No. 3, Beans.

Not every bean has the magic power. Only mung bean, red bean, white bean and pea are considered to be powerful.

No. 4 Head of rooster and blood of dog.

It looks quite strange. But ancient Chinese believe that rooster and dog are all special animals, has magic power which can dispel all the evil things.

Do these small things have the immense power? Can any piece of them dispel all the evil things? Or they work together to dispel all the evil things?

I just heard that the peach, head of rooster and dog's blood and incense ash can be used to exorcise the devils. Usually, the peach sword is the most powerful. But I do not know why those things can dispel the devils. Who can explain it?

I think it's hard to explain the reason. Ancient people just believe it due to the reverence to nature and unbeknown things.

Well, does it reflect that Chinese people are superstitious or they have a strong belief in something? Those furnishings and elements really can exorcise the evil things?
