在家门上贴“门神”，是一种历史悠久的习俗。
传说这两位威严的神仙能够降妖伏魔，
保护一家人在新年里平平安安，
因为中国传统的门，大多是两扇对开的，
所以门神也总是成双成对。
也有人家会在门上贴上代表幸福安康的“福” 字。
为全家祝福美好的一年。

Zài jiāmén shàng tiē “ménshén”, shì yī zhǒng lìshǐ yōujiǔ de xísú.
Chuánshuō zhè liǎng wèi wēiyán de shénxiān nénggòu xiángyāo fú mó,
bǎohù yījiā rén zài xīnnián lǐ píngpíng ān'ān,
yīn wéi zhōngguó chuántǒng de mén, dàduō shì liǎng shàn duì kāi de,
suǒyǐ ménshén yě zǒng shì chéng shuāng chéng duì.
Yěyǒu rénjiā huì zài mén shàng tiē shàng dàibiǎo xìngfú ānkāng de “fú” zì.
Wèi quánjiā zhùfú měihǎo de yī nián.

Another tradition is to paste Gate God on the doors. 
The story is that these two dignified deities can defeat the evil spirits 
and ensure the family's safety in the coming year. 
Because the traditional Chinese gate opens up on both sides, 
the gate gods come in pairs. 
Some families will also paste the word “Auspiciousness” on their doors
 in the hopes it will bring peace and good health for the family in the coming year.
