What does it mean to put wood under the bed?

The saying that there is wood under the bed comes from folklore. Because most people in ancient times lived in wooden or bamboo houses and beds were common furniture, whenever people lived in a new place, they would put a piece of wood under the bed, which meant that their new home was peaceful. This practice has been handed down over time and eventually formed a traditional custom.

The wood under the bed has another meaning, which is "amulet". When encountering some difficulties or having some dreams that are blocked, people will put a piece of wood under the bed and put their worries, wishes and possessions in it, believing that this piece of wood can bring them protection and guarantee.

In modern society, although it is no longer necessary to put wood under the bed to express the tranquility of new homes, people's pursuit of certain items or symbols proves from the side that traditional culture is still being passed down. There are also some people who take the wood under the bed as a psychological hint and think that their families will be safe and healthy, and there will be no diseases and accidents. Therefore, whether you believe in religion or superstition, the meaning of wood under the bed has surpassed the traditional custom itself and become a symbol and an interpretation of modern psychology.
