Shentu or Shenshu (Chinese: 神荼) and Yulü or Yulei (simplified Chinese: 郁垒; traditional Chinese: 鬱壘) are a pair of deities in Chinese mythology who punished evil spirits by binding them in reed ropes and feeding them to tigers. Their images together with reed rope seasonally adorned the doors or gates to ward off evil, and are considered the earliest examples of Menshen (門神, 'gate deities' or 'door gods') venerated under such practice. Later traditions identified other gods or deified people as gate deities.

  • 神荼（しんじょ / しんと）・鬱塁（うつりつ）は、中国神話の神。行いの悪い鬼（死者の霊）を葦縄で縛り、虎に食わせると伝わる。その絵や名前を門戸に飾る風習があり、門神の最古例とされる。門神は他の神に取って代わられもしたが、神荼・鬱塁を飾る風習が今でも地域に残っている。 後漢時代、紀元1-2世紀の文献に、似通った内容で早期の記述がみられる（『山海経』の引用は疑問視される）。 (ja)

  • Shentu or Shenshu (Chinese: 神荼) and Yulü or Yulei (simplified Chinese: 郁垒; traditional Chinese: 鬱壘) are a pair of deities in Chinese mythology who punished evil spirits by binding them in reed ropes and feeding them to tigers. Their images together with reed rope seasonally adorned the doors or gates to ward off evil, and are considered the earliest examples of Menshen (門神, 'gate deities' or 'door gods') venerated under such practice. Later traditions identified other gods or deified people as gate deities. The description dates to writings from the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, during the Eastern Han dynasty, and the attribution to the Classic of Mountains and Seas dating much earlier appears to be spurious.
