Whether you put it at home or wear it on your body, most of you can see evil spirits. Many children can also see handicrafts made of wood to ward off evil spirits, mainly to protect their health.

Most people know that mahogany can ward off evil spirits. In ancient times, there was a custom of putting peach branches by the door to ward off evil spirits. The earliest Spring Festival couplets were also made of mahogany. In addition to mahogany, many people doubt whether Sophora japonica can ward off evil spirits, because there is a legend that Sophora japonica attracts ghosts next to the word "ghost". Is that locust tree also a wood to ward off evil spirits?

The wood of Sophora japonica is hard, which can be used as greening tree, street tree and so on. It is considered to represent Lu in Feng Shui. In the ancient court, there were three pagodas and nine thorns. Doctors or officials sat below, facing the three pagodas, which was the three fairs. Therefore, Sophora japonica has the highest rank among all trees, and the town house is authoritative. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty built the Garden, his ministers were far away, offering different fruits and trees, among which Sophora japonica was also listed as a different tree, contributing more than 600 plants.

Almost everyone wants to leave their leaves and return to their roots when they are old. Ghosts in Sophora japonica refer to people who die, their bodies are buried, and their souls return to their ancestral temples, not ghosts in trees. It is recorded in the ancient geomantic monograph "Ten Books of Yangzhai": "There are trees in the middle door, and there are three generations of wealth." It can be seen that Sophora japonica is not only a guard tree, but also can ward off evil spirits and attract wealth.
