Door peg is a connective component which originally joints the middle sill and lian-ying, the connecting column in Chinese traditional house door. Afterward, it gradually becomes an ornament. Door peg originated in ＂fa-yue＂. There exist various shapes of door pegs, such as roundness, square, hexagon, octagon and multivalve. Generally speaking, there are 2 to 4 pegs in a house door. The description methods include plant engraving, relief engraving and concave engraving. And the ornament can be catalogued into picture style, character style and picture-character style. Although the peg illustrates conciseness in style, it shows us abundant contents. By using metaphor and symbolic approach, it demon- strates people＇s pantheism worship, and reflects people＇s yearn and pursuit for happy life.
