Amulet for warding off evil spirits
In ancient times, it was a common practice to post door gods on the gates to ward off evil spirits.
On the day of the fair, a man who was well versed in the world bought a Taoist statue and put it on the door. His wife said to him: “All the door gods have vicious appearances, and they have daggers and knives in their hands, so that the ghosts can be scared away. The Taoist priest you bought has such a kind face, who is afraid of it?” < /p>
The man replied: “The world has changed, and honest people are more vicious.”
