How many kinds of door gods are there? What are they?

Door gods originated from the worship of common things in ancient times. The emperor of Yin Dynasty offered five products, and the door was one of them. The Zhou Dynasty paid five sacrifices to the palace "gate", the place that must pass through every day, which naturally attracted attention. Sacrifice made the gate god 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.

The doorman is said to be a magic tea that can catch ghosts.

There were three door gods in the Han Dynasty, one was Cheng qin, and the other two were shentu and Lei Yu. When I arrived in Emperor Taizong, painters were ordered to paint two images of Qin and Weichi Gong around the palace. They have always been door gods, and the people used them to suppress evil spirits. See "Talking about Introducing Customs". After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the folk door gods changed more and more. Among them, Qin's, Weichi Gong, Wen Chuan, Yue Fei, Zhao Yun, Sun Bi, Pang Juan and other ancient loyal ministers are among them. Military commanders have made outstanding achievements, and they are more able to exorcise ghosts, unable to cross barriers, and their families are safer. There are Tiangong (XiShen) and Liu Hai (Little God of Wealth).

The Book of the Yellow Emperor quoted in Ying Shao's Custom Pass in the Eastern Han Dynasty said: In ancient times, two brothers Nash and Lei Yu lived on Dushuo Mountain. There is a peach tree on the mountain, and the shade is like a cover. Every morning, they will review the ghosts under the tree. If an evil spirit harms the world, tie it up and feed it to the tiger. Later, people used two pieces of red wooden boards to draw pictures of God Tea and Lei Yu, and hung them on both sides of the door to ward off evil spirits. In the Chronicle of Jingchu Age written by Liang in the Southern Dynasties, it is recorded that on the first day of the first month, "making a peach board to touch a household is called fairy wood, painting two gods to stick to a household, and the left god naphthalene and the right dragon are called door gods." However, the door god recorded in real history books is not a dragon, but an ancient warrior named Cheng qin. According to the biography of Han Guang written by Ban Gu, the portrait of Cheng qin, an ancient warrior, was painted on the gate of King Guang Chuan (Quping), wearing shorts and holding a sword. In the Tang dynasty, the position of the door god was replaced by Qin's harmony.

The Journey to the West's account is even more detailed: The King of Jinghe committed a crime in order to bet with a Mr. Corn and should be punished. The Jade Emperor appointed Wei Zhi as the supervisor. King Jinghe begged Emperor Taizong to spare his life. Emperor Taizong agreed, and when it was time to kill the dragon, he summoned Wei Zhi to play chess with him. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhi went down and punched a chest, and his soul ascended to heaven and beheaded the Dragon King. The Dragon King complained that Taizong had broken his word and cried outside the palace day and night for his life. Emperor Taizong told his ministers that General Qin Baoshu said, "I would like to stand outside with Wei Chijingde in uniform." . Emperor Taizong agreed. There was really nothing that night. Emperor Taizong couldn't bear the hardships of the two generals, and ordered Dan Qing, a highly skilled painter, to draw the true faces of the two generals and stick them on the door. Later generations followed suit, so the two generals became gatekeepers of thousands of families. On the two gates of some old-fashioned gatehouses in Chaoshan today, we can also see Shencha, Lei Yu or two fierce generals. Their images seem to be the same, but after careful observation, one of them holds Strafe and the other holds an iron mace. Wei Chijingde is the whip bearer, and Qin Qiong is the scepter bearer.

How did Emperor Taizong make Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong the door gods?

There are many door gods in houses all over the country, especially Beijing, which is the first good cultural area. Door-keeper is one of the most popular gods in China and Beijing. Its long history, wide spread and variety are the most prominent among folk gods. Only the book of door gods standing proudly on the doors of thousands of households in Beijing in the old days was recorded in the back.

1. Ghostbusters 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.

Second, the door god for praying is not the protector of the portal, but is used for praying. The central figure is Fu Tianguan. There are also bangs, golden toad, lucky boy and little god of wealth. Most of the families of worshippers and posters are business people, hoping for fame and fortune, deer and bats being happy, and BMW bottles and saddles praying from the door gods, all of which are different in order to welcome auspicious events.

Third, the Taoist door gods were not posted in Beijing folk houses, but found in the Jingdao Temple. There are two gods in the gate. On the left is Qinglong Alina Zhang Shen Jun, and on the right is White Tiger prisoner Shen Jun.

Fourth, the military commander's door god, the military commander's door god is generally posted on the door facing the street. In order to prevent demons or disasters from entering the gate, the door gods provided are mostly armed. Such as: sword, spear, halberd, axe, fork, whip, hammer, hammer, claw, kidnapper, meteor, etc. The door gods of military commanders at the entrance of Beijing residents' courtyard are mostly Tang Dynasty famous Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong. Also known as Qin, a native of Licheng, Shandong Province, has strong martial arts. He is known as: Sai Zhuan Xu, like Meng Changjun, Shenquan Taibao, General with Double Hammer, hammering the Sixth Hospital of Shandong and galloping across the Yellow River. 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. After Qin and Wei Chi helped to establish the Tang Dynasty, why did they still serve as folk door gods when they were named the founding fathers?

