S：Bad news!
M：What's it
S：Henry wanted my photos.
M：Pictures Why
S：He would like to place it on the door for the same use of being door gods to ward off evil. Outrageous!
M：Poor you!
S：Am I looking that bad to scare all the bad spirits
M：Think about it this way. These two door gods are either "martial" or "civil." Before the Tang emperor Tai-zong, they used to be Shen Shu and Yu Lei.
S：Who
M：They used to live in the Eastern Sea, guarding a doorway of a Door of Ghosts.
S：A Door of Ghosts
M：Yes, they would bind those who had done harm and feed them to tigers. So people hung their images on their doors to get rid of evil.
S：But  what  happened  after  the Tang emperor Tai-zong
M：The emperor had fallen ill and heard demons in his bedchamber.
S：He was in great danger then.
M：Yes, his two ministers Qin Shu-bao and Yu-chi Jing-de then volunteered to keep watching at his door.
S：I see. The emperor felt very well.
M：Yes,  and  the  emperor thanked them for his peaceful night's sleep, which continued for some time until his illness diminished.
S：Clearly, the two ministers' images were painted on the door to fool demons after they got back to their normal duties.
M：Now are you still feeling bad
S：No, I am proud of myself for this!

兒子：壞消息。
媽媽：是什麼？
兒子：亨利要我的照片。
媽媽：照片？為什麼？
兒子：他想掛在門上當作門神嚇跑壞東西。太過分了！
媽媽：可憐！
兒子：媽，我有這麼糟，可以嚇鬼？
媽媽：這樣想好了，門神是兩位文武官。唐太宗之前，是神荼跟鬱壘。
兒子：是誰？
媽媽：他們以前住在東海，掌控了鬼門的通道。
兒子：鬼門？
媽媽：他們把惡靈綁起來餵老虎，所以人們將他們的畫像掛在門上，去除鬼怪。
兒子：那唐太宗之後呢？
媽媽：當時唐太宗生重病，還聽到房內有魔鬼的聲音。
兒子：那他一定很危險。
媽媽：是的，他的大臣，秦叔寶和尉遲敬德自願幫他守門。
兒子：我懂了，唐太宗後來就好了。
媽媽：是的，唐太宗非常感謝他們讓他睡了一個好覺，這件事一直持續到他病好。
兒子：當這二位大臣回到工作崗位後，就將他們二位的畫像畫在門上來拐騙鬼怪。
媽媽：現在你還覺得很難過嗎？
兒子：不，我還真自豪呢，可以被當作門神。
