What do men bring to ward off evil spirits, men’s ward off evil spirits items
Nowadays, people like to wear some accessories to embellish themselves, cultivate their sentiments, and have the feng shui effect of bringing luck and turning evil spirits. So what should men wear to ward off evil spirits? In this issue, we will take you to learn about the anti-evil items that men bring to ward off evil spirits. Let’s take a look at the anti-evil items for men.
China has regarded jade as auspiciousness since ancient times. It is believed that as long as you wear jade or offer it with jade, you can attract good luck and avoid evil, and bring good fortune and blessings. As early as the Han Dynasty, there was the concept that jade can ward off evil spirits for the living and protect the corpse of the dead. Countless small jade articles, such as jade bracelets, jade bracelets, jade cicadas, jade butterflies, jade rabbits, etc. are widely circulated among the people in Vietnam, and are highly praised by the people. People believe that jade is the incarnation of gods. If you wear a jade instrument to ward off evil spirits around your waist or neck, no matter where you fall, you will never be seriously injured, let alone fatal. If you travel far away from home, you can avoid disasters or diseases caused by acclimatization.
Silver jewelry was more common than jade in the old days, and was mostly worn by children. Common ones include silver bracelets, silver anklets, silver necklaces, longevity locks, wealth chains and some small ornaments such as silver bell mushrooms and reeds. These silver pendants are made by folk craft silversmiths. Most of them are exquisitely made, with elegant shapes and beautiful patterns. Some are engraved with the twelve zodiac animals, and some are engraved with traditional mascots such as dragons and phoenixes, unicorns, cranes and deers. Many of the ornaments and objects customized for children are also engraved with the wearer's name and year of birth. There once was a skilled old silversmith in Sandu, Zhuji. The ornaments he made were deeply loved by the people nearby. Among them, the small silver gourd he made is a masterpiece: a half-inch-long ornament with nine dragons engraved on it; the gourd hangs upside down, with half a sword protruding from its mouth. According to folklore, children who wear these longevity chains and small ornaments can grow up healthily and be free from illness and disaster.
Folklore says that peach wood can suppress evil spirits and drive away bad odors. Therefore, wooden ornaments are mostly carved from peach wood or peach stones. Common ones include peach monkey, peach rabbit, peach tiger head, peach basket, etc. These small ornaments are mostly carved by skilled folk hands during the off-farm time. They are simple and cute in shape and low in price. Use red silk thread to hang on the child's wrist to ward off evil spirits and ward off disasters. This kind of ornament is very common in mountainous rural areas.
The silk thread ornaments are called "five-color silk" in ancient books and "cow rope" in Zhuji villages. It is also spread in a wider area than the above types of jewelry. "Cow rope" is a thin rope made of red, yellow, blue, black and white silk threads. In ancient times, it was also called "Zhu Suo" or "Long Life Thread". Yellow represents Zhong, and the other four colors represent the four directions of southeast, northwest, and perhaps also the Taoist theory of yin and yang of the five elements. It is said that colorful silk has magical power, can relieve plague and poison, drive away evil spirits and avoid evil. In the old villages of Zhuji, if a family had a fortune teller and their children were considered to have problems growing up, the grandmothers and mothers in the family would beg for colored silk from their neighbors. It is said that according to the age of a child, he must beg silk threads from different surnames, and the silk threads asked for by each family are longer than those of the same family. After gathering all the silk threads, they go to the temple in the village on an auspicious day, prepare an offering, light incense and candles, and ask the nuns to knit the "cow rope" while chanting sutras and knocking wooden fish. The cow rope is usually woven into a "hundred-knot" pattern and put around the child's neck. It is said that it can survive the festival.
Another one is Obsidian, also known as "Leader's Stone".
Obsidian has the strongest penetrating power and energy among all black gemstones. It has a strong ability to ward off evil spirits, can strongly absorb negative energy, and forms an excellent protective effect on the wearer. It is a great amulet. It can also prevent witchcraft, black magic and sorcery. Mayan temples in Mexico often use obsidian for the eyes, masks, mirrors, etc. of statues. Unfortunately, they have all been stolen now. What a pity.
Obsidian is a natural volcanic glass. If cut properly, it will reflect beautiful rainbow eyes. Rainbow Obsidian can bring people joy, satisfaction and enjoyment of life, and is also known as the "Black Diamond Warrior".
Crystal bracelets are generally worn on the left hand, while obsidian bracelets are suitable for wearing on the right hand to absorb negative energy discharged from the body.
Obsidian is not expensive. Don’t go to some big crystal stores to buy it. Most of the stones in the Stone are fake. They are really very expensive. Go to some small shops and you can find good ones at cheap prices. Pay attention to the rainbow eyes above. Black stones without rainbow eyes are generally fake obsidian.
Pixiu
There is a record in the Han Dynasty's "Biography of the Western Regions": "There are peach trees, lions and urinating cows in Wugo Mountain." Meng Kang noted: "The peach pulls out, and the talisman pulls out every day, like a deer's tail. The one with one horn is called the sky deer, and the one with two horns is called to ward off evil spirits." To ward off evil spirits is Pixiu.
Pixiu has many shapes and is difficult to subdivide.
After the change of dynasties, the shape of Pixiu is relatively unified, with a dragon head, a horse body, and lin feet. There is a long beard under the forehead, wings on both ribs, it can fly, and it is fierce and powerful, such as short wings, double horns, curly tail, and mane. It is often connected to the chest or back, with protruding eyes and long fangs. The most common and popular shape now is one horn on the head, long curly manes all over the body, some have wings, and tail hair tendrils. It has one of the biggest characteristics. This beast has no anus and can only go in but not out. It is metaphorically used to attract wealth.
