Chinese peach wood culture has a long history and is an important carrier of auspicious, longevity and love culture. Since ancient times, peach wood has been said to ward off evil spirits. Dianshu records: “Peach, the essence of five woods, immortal wood. Can suppress evil spirits, and town ghosts.” In the The Mountain and Sea Scriptures: “In the vast sea there is a mountain of Dushuo, on the mountain there is a large peach tree, its branches winding three thousand li. In the northeast of peach branch, there is a ghost gate of all ghosts. There are two gods on the gate, one is called Shentu, and the other is called Yulei. They guard the ghost door, specially watch those evil spirits. Once found, they tied up the ghost with a rope made of reeds and threw it down the hill to feed the tiger. According to the record, Huangdi set up a peach board to be the door to drive away ghosts and ward off evil spirits. In the Song Dynasty, people painted the images of God Chentu and Yulei or just write their names on top of the two door boards, also known as “peach talisman” or called “door god”, so that if any evil ghost appeared, the two gods would catch it and feed it to the tiger. In China, peach wood has been an important weapon to ward off evil spirits. “Residence can not be without peach” is a unique Chinese folk culture. It expresses people's aspiration and pursuit for good things.
