After the Xuanwumen Rebellion, Li Shimin slaughtered Li and Li Yuanji's family, even babies. When I sleep at night, I often hear bricks and tiles thrown outside the bedroom and ghosts screaming, which makes the harem restless every night. He often has nightmares for a period of time, dreaming that his brother and brother are coming to kill him with monsters. He was too scared to sleep at night, so he asked his two generals, Qin and Weichi Gong, to stand guard in front of the door with weapons and let them sleep peacefully. But after a long time, the two generals couldn't sleep for a long time at night and finally fell ill. Li Shiming had to have his image painted on paper and pasted on the door to deter the monster. This is the origin of hades.

Journey to the west: Jinghe Laolong near Chang 'an made a bet with a fortune teller and broke the dogma. The Jade Emperor sent Wei Zhi to supervise the execution of Lao Long at three noon. The day before, Lao Long asked Tang Taizong to intercede for him, and Tang Taizong readily agreed. The next day, Emperor Taizong announced that Wei Zhi had entered the DPRK and left Wei Zhi to accompany him to play Go. Unexpectedly, at three o'clock at noon, Wei Zhi dozed off and dreamed of beheading the old dragon. Lao Long resented the bad words of Emperor Taizong. So it was haunted, and every day it came to the palace to make trouble, which made the six gods of Emperor Taizong uneasy. Knowing that the emperor was afraid, Wei Zhi sent two generals and Weichi Gong to guard the palace gate. Sure enough, the old dragon dared not make trouble. Emperor Taizong remembered their hard work of guarding the door at night, so he asked the painter to paint their portraits and stick them at the palace gate. The result still worked. As a result, this trick began to spread among the Han people, and Weichi Gong became a keeper.

"The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties" contains: For a time, Li Shimin was in a bad mood. When he sleeps at night, he often hears bricks and tiles thrown outside the bedroom and ghosts screaming, which makes the harem restless every night. He was afraid and told the monarch and his subjects about it. General Qin said: "I have been an officer all my life, killing enemies like melons and collecting corpses like ants." Why are you afraid of ghosts? " I am willing to guard the palace gate with Jingde. "Li Shimin agreed. Nothing happened that night. Since then, I have put two generals on guard every night. Later, Li Shimin suspected that the two men had worked hard, so he ordered the painter to draw the full-length portraits of the two guards hanging at the door, and the evil spirits disappeared from then on. If you are good on earth, you will follow, so the keeper will spread to the Han people. Until now, the images of Qin Qiong and Jingde are still pasted on the door gods by the Han people.
