Common items to ward off evil spirits at home
1, mirroring
Because of its reflection, the mirror is regarded as the exorcism object in geomantic objects by many people. 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
We know why scissors are often used to ward off evil spirits in customs. In fact, Mo Dou, jade, carpenter's five feet and tailor's scissors were often used to ward off evil spirits in ancient times. Later, scissors and kitchen knives used by chefs to kill people 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. This method can often be seen in funeral customs to facilitate the diet there. Later, it began to be said 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 passed from 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 international application, rice is especially useful for people who are prone to ghost dreams and children 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.
1 1, ginger
This is a good thing to keep fit. In ancient times, doctors went in and out of epidemic areas to treat diseases. In the absence of existing mask disinfection equipment, they relied on ginger to resist viruses, which rarely infected them. It was also an excellent drug to suppress viruses. Even Confucius strongly recommended it.
