The Historical Origin of Fu Tao
The historical origin of Fu Tao can be traced back to the folk beliefs in ancient China. In ancient China, it was generally believed that mahogany had the effect of warding off evil spirits and avoiding disasters, so it was often worn as an amulet. The use of peach wood spells can be traced back to the earlier period of Taoist development.
Taoism is a major religion in ancient China, emphasizing self-cultivation and pursuing immortality. In Taoism, mahogany is regarded as an object with mysterious power and is used to make spells to ward off evil spirits and pray for peace. The use of peach symbol is very common in Taoist rituals and practices, and it is considered as a medium of communication with God.
Steps of making peach symbols
The production of peach symbols requires fresh peach trees, and generally choose peach trees that grow in the mountains because they are purer. The steps of making peach symbols are as follows:
Choose the right redwood: Choose the redwood with a diameter of about1.5-2cm and a length of about15-20cm.
Peel the peach skin: peel the peach skin with a knife to expose the white part of the peach.
Carving spells: Carve spells on mahogany with a knife. You can choose some scriptures or magic symbols to keep peace and ward off evil spirits.
Blessing and blessing: After the production is completed, you can ask Taoist priests or experienced people to pray and bless the peach symbol to increase its sacred power.
Through the above steps, a peach symbol is ready. The process of making peach symbols needs careful attention. I believe that only in this way can the peach charm have a better effect.
The Evolution and Development of Fu Tao
With the passage of time, some changes have taken place in the form and use of the peach symbol. In ancient times, peach symbols were generally made of peach wood, with different shapes, some long, some square or round. Spells are generally engraved with words and patterns, which are used to pray for blessings, exorcise evil spirits or keep peace.
In modern times, with the progress of science and technology, the materials for making peach symbols have also changed. Modern peach charms are mostly paper materials, and the spells and patterns on them are printed. This symbol of peach is more convenient, economical and convenient to use. However, some people still insist on using traditional mahogany spells, thinking that the effect is better.
