Ghosts are also afraid of peach wood, a kind of feng shui item with high energy, so putting peach branches at the gate can play a role in exorcising evil spirits and keeping peace.
The legend of peach branches:
It is said that in ancient times, there was a particularly lush peach tree in Dushuo Mountain in the East China Sea. There are two immortals living under the peach tree, named Shen Tu and Lei Yu respectively. The greatest skill of these two immortals is to exorcise evil spirits, because there are peach trees where they live. People say that peach trees have the function of exorcism.
Later, in order to drive away evil animals, people put peach branches on doors, inscribed on mahogany boards, and placed peach branches horizontally in front of doors to prevent Nian animals from entering their homes. With the passage of time, the red board has gradually evolved into the Spring Festival couplets we see today. The custom of sticking peach branches in front of the door has been passed down to this day, in order to avoid evil spirits and disasters.
