The legends of Door Gods
Door Gods originated in the eastern Han
Dynasty (25-220), where they were engraved on peachwood and hung
at doors of homes. Then in Song Dynasty (960-1279), they were
drawn on red paper and later machine printed.
According to "Classic of Mountains and Sea",
evil spirits passed between the spirit world and earth on Dusu
Mountain. Fearing for the safety of humans, the Jade Emperor assigned
Shen Tu and Yu Lei to guard the gate. If the spirits create troubles,
they will be captured by them and fed to tigers at the foot of
Dusu Mountain. Later, humans engraved their images onto peachwood
and hung them on doors for protection.
Another legend said Emperor Tai Zong of Tang Dynasty (618-907)
was disturbed by ghosts while he was asleep. Two generals who
could succumb to nocturnal duties were then summoned to guard
the door of the emperor's bedroom. They were Qin Qiong and Yu
Chi Gong who were not afraid of ghosts Their presence solved the
emperor's sleeping problems. The portrait of the officials were
then drawn and displayed at door of the emperor's bedroom and
palace gates. No further commotion was heard from the spirits
since then. These two brave generals were venerated as door gods
and soon many homes display their images.
The Peninsula Hotel
|
For those who had stayed in the Peninsula Hotel at Kowloon, Hong
Kong, you will noticed there are immaculate portraits of door
gods guarding thie hotel. Hanging outside The Peninsula’s front
entrance between two sheets of plate glass are two enormous gilded
"Door Gods" who perform the same task and protect all those who
sleep in the house from footloose evil spirits. British artist
David Gillespie created both The Peninsula’s original Door Gods
in 1965 and the new versions installed during the hotel’s renovation
in 1994. Affectionately known as “Huffer and Puffer”, the modern
gods are made from bronze-woven mesh with an applique of copper
and bronze foil, which was then gilded with gold leaf and painted.
It took six weeks to make the new Door Gods, and there are, in
fact, four of them - two on each side of the glass.
The door gods usually come in pairs, facing each other.
