What is Qin in The Journey to the West?

, the word uncle Bao. Weichi Gong, the founding general of the Tang Dynasty and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyange, is a traditional keeper.

Description in The Journey to the West: The old dragon of Jinghe River near Chang 'an bet with the fortune teller that it would rain, and he broke the dogma by changing the rainfall privately. The Jade Emperor sent Wei Zhi to supervise and beheaded the old dragon at 3 noon. Lao Long begged Tang Taizong to intercede for him, and Tang Taizong readily agreed. The next day, I left Wei Zhi to play chess, and Wei Zhi fell asleep while playing chess, dreaming of killing the old dragon. Lao Long often kills Taizong in the middle of the night, which makes him fidgety. So Wei Zhi ordered Qin and Weichi Gong to keep the front door at night, and sure enough, nothing happened at night.

Emperor Taizong noticed their hard work in guarding the door at night and put their portraits on the door of the palace, but nothing happened. As a result, this move began to spread among the people, and Qin and Weichi Gong became door gods.
