Cut red paper into small strips and stick them on doors, bedside, pigsty and cowshed doors, cars, windmills, etc. to pray for evil spirits and safety.

The exorcism in China's folklore should refer to an act and some forms of etiquette caused by it. In the history of art, we are talking about exorcism in a narrow sense, a physical form endowed by exorcism in a broad sense, or a tool for exorcism.
Therefore, exorcism in a broad sense can be called "exorcism behavior", and the tools to be used in exorcism behavior can be called "exorcism tools", and exorcism art has become the word "exorcism".
