Obsidian From ancient times to the present, obsidian has been used by the Han people as a talisman and amulet. Obsidian is one of the gemstones used in making Buddhist beads and handicrafts. In traditional Chinese folk customs, obsidian is usually combined with Pixiu to make various ornaments and decorations, which are worn or placed in the home to attract wealth, change luck, ward off evil spirits and protect the home.2. Peach wood “Insert peach branches at the door and put ashes underneath. Children are not afraid, but ghosts are afraid of it.” Peach wood is called fairy wood, also known as “demon-subduing wood” or “ghost-scare wood”. As the name suggests, it is the wood that ghosts are afraid of. The ancients said: You can’t live without peaches. In ancient times, people used peach charms to ward off evil spirits in their homes. 3. In the traditional concept of the Chinese nation, jade can ward off evil spirits, protect the house, eliminate disasters, and bring blessings and good luck. The formation of this traditional concept is the crystallization of the practical experience and lessons of successive generations. As the saying goes, people take care of jade and jade takes care of people. The longer you wear it, the more spiritual it becomes and it can ward off disasters for you. In ancient my country, jade was used as a talisman to ward off disasters and avoid danger. Since ancient times, jade has been regarded as a symbol of good fortune. It is common for ordinary people to see cracks or breaks in jade articles they have worn for many years, hence the saying "breaking jade can ward off disasters". Therefore, wearing jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade plaques, jade necklaces, etc., has the meaning of using jade to ward off disasters. 4. Millettia reticulata Millettia reticulata is a very famous Chinese medicinal material. Wearing it for a long time has the effect of dispelling wind and dampness. It not only has medical effects but also has the function of warding off evil spirits. In our country, the belief that chicken blood can be used to ward off evil, clear away turbidity, avoid disaster and bring good luck has been popular among the people and is still used today. 5. Sliced walnuts (also known as evil spirits) The evil-repelling talisman is made from walnuts, which are sliced walnuts. Due to the special internal structure of the walnut, the part retained in the middle and the naturally formed hollow pattern are very special, and are shaped like a pair of shoes, so they are called "evil-repelling talismans." Most of the evil-repelling objects are made of elm wood. They have beautiful patterns and some of their edges look like human or animal faces, so they are called "ghost faces" and can be made into wonderful pendants. What should you pay attention to when going out during the Ghost Festival?1. Food offered as sacrifices on the Ghost Festival should not be eaten, so as not to anger ghosts, especially children who are ignorant and may eat the food offered as sacrifices by others.2. Do not hang items such as wind chimes at home on the Ghost Festival, because according to Feng Shui, such items attract negative energy. 3. Don’t wear overly bright clothes on the Ghost Festival, such as bright red or bright green clothes, as they can easily attract ghosts. 4. Don’t go out on the night of the Ghost Festival. It’s best to go to bed early because the yin energy is very strong throughout the day. 5.

This is not only disrespectful to your ancestors, but it is also easy to take photos of inauspicious things. 8.