A Complete Collection of the Three Religions Seeking Gods: In his early years, Emperor Taizong sent crocks to sweep Dou Jiande, Du and other insurgents, during which he killed countless people. Upon arrival, he was in poor health, fidgeting at night and having nightmares. He often worships ghosts, throwing bricks and tiles inside and outside the bedroom hall, and ghosts call, which makes the front and back halls, the thirty-six palaces and the seventy-two courtyards restless at night. Li Shimin was afraid and told his minister, but he didn't know anything inside or outside the palace. Only Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin were afraid day and night. After more than a month, Emperor Taizong finally couldn't stand the torture of evil spirits and called the ministers to discuss. It is suggested that Marshal Qin Qiong and General Weichi Gong should put on armor on both sides of the palace gate every night to guard the palace gate. Sure enough, there was no movement that night, and Taizong and the civil and military officials of the court cheered in unison. But over time, Emperor Taizong missed Weichi Gong, two generals, who worked hard day and night, so he asked the palace painter to draw a statue of the two generals, glared at him, and held whips and pins in his hands, hanging on both sides of the palace gate. Since then, evil worship has completely disappeared. Later generations followed this rule, so they named the two generals as gatekeepers forever, making them the most popular, influential, prestigious, popular and loved by the rich and the poor for a long time.

Idols of Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong have the most styles in Beijing residence, sitting, standing, wearing robes, piercing armor, stepping, riding, dancing with single whip and double mace, holding golden claws, but never like holding bows and arrows. Only Wang Bodang, the descendant of Xie He, a friend of the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, can hold bows and arrows. At the end of the Zong Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the hero Xiaohe Sai Guo Sheng appeared again.

Because the door couplets and the door gods are posted on the left and right sides of the door, a pair of couplets is added around the door gods of Weichi Gong: "Once a founding general, now a town house god" to celebrate the founding fathers of the Tang Dynasty and the door gods that people like to worship.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China, the door gods of military commanders all over the country were different, and they were different from those of Beijing. For example, the door gods worshipped by Henan people are Zhao Yun and Ma Chao of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. Hebei people worship Ma Chao and Ma Dai, while northwest Hebei worships Xue and Gaisu. Shaanxi people worship Sun Bin and Pang Juan, Taihe Yang. And stationed in Hanzhong area are mostly two idiots, Meng Liang and Jiao Zan.

Besides Qin Qiong and Weichi Gong, there are also Jie Zhen, Anta, Lv Fang and Guo Sheng in Water Margin. Because the quadrangles in Beijing are very big, the area often extends to the hutongs behind. Therefore, in Beijing's houses, there is also a kind of gatekeeper who sticks to the back door. There is only one keeper at the back door of Beijing residential building. Why? Because the back door is usually a single door. Who are you posting to? Most of them were Zhong Kui, the ghost catcher, and Wei Zhi, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. As we all know, Zhong Kui catches ghosts and gods, and it is also recorded in writing that Kevin·Z became the back door guard. In the novel The Journey to the West, it is said that after Wei Zhi, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, beheaded the old dragon king in Jinghe, the ghost of the old dragon king felt very wronged and went into the inner palace every night to beg for the life of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin. Said outside the palace gate, Weichi Gong led the soldiers to guard. The ghost of the old dragon king dared not walk under Shuang Bian's double mace. He turned to the back door of the palace and smashed bricks and tiles. As Weichi Gong and I were already at the front door, the Prime Minister had to personally hold the Dragon Sword to kill the door at night. Over time, the ghost of the old dragon king gradually declined, and Wei Zhi's dragon sword was no longer held high and stood aside. Wei Zhi is a literary official in The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties. He was the first Taoist in Sanqing Temple in Erxian Village, Lucheng County, and was later regarded as a door god by the people. After that, his image was full of heroism.

Because Beijing is an ancient city, it is the political, cultural and commercial center of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Scholars, businessmen, bureaucrats and tourists from all over the country have come to Beijing, and the door gods in their hometown have followed suit to protect their peace. So there are all kinds of door gods on the doors of houses in Beijing. Such as: Zhao Gongming, Yao Qi and Ma Wu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, heroes who resisted gold. The loveliest thing is that the door gods worshipped in Miyun area in the north of Beijing are actually husband and wife-Yang Zongbao and Mu. In short, the door gods posted in Beijing residential buildings are mostly taken from the heroes in China's classic works. These heroes, who are superb in martial arts, charitable and loyal to the country, are well known to women and children, have a wide influence and are deeply worshipped by the people.
