In ancient society, it was generally believed that there were ghosts and gods in the world. Therefore, during the Lunar New Year, every household in China hangs something called "Fu Tao" outside the gate to drive away ghosts.

There are two theories about the origin of peach trees in ancient legends. Some people say that peach trees are generated by the diffusion of Yuheng stars; Others say that the peach tree is Kuafu's walking stick. According to legend, Kuafu is thirsty every day and drinks Weihe River water, but Weihe River water is not enough to quench his thirst. Kuafu wanted to drink osawa in the north, but he died of thirst before he arrived in osawa. He abandoned his cane and turned it into a peach grove.

In ancient times, people would paint the statues of Shen Tu and Lei Yu on two mahogany boards on holidays, or just write down the names of Shen Tu and Lei Yu and hang them on both sides of the gate to protect their homes. This is "Fu Tao". Later, people wrote couplets on mahogany boards, which is the source of Spring Festival couplets.
