2.Literary and historical basis of peach wood: "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that peach wood has the characteristic of "disgusting evil spirits". Archaeological discoveries have records of the use of peach charms as early as the Han Dynasty. Modern botany has found that peach wood volatile substances do have antibacterial effects.
3.The economic value of Five Emperors' money: Qing Dynasty coins were given the saying of "gathering yang energy" due to their long circulation time and many hands. The collection market shows that the price of genuine Five Emperors Coins set has exceeded 2,000 yuan per set.
3. Carrying suggestions for different scenarios
| scene | Recommended items | Carrying method |
|---|---|---|
| Traveling at night | Obsidian pendant + salt bag | Hang on chest/put in pocket |
| Moving into new home | Peach wood sword + five emperors' money | Hanging gate/buried under threshold |
| hospital visit | Crystal bracelet + cinnabar bag | Wear on left hand/put in bag |
| wild camping | Dog tooth necklace + garlic | Wear it next to your body/around the tent |
4. Experts’ reminders
1. Religious items must respect relevant belief norms. For example, crosses should not be mixed with Buddhist items.
2. Some natural materials (such as cinnabar) need to pay attention to the heavy metal content and avoid direct skin contact or ingestion.
3. The effect of psychological suggestion is greater than the actual effect. Maintaining a positive attitude is the best "talisman"
4. 90% of the “consecration items” that sell well online are suspected of false advertising, so you must choose formal channels to purchase them.

@风水 enthusiast 小陈: I have been wearing Five Emperors Money for 3 months, and my sleep quality has improved significantly (possibly due to psychological suggestion)

@中文physician Ms. Li: The peach wood sachet made during the Dragon Boat Festival has a auxiliary effect on calming the nerves and promoting sleep.
