Customs or stories and legends about the Spring Festival preferably less .

In ancient Chinese mythology, it is said that there is a world of ghosts, in which there is a mountain, on which there is a large peach tree covering 3,000 miles, and there is a golden rooster on the treetop. Whenever the golden rooster crows in the morning, the ghosts that wander out at night will drive back to the ghost realm. The gate of the ghost domain is located in the northeast of the peach tree, and there are two gods standing by the door, named Shen Tu and Yu Lei.

If the ghost did something unreasonable at night, Shen Tu and Yu Lei would immediately find out and catch it, tie it up with a rope made of mango reeds, and send it to feed the tiger. Therefore, the ghosts of the world are afraid of the gods and gloom. So the people carved their appearance with peach wood and placed it at the door of their house to ward off evil and prevent harm.

Later, people simply carved the names of Shen Tu and Yu Lei on the peach wood board, believing that this could also suppress evil and eliminate evil. This kind of peach plank was later called "peach charm".
