Why is there a giant door god in front of Hilton Singapore?

As one of the four major ethnic groups of Singapore citizens, Chinese account for nearly 75% of Singapore's total population. The ancestors of Chinese Singaporeans originated in southern China, especially in Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan provinces. Chinese who left their hometown in the early days not only added a lot of color to the harmonious multi-racial society in Singapore today, but also brought rich and diverse cultural characteristics, including the "Feng Shui" left by their ancestors.

Chinese in Singapore attach great importance to geomantic omen, the orientation and location of buildings, and all major festivals are based on geomantic omen. The giant door god in front of the Hilton Hotel is used to block evil spirits and gather wealth. The ancients believed that people with strange looks had magical nature and extraordinary skills. Therefore, since ancient times, door gods and beasts have been displayed with fierce eyes and ferocious faces. However, hotels need smiling faces to welcome guests, and it is not appropriate to directly place beasts with claws. Therefore, many hotels skillfully integrate fierce beasts with buildings, which not only achieves aesthetic effects, but also plays the role of avoiding evil spirits, recognizing wealth and attracting wealth.

Common gods and beasts are: bā fù, often carved on the bridge column; The mocking wind is often placed in the corner of the temple; Yazi (yá zì) is often carved on the hilt because he likes killing and blood all his life. 嗯嗯 (b) 嗯): under the ordinary stone tablet; Pepper map: It looks like a snail and is common on the bit ring; Kissing (chρwěn) is common in Miaoling; Bran, his head is often used as a button for a big clock; Sister-in-law (suān ní), the lion under the Buddha statue is its shape; Prison Bull: Because it loves music, it is often used at the upper end of the Hu Qin pole.

Hotels like Hilton Hotel in Singapore, Portugal Hotel in Macau and Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong all have the mystery of "Feng Shui".
