The Military Door God Zhao Gong Ming is often depicted riding a tiger, and is one of the Gods of Wealth. Zhao holds an iron whip while the scissors in front of him are another weapon that he uses. The motif of the three unbroken lines on his forehead is an emblem in the Eight Trigrams. It represents ‘yang’ (阳), which means the presence of the sun and light and hence his capability of warding off evil spirits. Prints of Zhao are usually paired with prints depicting Randeng Daoren （燃灯道人）as Military Door Gods. The print was produced in Taohuawu, a village in Suzhou province in China famous for its New Year prints. The production house, Wang Rong Xing （王荣兴）, was established around the 18th century.
