Peach Wood Bamboo-Joint Red String Bracelet with Cinnabar(Wards Off Evil Spirits)

The Taoist Imperative: Why We Ward Off Evil to Safeguard Peace

In Taoist cosmology, the equilibrium of Yin-Yang energies (阴阳) governs all existence. Evil influences (邪气 *Xie Qi*) manifest as pathogenic forces that disrupt this delicate balance – be it lingering spirits of the deceased (游魂), environmental malefic energies (煞气), or karmic afflictions (业障). These destabilizing forces operate through three portals:  

⚠️Physical Vulnerability

*"Where vital Qi depletes, Xie Qi enters."* (《黄帝内经》)  

Weakness in the body's Wei Qi (卫气) allows illness/accidents to take root.  

⚠️Psychic Intrusion

Negative entities exploit mental unrest – nightmares, irrational fears, and emotional volatility serve as gateways for possession.  

⚠️Geopathic Assault

Malignant earth energies (地煞) and directional afflictions (方位冲煞) silently erode health and fortune.  

The Sacred Arsenal of Warding

道教法器 embody countermeasures forged from nature's primordial elements:  

☯️ Cinnabar (硃砂)

- *Yang Essence Incarnate:* Mercury sulfide crystals store solar energy (离火之气)  

- *Spiritual Antibiotic:* Disintegrates parasitic energies on contact  

- *Usage:* Hexagram-engraved beads create a pulsating protection field  

⚔️ Peach Wood (桃木)

- *Exorcism in Dendrology:* Since Zhou Dynasty rituals (《周礼·夏官》)  

- *Mechanism:* Releases *limonene* vapor lethal to negative entities  

- *Sacred Geometry:* Thunder Gods' sigils (雷文) carved at bamboo joints
