Peach wood is also called "fairy wood", "dragon wood" and "ghost wood". According to legend, the Jade Emperor named Tea and Lei Yu as gods to manage monsters. The management yamen is located in Dongshao Mountain, an isolated island in the East China Sea. There is a big peach tree on Dongshao Mountain. During the day, the two brothers gathered the demons under the big peach trees on the island to settle down, and at night they let them out for food. For the devil who doesn't listen to discipline, the two brothers will break a peach branch and beat him. Demons are not only afraid of the two brothers, but also afraid of peach branches, so there is a saying that peach trees ward off evil spirits. The Antarctic fairy Weng, who dominates human life, always holds a huge peach in her hand, so peaches are also said to ward off evil spirits and prolong life. Chinese medicine also believes that peach wood is warm, which has the functions of calming the heart and eliminating evil, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, strengthening the brain and calming the nerves, and promoting human metabolism.
Peach wood is dense, delicate and fragrant. Because it is a sacred object to ward off evil spirits and won the favor of literati, it is often carved into a sword, worn on the body or hung indoors to show its elegance. Peach wood carving occupies an extremely important position in China folk art, and at the same time, because its handicrafts have the effects of exorcising evil spirits, praying for blessings and prolonging life, it is indeed a rare auspicious item for people.
Peach is said to be transformed from Kuafu's walking stick, which is a symbol of light and the main fire in the five elements. At the same time, wood can make a fire, which can inspire people to be at their best in the fire of life. Therefore, hanging mahogany ornaments at home can play a role in praying for the town house and helping to report peace.
Another feature of mahogany is that it is more convenient to feed, because it is a spiritual thing in itself, and it represents the meaning of heaven and earth. It will only bless you, will not attract evil spirits, better than crystal. At the same time, there is no need to worship peach trees like worshipping gods and Buddha statues, which will be very convenient for young people.
Therefore, peach wood has the function of aesthetic decoration, and is also beneficial to houses, traffic and safety.
