Door-keeper-a painting posted on the door during the New Year in old China. Door-keeper is a Taoist and folk gatekeeper. In the past, people put their idols on doors to ward off evil spirits, defend their homes, maintain peace, help practicality and bring good luck. It is one of the most popular folk protectors. Taoism inherited this belief, and brought the door gods into the system of gods and worshipped them. At the beginning of the new year, the first thing is to paste the door gods and couplets. On New Year's Eve (or 29th), every household goes to the streets to buy Spring Festival couplets, and those who are interested also spread paper and splash ink in the spring to decorate the portal. The door god comes from Beijing Dakang Taomu handicraft-Taomu relief door god-Tan Yalei Yu door god is a door god worshipped by Taoism following folk customs. Folk belief in door gods has a long history. The Book of Rites Sacrifice Law stipulates that wang xing is the seven sacrifices, the princes are the five national sacrifices, the doctors are the three sacrifices, and the suitable scholars are the two sacrifices, all of which have "doors", "ordinary scholars are the one sacrifice, or they set up households or stoves." Visible, since the pre-Qin, from the emperor to Shu Ren, door gods have been worshipped. 1, the door god belief has a long history. According to Shan Hai Jing, there is a mountain in the vast sea. There is a big peach tree on the mountain, with branches winding for three thousand miles. There is a ghost gate in the northeast of Taozhi. There are two gods on the door, one is Shen Tu and the other is Lei Yu. They guard the ghost gate and watch the ghosts that harm people. So the Yellow Emperor paid tribute to them. /kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, he offered sacrifices, painted portraits of Shen Tu, Lei Yu and the tiger on the door, and hung a reed rope. If there is an evil spirit in Er Shen, it will be caught and fed to tigers. Later, the belief that Shen Tu, Lei Yu, Huweisuo and Taomu were ghosts and gods in Shan Hai Jing was handed down by people. For example, the lost article of Jin Gan Bao Sou Shen Ji said: "Today's custom is that on New Year's Eve, people decorate peaches, hang Wei locks, draw tigers on the doors, and put two lights on the left and right, like tigers sleeping, to drive away ominous." Among them, peach is also a plant that people worship for a long time. People think that peach is a symbol of longevity, so it can eliminate disasters, avoid evil spirits and drive away ghosts. "Dian Yi" said: "Peach is also the essence of five trees, so it also inhibits evil spirits. The essence of peach is born in the gate of hell, making hundreds of ghosts. Therefore, today's Taoren stalks the door to suppress evil, and this fairy wood is also. " The tiger, the king of beasts, can "knock down the ghost eater" and "draw a tiger at the door, but ghosts dare not enter" This belief has been passed down to this day. On New Year's Eve, people often put pictures of Er Shen and the tiger on their doors, and hang peach branches or peach people and reed ropes to ward off evil spirits. Slightly different from the past, there are Zhong Kui in the Tang Dynasty, Weichi Gong after the Yuan Dynasty, and Marshal Wen worshipped by Suzhou people in the old days (or Wenqiao in the Jin Dynasty, or General Wen under Emperor Dongyue). Taoism believes in Dragon and White Tiger, and some regions believe in Zhao Yun, Zhao Gongming, Sun Bin and Pang Juan. In other places, door gods are divided into three categories, namely, learning door gods, martial arts door gods and praying door gods. The door gods painted some civil servants in royal robes, such as Tianguan, Xiantong, Liu Haichan and Songzi Empress. The goalkeeper is the image of an officer, such as Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong. Praying for the goalkeeper is the three stars of blessing, wealth and longevity. Although these door gods appeared in different times and geographical backgrounds, they are still widely circulated, among which, Zhong Kui, Weichi Gong have the deepest influence. It originated from the worship of ordinary things in ancient times. The emperor of Yin Dynasty offered five products, and the door was one of them. In the Zhou Dynasty, five sacrifices were held at the "gate" of the palace, which was the only place to pass every day, which naturally attracted attention, and the sacrifices made the door gods visual and personalized. According to legend, he is a god, under the orders of the Yellow Emperor, in charge of people and ghosts. Therefore, on the night of December 30th of the lunar calendar, two gods carved peaches on both sides of the gate to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. Draw two statues on the door. Be door gods one by one. There are five sacrifices (also called seven sacrifices) in ancient sacrificial ceremonies, all of which are small gods. Its origin is primitive nature worship. Primitive worship holds that everything related to people's daily life has a god. The offerings of the five sacrifices are all useful things for people to live, go in and out, and eat, so the sacrifices are paid for chaos. This is the earliest source of the concept of door gods. Some people say that the gatekeeper is the God of Yin Qi, or that he is too young to be an inspector in the world, so as to condemn him. This is after the gatekeeper's function is socialized. This concept was popular in the Han and Jin Dynasties. Records in ancient books, such as Jade Candle Collection and Jingchu Hair Chronology, are still the legacy of this belief. In the future, the Five Sacrifices are only a part of the national ceremony, and the door gods and kitchen gods of folk beliefs are out of touch with their original forms. Another function of ancient door gods is to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits and maintain national peace. This door god is said to have originated from the titles of Shen Tu and Lei Yu. There are all kinds of sayings, but we still call them Shen Tu and Lei Yu. They were originally mythical figures, which were quite popular among the people in the Han Dynasty, and they were thought to have the magical power to grasp bravery. Because it is usually under peach trees, on New Year's Eve, people will hang people, reed ropes (Er Shen tied them with ghosts), and draw the images of Er Shen and tiger (Er Shen eats tigers with ghosts) on the door to ward off evil spirits. With the development of society and the change of ideology, people's requirements for door gods are not only to ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters, but also to get fame and fortune from them. At the latest in the Ming Dynasty, the statue of Samurai Gate was often painted with "Jue, deer, bat, hi, treasure, horse, bottle and saddle, all of which have good names to welcome auspicious addresses". Later, the obligation of exorcism was abolished, and the door god was dedicated to blessing. Thus, the folk customs of heavenly officials, champions, lucky stars and the god of wealth were formed.
