How to stick to the door in the Spring Festival and how to distinguish between left and right?

Gatekeeper, this is a custom in the Spring Festival, which means that people can protect their homes and seek peace of mind and good luck. However, the goalkeeper is not what we first saw. Now many people have released the goalkeepers, whether Qin or Weichi Gong, two military commanders in history, but the first goalkeepers are two "gods". Unlike Spring Festival couplets, door gods can distinguish upper and lower couplets by sentences. How should the goalkeeper distinguish between right and left? Is there anything particular about sticking the door?

Door-keeper, that is, the guard of Simen, is a painting posted on the door during the Lunar New Year. Peach trees can ward off evil spirits. The ancients knew this. According to "Custom Pass", it was a custom in the Eastern Han Dynasty to decorate the Ren Tao statue on the portal to catch monsters on New Year's Eve. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it became a "peach symbol", depicting the God Man on a mahogany board and hanging on both sides of the house on the first day of the first month of the New Year, with Shen Tu on the left and Lei Yu on the right. God Rabbit and Lei Yu's "Fu Tao" also have a name called "Door God", which is used to ward off evil spirits and protect family peace.

1. Why do you want to be a janitor? The Spring Festival of the lunar calendar is the most important and grand traditional festival. Every family will get together to celebrate. Before the New Year's Eve, everyone will put up couplets and stick up the door gods. Why do you want to stick to the door god?

In fact, the door-sticking god comes from historical legends, which are described in The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties and The Journey to the West. The Dragon King of Jinghe made a bet with a fortune teller in Chang 'an, and as a result, the Dragon King changed the time and place of rain privately, which led the Jade Emperor to ask Wei Zhi to cut off his head, and the Dragon King asked the Tang King for help. As a result, the Dragon King was killed by Wei Zhi. From then on, the Dragon King often settled accounts with the Tang King, which made the Tang King unable to sleep. Later, two military commanders, Qin Qiong (Qin) and Jingde (Weichi Gong), watched the door and slept peacefully. Qin Qiong (Uncle Bao) and Weichi Gong (Jingde), two door gods of military commanders, are the most popular and influential door gods among the people, and they have been flourishing ever since.

In order to drive away disasters, evil spirits and prevent harm, the doorkeeper prayed for a family's longevity, health, safety, practicality and good luck. On the eve of the Spring Festival, every household is busy writing couplets and door gods to pray for the coming year.

2. How to stick to the keeper and choose the keeper? Qin Qiong, Wei Chijingde, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Used to protect the safety of the town house. This is also the most widely used door god. In business, you can play with the five-way god of wealth, lucky boy, Guan Yu, Blessing Heaven Officer and Liu Hai. An official can use Harry, Bao Qingtian, Flo Xi Shou, BMW bottle saddles, etc. In general, you can use fulu star.

Second, stick to the keeper. Spring Festival couplets are usually posted on New Year's Eve, preferably at 6- 12 noon. When all the family members arrive, they will post it. If there is a custom of inviting ancestors home for the New Year, please post it after the ancestor worship. Door gods should appear in pairs, and the portraits of door gods should be face to face, not back to back.

Three respects to the door god. There are different ways to respect the master, some light two lamps in front of the master, some put offerings in front of the door on New Year's Eve, the first day and the fifth day, and then burn incense and paper to worship the master. However, all ways are respect for the gatekeeper. In fact, I don't think it is necessary to be too formal, and I am afraid of the janitor.

3. How to distinguish the gatekeepers around the Spring Festival is a unique custom of the Spring Festival, which means to drive away ghosts and evil spirits to keep peace. There are many kinds of door gods, including Buddhism, Taoism, military commanders and civilian. However, the door gods posted by most families are Qin Qiong and Wei Chijingde.

Qin Qiong and Wei Chijingde were both famous war generals in the early Tang Dynasty. How can they suddenly become the door gods of the town house to report peace? There is also an allusion here. It is said that when Li Shimin became emperor, he often woke up from nightmares, and sleep became a big problem. I don't know if it is the murdered eldest brother Li and the murdered third brother Li Yuanji, or if they have a guilty conscience. In short, Li Shimin is in a trance and listless because he can't sleep well.

Seeing Li Shimin in a daze all day, the minister asked what had happened. Li Shimin said that he had nightmares every day and couldn't sleep well. Hearing this, the minister turned out to be an imp, but no one could run away from the imp in the emperor's dream!

In order to let the emperor sleep peacefully, military commanders Qin Qiong and Wei Chijingde volunteered to stand guard for Li Shimin to exorcise ghosts. That night, two men dressed in armor and armed to the teeth stood in front of Li Shimin's bedroom. Strange to say, I don't know if it's a psychological effect or the domineering of these two people scared the boy away. That night, Li Shimin had a good sleep. Li Shimin hasn't had nightmares since Qin Qiong and Wei Chijingde stood guard.

Li Shimin felt sorry for letting the two generals stand guard for himself all night. So he ordered people to draw portraits of Qin Qiong and Wei Chijingde and put them on the bedroom door. The child has no critical eye, and he mistakenly thinks that Qin Qiong and Wei Chijingde are guarding it. After that, he never harassed Li Shimin again.

When people learned about this incident, they followed suit, and portraits of Qin Qiong and Wei Chijingde were posted on the doors of every household to ward off evil spirits and keep peace. As a result, the custom of sticking to the door has been handed down.

Qin Qiong's contribution is greater than that of Wei Chijingde, and his ranking in Lingyange is also ahead of that of Wei Chijingde. In the Tang Dynasty, the right was the top and the left was the bottom. Therefore, during the Spring Festival, Qin Qiong should be on the right and Wei Chijingde on the left.
