The original gatekeepers were Shen Tu, Lei Yu and other pre-Qin gatekeepers.

The new door gods in the later period mainly include "Fu", "Tao", "civilian", "military commander" and "other miscellaneous".

Blessing includes blessing heavenly officials, Taoist circles such as Zhong Kui and Wang Lingguan, civil servants such as Wei Zhi, Bao Gong and Wen Tianxiang, and military commanders such as Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong.

Since ancient times, people in China have had the custom of sticking a door god on their doors during the Spring Festival. Door-keeper, originally meant as "Simen", originated from the worship of nature in ancient times. At that time, people thought that everything related to daily life, such as doors, stoves and beds, had gods.

In the eyes of the ancients, the entrance and exit of the door owner occupied an important position in the whole house. Therefore, in ancient times, the door was the first of the five sacrifices (door, door, walking in the middle, stove, walking), and later evolved into a door god.

In some places, door gods are divided into three categories, namely, literati door gods, martial arts door gods and praying door gods.

The literati painted some civil servants in imperial robes, such as Tianguan, Xian Tong, Liu Haichan and Empress Matsuko.

The door gods in Wushu are the images of military commanders, such as Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong. The door gods of military commanders are usually posted on the gates facing the street. In order to prevent evil spirits or disasters from entering the gate, they provide door gods with weapons, such as swords, spears, axes, hooks, whips, mallets, hammers, claws, claws, abductors, meteors and so on.

Most people are the gateway to ordinary life, and the weapons held by the gatekeeper should be turned back to reduce the sharpness. The life of wealth is the gateway, and the weapons held by the gatekeeper add dignity.

The God of Famen is the three stars of happiness, wealth and longevity. Although these door gods appeared in different time and geographical background, they are still widely believed.
