Where is the best place to put door gods at home? Beware of "reverse door gods"

Door gods may be very common in rural areas. They are generally used for praying for blessings. Some people superstitiously believe that they can drive away ghosts and gods, bring good luck and a good harvest for the year! So, where is the best place to put the door god in the home?

Where is the best place to put door gods in the house?

The door god is posted on the outermost door of the house. If there is an entrance garden, it should be posted on the door of the entrance garden. If there is a courtyard, it should be posted outside the courtyard door. Generally speaking, double-opening doors of equal width should have one sticker on each side. If the door is opened on one side or one side is very small, the door god is only pasted on one side of the door, and a certain distance should be left on the left, right and middle. The height of the door god should be based on the height of the male owner of the house, and the position of the door god's eyes should be slightly higher than the top of the male owner's head. If the male owner is as tall as Yao Ming, that's a different matter. Generally speaking, the door god should be placed in the upper third of the vertical axis of the door.

Beware of "anti-sticking door gods"

When pasting door gods, the position of a pair of door god portraits is also very particular. The left and right positions of different types of door god portraits are also different, and cannot be changed at will. For example, the portrait of a military general must have Qin Qiong in the east and Yuchi Gong in the west; the portrait of a blessing person should have wealth and fortune on the left and treasure on the right. If it is pasted in the wrong position, it is called "pasting the door god in reverse."

According to the feudal superstition of the common people, if the left or right positions of the door god images are pasted incorrectly, things will go wrong in the coming year and you will be in a dilemma when encountering problems. Of course, this is just a way of saying it and it is not necessarily true. No one knows what a person's destiny is. It is God's will. It is not that if you stick a door god upside down, nothing bad will happen. This is just the psychological effect of the people. Those who are destined to be rich will not be affected even if they stick it upside down.

The correct way to paste the door god

From the perspective of the person entering the door, the door gods are pasted on both sides of the door. It is the correct traditional way to paste the door gods so that they face each other. Otherwise it is considered as "pasting the door gods wrongly" as circulated among the people.
