On the Mid-Autumn Festival, why did the ancients like to use ancient coins to ward off evil spirits?

Ancient copper coins have the functions of dispelling evil spirits, exorcising evil spirits, saving houses and attracting wealth in geomantic omen. If used properly, their effects are very remarkable.

Children wear copper coins around their necks to ward off evil spirits. Before the Yuan Dynasty, there was no record of peach swords. Therefore, peach wooden swords were mostly from after the Yuan Dynasty, and they were more common in novels in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, probably because the Yuan Dynasty banned martial arts, and it was also forbidden for people to carry swords in the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the appearance of copper coins swords is natural! Copper coins have two main functions:

First, winning money

Winning money is also called winning money, which is also called betting money and winning money, and it is not a currency. An ancient coin used as a lucky product or an evil thing. Ornament worn by children. It originated in the Western Han Dynasty and was cast in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. And spells appear almost at the same time. So it's useful to suppress ghosts and ward off evil spirits. There is also a special money for soldiers. It says, "Get rid of the fierce, go to the center", "Don't make an army" and "Five elements of cloth", and so on. In various occasions, from building the foundation of the house to the beam, from burial to burial, from auspicious gifts to fierce gifts, and then to magic, winning money exists for various purposes.

Some people think that the source of money-weariness is the primitive "Mingbi": the ancients thought that there was a kind of ghost named "Sheng" that lived in the soil, specifically sucking the brains of the dead, so that its "second death" could not be revived in the underworld, so there must be physical constraints. In this sense, the early win-losing money can also be used as mingbi!

second, the five emperors' coins

The five elements of ancient copper coins belong to gold, and copper absorbs the gas field better than gold and silver. Five emperors' copper coins refer to the copper coins of the five emperors Shunzhi, Kangxi, Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, which have the functions of preventing evil spirits, preventing villains, avoiding evil spirits and prospering wealth. The five emperors' ancient coins are cleaned and opened, put into red envelopes, add some tea, rice and a coin, and then put into wallets or handbags, which can ward off evil spirits, protect oneself from evil spirits and enhance your luck.

Money is for human use and has a unique human yang, so it has a certain suppression effect on stealth. Therefore, in fact, it is still useful to use the five emperors' money as long as it is true, but now it is all dug up, or it has not flowed through, so the so-called five emperors' money is like that. What is really useful is the copper coins that have been handed down from ancient times (not into the pit). You don't have to turn on the light to distribute the air, it's just normal. It will be stronger if the light is turned on. It turns out that children's hats used to press money like this later.

3. Money Sword

So there are money swords, but they won't last long, that is, around the Qing Dynasty. Because the sword will be used by the Qing court as an excuse for rectifying the old road. That's why we invented the money sword. The effect is actually not as good as the real sword. There is no decree, no certification, how dare you use a real sword when you come out? And the official bought everything. The restrictions are tight. So it can be simulated with some red rope copper coins. Sun be the spirit is enough.
