lizong has been a scholar for four years. After being sentenced in Hunan, he served as the right prime minister, Zhizhou. He fought bravely against the invaders, but unfortunately he was captured and sacrificed heroically. Wen Tianxiang left many generous and tragic poems to later generations. His heroic spirit of seeing the enemy as the enemy, fighting to the end, perseverance and fearlessness is very suitable for being a goalkeeper for the country and the people.

Gatekeepers can be divided into gatekeepers and gatekeepers. The gatekeeper is usually posted on the gate, with Qin Qiong in the east and Weichi Gong in the west. 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. When sticking to the door, who is on the left and who is on the right is fixed and cannot be changed at will. If you post it incorrectly, it is called "anti-posting god". There is a saying in Surabaya: "It is difficult to resist sticking to the door." According to the folk saying, if you put the goalkeeper in the wrong position and everything goes wrong after one year, you will always feel in a dilemma.

5. Catch ghosts

The door gods are mostly Shen Tu and Lei Yu, Golden Rooster and Tiger. Legend has it that there is a big peach tree in Taoyudu Mountain, which bends three thousand miles. There is a golden rooster at the top, and Er Shen at the bottom, with jade on one side and thunder on the other, holding a reed rope to guard the ominous ghost bird. This is Jiang Dan, the golden rooster in Rizhao. The rooster crows loudly. So all the chickens in the world heard it, and the golden rooster flew down and ate all the evil spirits. Ghosts were afraid of the golden rooster, and they all left, and the world was safe. What's more, after catching the ghost, Lei Yu tied a reed rope and held a tiger. In the old days, after the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, Beijingers put up door gods, decorated peaches, hung reeds and painted tigers on the doors, and put two lights on the left and right of the doors to symbolize the tiger's eyes, so as to drive away ominous, evil and ghosts.
