As one of the important decorative objects in the courtyard, plants play a very special role. Plants usually have strong vitality. Planting a large number of healthy plants will create a fresh and energetic environment and help reduce radiation and static electricity generated by various items in modern families. Plants can also release oxygen through photosynthesis and provide fresh air for their homes. Many plants are more spiritual because of their special texture and function, and will protect their homes and human life, which can also be called the patron saint of houses. So the plants in the courtyard play a great role. Many people don't believe in Feng Shui, but they plant plants at home to ward off evil spirits. The town house can not only exorcise evil spirits, but also keep the family safe. But not all plants can ward off evil spirits, and the correct choice will have the expected effect. Today we will discuss which plants can ward off evil spirits from the perspective of folklore and metaphysics.

First, mahogany

Peach wood, also known as dragon wood, is smooth and fragrant. The ancient book "Taiping Yulan" records: "Those who make peaches are the essence of five trees, while those who make peaches suppress evil spirits. This immortal wood is also the essence of ghost-door peach wood, which makes hundreds of ghosts, so it is also a magical work to make peach wooden swords and evil spirits. " And Li Shizhen also recorded in his book Compendium of Materia Medica: "Peach tastes spicy and boring, so you can hate it". Therefore, if you feel that there are many ghosts or ghosts at home for many years, you can also plant peach trees to ward off evil spirits, eliminate ghosts and keep peace.

Second, ginkgo trees

Ginkgo tree not only acts on traditional Chinese medicine and health preservation, but also has more magical exorcism effect. Ginkgo trees can live for thousands of years because their flowers bloom at night and it is difficult for people to see them at ordinary times. Therefore, ginkgo biloba is regarded as a tree with mysterious power. Among Taoist instruments, many use ginkgo trees as exorcism instruments.

Third, willow trees.

Willow is one of the 28 stars, which has the function and effect of exorcising evil spirits among the people since ancient times. Therefore, when you feel that your home is not peaceful and you are prone to encounter dirty things at home, you can plant willows at your door or hang willow branches at the gate to ward off evil spirits.

Four. folium artemisiae argyi

Artemisia argyi, also known as Artemisia argyi. According to the ancient book Jingchu Sui Ji: "Take Ai as a human being. Hanging on the door, there is poison gas. " The fifth volume of Jia Qinglu also records: "Taking Pu as the sword, Peng as the whip, and hanging garlic on the bed with peach stalks are all ghosts." Peach stalks are auspicious things to ward off evil spirits, and garlic is regarded as a bronze hammer symbolizing weapons, which is matched with Pu Jian and Peng Bian to drive away furtiveness. In ancient times, people hung mugwort leaves at the door to drive away bad luck and evil spirits. Nowadays, Zhejiang, Hunan and other places still have the folk custom of burning mugwort leaves to repel mosquitoes and ward off evil spirits.
