Why did Jigong bring a broom?

This is because the legend of Jigong often walks around with a broom on his back to sweep away dirty things. The broom also represents the purpose of cleaning up distractions and dust in his mind and purifying his mood. At the same time, brooms are also regarded as props to exorcise ghosts and help evil spirits in Taoism. Therefore, the image of Jigong holding a broom has been widely praised and expressed.
