Many people want to make their lives better, so they will choose some symbolic items that can bring good luck to everyone.
For example, during the Dragon Boat Festival, wormwood will be hung on the door to eliminate symptoms, evil and bring good luck to the family.
In very traditional proverbs, it is often heard that there are three kinds of domestic animals that can exorcise evil spirits, but what are these three animals?
First of all, dogs
The dog itself is a very loyal animal, and its intelligence is also very high. It can understand all kinds of languages spoken and actions expressed by people, and many dogs will do amazing things after training.
From the perspective of geomantic omen, many geomantic gentlemen think that dogs can judge geomantic omen problems in a certain area.
Since ancient times, many people in China have been superstitious. They all think that dogs can recognize aura. If the dog is alive and kicking in a certain area, it means that the gas field in this area is very strong.
Moreover, many people think that dogs can see the existence of ghosts, and dogs will not be affected by ghosts and various evil spirits, so in many rural areas, dogs can play the role of exorcism.
It is very common to have a dog now. Many people keep dogs just because they think dogs are docile and loyal, and they just like dogs.
In fact, no matter whether dogs can really ward off evil spirits, many people will choose to keep dogs, because the process of keeping dogs will bring you a lot of joy and companionship, and it can also play a role in guarding their homes.
Second, Goose.
In rural areas, almost every household will keep some livestock.
In ancient times, because life at home was difficult, when raising livestock, animals that were more convenient to raise were chosen, such as big white geese.
The Great White Goose is a herbivore, and it can feed only by mowing the grass. Moreover, the White Goose can lay eggs continuously, and even its own meat can improve the family living conditions.
In fact, the white goose, like the dog, is a very sensitive animal. If there is any movement at home, it will keep barking and even play the role of guarding the home.
However, in folk areas, there will be a situation that raising geese for three years is equal to offering sacrifices to houses for three years. The main meaning of this sentence is that if you keep geese at home for three years, you can change your feng shui fortune.
Whether this statement is superstitious or not, once geese are raised at home in rural areas, terrible animals such as snakes can be avoided.
Third, the rooster
Rooster is a very common kind of poultry in rural areas. Raising roosters can improve the family environment in rural areas. At the same time, the purpose of raising cocks in many areas is to get up and crow in nursing homes.
But now, with the continuous development of the times, the rural sanitation environment has been paid more and more attention. Therefore, in today's rural areas, there will be no rooster in every household, but all of them have been changed into large-scale farms.
Early roosters were raised because hens were raised at home, which could change everyone's economic situation by laying eggs. Even by raising chickens, it is possible to make a fortune. When chickens are old, they can kill them to eat meat or sell them for money.
It can be seen that the role of raising chickens in the early stage is very important.
If you have collected traditional New Year pictures, you will know that there will be a rooster in the New Year pictures, and the purpose of the New Year pictures is to ward off evil spirits, so many people think that drawing a rooster on the New Year pictures can get twice the result with half the effort.
The rooster is considered as an animal in the town house, mainly because the rooster feels the sunrise every day, which represents the meaning of heaven and earth, and this meaning will not be affected by evil spirits, so there is a saying that the rooster can drive away evil spirits from the town house.
In fact, from a scientific point of view, there are no ghosts and gods in the world, and there is no way to get a more reasonable and scientific explanation for the saying of exorcism that people usually hear in their lives.
However, by raising these animals, we can see people's yearning for a better life through their ideas of changing their lives. At the same time, we can hear many similar proverbs in our life.
