1, mirror image.
Because of its reflective function, mirrors are regarded by many people as evil spirits in feng shui items. The use method is to hang it on the lintel or window frame to deal with the evil in front of the door. Because of this, I especially avoid looking in the mirror when I sleep.
2, scissors.
Chen Peng understands why scissors are often used to ward off evil spirits in customs. In fact, the ancient carpenter's Mo Dou, five feet and the tailor's scissors are all commonly used to ward off evil spirits. Later, scissors and kitchen knives used by chefs to kill things were also used to ward off evil spirits because they were covered with blood. Often used to deal with nightmares and exorcise ghosts.
3. rice.
In fact, the saying that rice exorcises evil spirits comes from the technology of exorcising evil spirits from grains. In fact, this method can often be seen in funeral customs. At first, it brought some food to the dead so that there was food there. Later, it began to say that whole grains can kill ghosts and ward off evil spirits (because it is said that dead people will not come out to make trouble because there are coffins of whole grains), especially glutinous rice, which was spread by zombie movies in Hong Kong. Up to now, in Hakka customs in western Fujian, there is still the habit of wrapping rice, soybeans/black beans, tea, salt and copper coins in red cloth as amulets. In the practical application of Chen Peng's dream interpretation, rice is especially useful for people and children who are prone to having ghost dreams to soothe their nerves.
4. Red paper.
Red paper used to be mainly used to write Spring Festival couplets, and a small note was put on someone else's gift package as a seal. In fact, the idea of sealing and putting red paper on the door (although written on it) are used to pray for evil spirits. In the folk, you can often see red paper cut into small strips and pasted on doors, bedside, pigsty and cowshed doors, cars, windmills, etc. to pray for evil spirits and safety. The original source is that red paper represents blood sacrifice, that is, the blood of livestock and even enemies is smeared at important positions to deter the enemy's evil spirits, and later it evolved into red paper.
5. broom.
Because brooms are used to clean up rubbish and dirty things, it is one of the most unlucky things to be hit by brooms in customs. If a person dies, people will send away (burn) the broom in his room together. Broom generally leans against the bed to ward off evil spirits and protect people with low flame from sleeping. Or flogging suspected evil objects. Reminder: Bamboo broom is the best, and plastic broom is the worst. The mop doesn't work.
