Description of Our Community: Yongjing Township is known for an abundant number of flowers and trees, and traditional temples. Among them, Painted Door Gods are the most fascinating artworks. Temples are the main religious center of Yongjing people. The Door God on the entrance shows the excellent skills of the artists who have designed the beauty of the art for the culture.

Project Description: The painting of Door Gods is the most important and attractive part of all. Splendid color and varied shapes make people fascinated. It is the vital essence which shows craftsmen’s great talent at temples. In addition, Door Gods represent conventional arts of the folklore. However, the construction which made of wood and stone were decayed after years of erosion, not to mention the painting of Door Gods on the wooden panel. Thus we should record the exquisite artworks before they disappeared and cherish the local treasure.
