Can mahogany really ward off evil spirits? Who knows better?
Actually, there are many legends about peach trees to ward off evil spirits. However, it is recorded in Shan Hai Jing. Legend has it that there is a mountain in the East China Sea of China, which is guarded by two gods, Shen Tu and Lei Yu. There are many peach trees on the mountain. The branches of the peach trees are very long, winding for several meters, and the branches are facing the death gates where ghosts go in and out. It happens that Shen Tu and Lei Yu are experts in catching ghosts. When they saw ghosts coming out, they picked peach branches and whipped them. Over time, this method of playing with ghosts with peach branches has spread widely and everyone knows it.
