Is the peach blossom tree auspicious tree?

Peach trees are auspicious fruits of longevity in geomantic omen. In fairy tales, the longevity man of Fu Lushou Samsung has always held the image of Xiantao, so he is considered as the representative of prolonging life.

Moreover, in some feng shui classics, peach trees and fruits have the ability to ward off evil spirits in feng shui. Planting peach trees at home has different meanings in different directions.

In the ancient mythology of China, it is said that there is a ghost world, in which there is a mountain, a big peach tree covering three thousand miles, and a golden rooster at the top of the tree. Whenever the golden rooster crows in the morning, the ghost who travels at night will rush back to the ghost domain. The gate of the ghost domain is located in the northeast of the peach tree. There are two gods standing by the door, named Shen Tu and Lei Yu. They each hold peach branches and specialize in catching evil spirits.

If the ghost does something unnatural at night, Shen Tu and Lei Yu will immediately find it, catch it, tie it up with a rope made of Miscanthus and give it to the tiger. So all the ghosts in the world are afraid of Shen Tu and Lei Yu.

So people carved them into peach trees and put them at their doorsteps to ward off evil spirits and prevent harm. Later, people simply carved the names of Shen Tu and Lei Yu on the mahogany board, thinking that this could also eliminate disasters. This kind of red board was later called "peach symbol" and was also considered as one of the founders of New Year pictures.
