2.贴春联
据说贴春联的习俗，大约始于一千多年前的后蜀时期，这是有史为证的。此外根据《玉烛宝典》，《燕京岁时记》等著作记载，春联的原始形式就是人们所说的“桃符”。

在中国古代神话中，相传有一个鬼域的世界，当中有座山，山上有一棵覆盖三千里的大桃树，树梢上有一只金鸡。每当清晨金鸡长鸣的时候，夜晚出去游荡的鬼魂必赶回鬼域。鬼域的大门坐落在桃树的东北，门边站着两个神人，名叫神荼、郁垒。如果鬼魂在夜间干了伤天害理的事情，神荼、郁垒就会立即发现并将它捉住，用芒苇做的绳子把它捆起来，送去喂虎。因而天下的鬼都畏惧神荼、郁垒。于是民间就用桃木刻成他们的模样，放在自家门口，以避邪防害。后来，人们干脆在桃木板上刻上神荼、郁垒的名字，认为这样做同样可以镇邪去恶。这种桃木板后来就被叫做“桃符”。

到了宋代，人们便开始在桃木板上写对联，一则不失桃木镇邪的意义，二则表达自己美好心愿，三则装饰门户，以求美观。又在象征喜气吉祥的红纸上写对联，新春之际贴在门窗两边，用以表达人们祈求来年福运的美好心愿。
It is said that the custom of paste couplets, some began more than 1,000 years ago Houshu period, it is history as a card. In addition, according to the "candle-Collection," "Yanjing mind at the age of the" writings such as records, the original form of couplets is known as "Zhao Fu."

In the ancient Chinese mythology, there is a Re-cycle Legend has it in the world, there are mountains, hills covered with a large peach trees in 3000, the tree has a golden rooster. Whenever Jinji ringing of the morning, wandering out at night the ghost will return Re-cycle.

Also at the auspicious symbol of festivity couplet in red paper to write, in the spring of the paste on both sides of the doors and windows for people to pray for the coming year, Fu expressed the good wish of transport.

3.门神
为了祈求一家的福寿康宁，一些地方的人们还保留着贴门神的习惯。据说，大门上贴上两位门神，一切妖魔鬼怪都会望而生畏。在民间，门神是正气和武力的象征，古人认为，相貌出奇的人往往具有神奇的禀性和不凡的本领。他们心地正直善良，捉鬼擒魔是他们的天性和责任，人们所仰慕的捉鬼天师钟馗，即是此种奇形怪相。所以民间的门神永远都怒目圆睁，相貌狰狞，手里拿着各种传统的武器，随时准备同敢于上门来的鬼魅战斗。由于我国民居的大门，通常都是两扇对开，所以门神总是成双成对。
In order to pray for the longevity of a Corning, a number of local people retained the habit of stickers door god.

Civil, door god is upright and force a symbol of the ancients that looks surprisingly often a magical character and extraordinary ability.

So people are always Numuyuanzheng door god, looks ferocious, holding various traditional weapons to be ready to dare to come in with the ghosts fighting. Since China's residential doors, which are two off, door god always in pairs.

4.唐朝以后，除了以往的神荼、郁垒二将以外，人们又把秦叔宝和尉迟恭两位唐代武将当作门神。相传，唐太宗生病，听见门外鬼魅呼号，彻夜不得安宁。于是他让这两位将军手持武器立于门旁镇守，第二天夜里就再也没有鬼魅骚扰了。其后，唐太宗让人把这两位将军的形象画下来贴在门上，这一习俗开始在民间广为流传。
After the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the past God荼, Yu will be outside the barrier, and people again Qinshubao Weichigong two Tang Dynasty generals as door god. Legend has it, Taizong illness, heard the call sign outside the ghosts, through the night no peace. So he let the two generals carrying weapons remain guarding the main entrance, the next day no ghosts on the night of the harassment. Subsequently, the two generals Taizong people the image of this painting down affixed to the doors, the practice began in the civil widely circulated.
