Peach trees are closely related to people's lives. Peach trees are used to ward off evil spirits in many villages. Therefore, there is an important reason for planting peach trees in front of the door and behind the house, besides edible peaches, because it has the magical effect of exorcism.

Today, when we walk into some quaint small villages in Heyuan, there are still many people who have planted peach blossom branches and leaves at the door, or left traces of peach blossom branches and leaves in those days. It is said that there is another important reason for this: peach trees can ward off evil spirits. The rumor that peach trees can ward off evil spirits has a long history. Since the Hakkas moved to Heyuan, they began to use peach trees to ward off evil spirits. Often when a family goes wrong, the elders will cut off a peach branch (with leaves) and put it in front of the family members' rooms. Of course, when the whole family feels unhappy, the elders put one in front of the kitchen. People not only think that the branches and leaves of peach trees can ward off evil spirits, but also the branches and fruits can "have this wonderful use".

Among so many peach tree "accessories", the most common one is to use "peach core to ward off evil spirits". April and May of the lunar calendar is the ripening season of peaches every year. At this time, walking on country roads, you will often find many children lying in streams and rivers "grinding peach stones". It turns out that in the eyes of these people, the branches and leaves of peach trees are often inserted at the door or made into household labor tools and furniture. In order to "ward off evil spirits", peach stones are most suitable for children to wear. Therefore, when peaches are ripe, adults at home will tell children to collect peach stones, take them to rivers, streams and other places, pour a little water on rough stones to smooth the thorns on both sides of the peach stones, then grind them into various shapes, then dig out the innermost "heart" of the peach stones with sharp things such as nails, and finally match a red rope in the hollow place and wear it on the neck, feet and hands. In the choice of peach stones, there are also stresses. There is also a proverb about peaches in Heyuan: "Eat peaches in March and talk about it in April". Although peach trees have many wonderful uses, peaches in March and April are absolutely inedible. Therefore, the peach pit at this time does not have the function of "exorcism". An important sign of choosing a good peach pit is whether the peach pit is old enough. The more mature the peach pit, the greater the "exorcism". In addition to the saying that peach nuclear energy "ward off evil spirits" is circulating in Heyuan area, there are also sayings in Wuhua and Xingning in Meizhou. In these Hakka areas, children wearing peach stones and inserting peach branches at the door are all manifestations of evil spirits.

There is a long-standing saying about peach nuclear energy to ward off evil spirits. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a Dongshan Mountain in the East China Sea, on which there were two gods, Tea and Lei Yu. They are good at catching ghosts. They often tie ghosts with reeds, kill them with peach sticks, feed them to tigers and beat them with peach branches. Over time, monsters regard peach trees as a tool of punishment and avoid them when they see them. In The Classic of Mountains and Seas, there is a record that "the Yellow Emperor was like a dharma, because he set up a peach board and painted Shen Tu and Lei Yu to ward off evil spirits, and later generations followed suit". Later, in order to suppress evil spirits and exorcise ghosts, ordinary people made peach swords out of peach wood and hung them on the portal to suppress evil spirits and control ghosts. Some people also use two red boards with Shen Tu and Lei Yu engraved on them, or just Er Shen's name. This kind of peach board is called "Fu Tao" or "keeper".

Because the peach pit is hard and not easy to break, it will not be damaged for hundreds of years. The more beautiful the carved peach Yue Shi is, its folklore can exorcise evil spirits, so it is deeply loved by people. Today, there are even manufacturers who specialize in processing peach wood and peach stones into bracelets and other handicrafts that are convenient for people to wear to ward off evil spirits.
