民间对付“撞邪”的几样东西，到底是什么说法

The rural advice on “what to do if you’ve run into evil” usually mentions the following things.

Blood from the tip of the tongue. It’s said that human tongue-tip blood has the most vigorous yang energy; bite your tongue tip, spray it out, and evil things will be afraid. Actually, biting your tongue hurts a lot—someone might bite it badly, the blood won’t stop, and they end up in the hospital.

Boy’s urine. A little boy’s urine is said to be “pure yang”; sprinkle it at the door and windows, and evil things can’t get in.

Black dog blood, rooster blood. The elders say black dogs can see both the yin and yang worlds, so their blood is best for warding off evil; when a rooster crows, day breaks and yang energy rises, so rooster comb blood is useful too.

Peach wood. A very old book says the legendary hero Hou Yi was beaten to death with a peach-wood club, and from then on ghosts feared peach wood. That’s where later peach-wood swords and peach-wood talismans come from.

Cinnabar. Red, a mercury-containing mineral; ancient Taoists used it to draw talismans.

Glutinous rice. Sprinkle it at the door, supposedly to keep unclean things out; some say it can treat wounds from ghost bites. This idea comes from the legend of hopping vampires.

Mugwort. Hung at the door during the Dragon Boat Festival, burned to fumigate the house—all to drive away evil, and it really does repel mosquitoes.

These are all traditional folk beliefs with no scientific basis; don’t try them. Especially biting your tongue—easy to get hurt—and cinnabar contains mercury, which is toxic.

If you really encounter something you can’t explain, go to the hospital first, get some sleep, eat something. Most of the time, it’s just that the person is too tired.
