How to paste the door god of the building?

Align the left and right sides in duplicate and separate the left and right sides.

For example, our common gatekeepers are two generals, Qin and Weichi Gong. When posting, Qin must stick the one holding the golden mace on the left and the one holding the golden whip on the right. One is on the left, the other is on the right, face to face, indicating unity and unity and guarding the home. Sticking the wrong keeper is to switch the left and right sides, and the two keepers are facing away from each other, indicating that the two people disagree and do not cooperate.

The gatekeeper is about four or five feet tall and two or three feet wide. Stick it in the center of the door, flush with the middle of the couplet. The doorman is about two feet tall and one foot wide. We should also pay attention to echo the couplets around us. Two door gods are two gods, one with a black face and one with a white face. White left black right, white easy, black evil, each holding a slap in the face.

Door gods are a kind of paintings posted on doors during the Lunar New Year. This is a custom handed down from the Han culture era. It is said that at the end of each year, the old gatekeeper will be torn off and replaced with a new one, so that the bad luck left over from this year can be driven away. The new door god stands in the portal, which can exorcise evil spirits and avoid ghosts, and the town house can receive blessings. This statement is also more in line with the people's hearts and expresses people's expectations for a better life. In fact, for the keeper, there are also taboos, where to stick it and how high to stick it.
