"Double-faced" mostly refers to people who are duplicitous and good at pretending. So, where did the word "double-faced" come from?

According to legend, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Army and Zhu Yuanzhang's uprising army A tug-of-war started on the north bank of the Yellow River. The people were miserable. Everyone was welcomed when they came, and red and green welcome slogans were posted on the door panels. Those who came often were replaced quickly. People in Huaiqing Mansion in northern Henan lived frugally. So I came up with a way to solve it once and for all. Use a thin wooden board with the words "Protect the territory and secure the people" to welcome the Yuan army on one side, and "Drive out the Tartars and restore China" on the other side.

Once, Zhu Yuanzhang's general Chang Yuchun led the army to Huaiqing Mansion. He was happy to see the colorful wooden signs in front of his house full of welcome slogans. However, a sudden strong wind blew, and the reverse side of the wooden signs were full of slogans welcoming the Yuan army. So , Chang Yuchun ordered that all those who displayed two-faced cards would be executed. After a massacre, the population of Huaiqing Mansion was greatly reduced.

The "double-faced" people often referred to now are due to the "two-faced sect" of Huaiqing Mansion. It evolved from the "two-faced card". Little did we know that there is a history of blood and tears in it.
