With the arrival of the college entrance examination holiday, a large number of Chinese people began to fly to tourist spots around the world to relax. In addition to eating and filming, people will more or less bring back some special products as a memorial. However, in some places, the specialties are characterized by an evil nature. If you do not believe it, I will give you an analysis of the following:
01 Tiibet Human Bone souveni
People who travel to Tiibet or Nepal always like to buy small boutiques in street vendors, but some playthings are not simple, they are human bones souvenirs.
These souvenirs, made from slave bones by past Tiibet witches or aristocrats, may be human skulls; trumpets may be human leg bones; boxes may be pelvic bones, and you don't know if you bought them.
Some people say that if these things are illegally owned, it is easy to attract spirits, and can attract the soul of Nepal or Tiibet. It's really going to be great!
Puzzle solution: the harm of Bone Crafts?
Although most of this is now made of imitation or animal bones, you must be careful when you are lucky to buy the real thing. After all, you will never know where the bone came from, because it takes a lot of risk to get this kind of bone. It is not always possible to find high-altitude areas that have experienced hardship and danger. But to be safe, it would be better not to bring them home.
02 Old copper coins in the second-hand market
Some people especially prefer antiquities, travel to rich places can not help but go to Taobao, but second-hand antiquities really should be careful to enter, in addition to be careful to be deceived, but also beware of the way.
How dark are the ancient coins?
In ancient times, copper money was also used to exorcise evil spirits, with the effect of gathering spirits, but because of the increasing scarcity of the market, more and more grave robbers dug up from their graves. Even the copper money placed in the victim's mouth may be dug up and cleaned and sold. So unless you're sure it's passed down from the family, it's best not to buy it and leave it at home to avoid getting dirty stuff back. After all, there's too little copper money in the market right now.
So, when many people collect or look for copper money like the five emperors, please choose more copper money from the old money bags than from the second-hand market vendors.
03 curse of Scottish stone
Ancient Scottish warriors were cursed when they died, forbade outsiders to take away the land there, especially when Scots were often invaded to reinforce their grievances, so the curse continues to this day.
What's the secret of the stone in Scotland?
The origin of the Scottish Stone curse is seen in an ancient Scottish book. According to the book, the old Scots were invaded by the English, and the Scots, in order to protect their ancestors' graves, fell a curse: "whoever takes the stones from the ancient tombs will destroy the cemeteries, and they will be doomed." Those who do not repent even die. "
04 Hawaiian sandstones
If you go to the beach, will you go to the beach to pick up beautiful shells? I believe that 80% of people will do it! Or you are a young literary and artistic youth, about to hold a bottle of sea sand as a memento of it! But in fact, despite the damage to the island, not all places of sand are suitable for us to pack home, especially Hawaii!
Answer: what is the secret of Hawaii's sand?
Hawaii's tourism bureau has written the "Do not remove any sand in Hawaii", many of which only think it's the cause of environmental protection, don't break nature, but it's actually because of the Hawaiian curse.
Hawaii has been an Indian kingdom for thousands of years until it was invaded by white men, and one of the royal members of Hawaii was cursed on the verge of his death-"anyone who takes Hawaiian land will not end well!"
Those who took the land also included stones and sand later taken by visitors, so tourists were recruited every year.
Hawaii's Black Beach is the most "evil," and if you go home with this black sand, even a little bit will bring disaster. It was a curse from the volcanic gods.
05 Turkish evil eyes
Turkey has not only romantic, but also evil-eyed Evil Eye, also known as blue-eyed Blue Eye, is Turkey's most famous hand letter, but also the most evil things. Evil eyes can be said to be a local very common amulet, can be met in the streets, but also can often see tourists buying.
Turkey's evil eyes are inherently evil-spirited, and the locals believe that it has the power to fight and absorb evil spirits and, in our words, to "attack them with poison." Therefore, a little carelessness, but also hurt themselves.
Legend has it that the ancient Turks gouged out the eyes of the death penalty prisoners, wrapped them with resin and polished them, and wearing them on them could suck away evil spirits, envy, and keep the master at peace forever. It is because the local people believe that the evil eye will resist and absorb the magic of evil sight. Once the evil eye breaks down, it will show that the evil eye has played a role in avoiding evil spirits, and people will put on a new evil eye instead.
The answer: what is the magic of Turkey's evil eyes?
Generally speaking, Turkey's evil eyes are the best when they are brand new. The Turks believe that evil eyes can absorb evil spirits and bring themselves good luck, but after a period of time, evil eyes must be sent away when they gather to a certain extent. But to send away is to transfer the gift, not directly throw him away. One way to send away is to sell used evil eyes to foreign tourists at a low price.
In Turkey, the evil eyes of the streets, peddlers say is new, no problem. But you should know that evil eyes full of evil must also be sold to foreign tourists to send the squint eyes away. So be careful not to buy easily. Basically, 90% of the evil eyes are old evil eyes, that is, second-hand evil eyes. Ordinary laymen can't tell if evil eyes are new, so it's best to avoid bringing such souvenirs home.
In addition, evil eyes need to be changed frequently, back to the place where we live, a year later, what are you going to do properly? You must know that evil eyes cannot be discarded.
06 Thai Buddha
The Buddha of Thailand is well known as the Buddha, and the heart is the spirit. The Thai Buddha is also welcome by the world, its beautiful appearance, the meaning of the value, the popularity. But it's not a casual thing to buy a Buddha.
The answer to the puzzle: why can't Buddha cards be bought casually?
The Buddha card is a kind of Buddhism ornaments unique to Thailand. It belongs to the same category as the wipe Buddha of China's Tiibet, but is smaller in size. The Thais believe that the earth is the mother of human beings and must be made of earth, not gold, silver, copper, iron, crystals, glazed glass, or glass. In Thailand, Buddhist cards are placed in small rattan boxes.
Thai Buddha cards do not necessarily bring good luck. Thai Buddha cards are divided into three classes, heaven and earth. Heaven is the purest, but the mana is also relatively weak, people are more general, the ground is also called Yin card, are used by some people who wish to achieve the goal quickly through the sidelines.
Travel to Thailand, a lot of places can buy a Buddha card, but you can not clearly tell whether the card is Yin or Yang card. The price of the negative brand is much cheaper than that of the general Yang brand. So many people do not know that they have bought a negative card, hoping to bring themselves good luck, but it may backfire.
If you really want to go home, be sure to find a professional master to help you pick it out and know exactly where to come and what to pay attention to. Before buying Buddha cards, understand the ingredients, sources and production of Buddha cards, clearly know the source, dare to take home calmly.
07 Egyptian statue of black cat

People worship the black cat god, support them for furnishings or souvenirs, and there are also many greedy private vendors who steal the black cat idol from the ancient tomb and sell it to tourists.

08 Romanian wood
In Eastern Europe, where vampires and werewolves have long been legendary, wood is often used as a weapon against these two monsters (such as crucifixion, crucifixion or mallet) and is particularly vulnerable to their grievances. So don't take this cross home as a souvenir even if you like it again.
09 Mani heaps of stones
In Tiibet mountains, junctions, lakes, almost all can be seen in the Mani heap, also known as the "heap of gods", Tibetan known as "gang", is the meaning of "built-up stone." On the Mani heap are slates or stones engraved with Mani scripture, such as the six-word and the six-character secret spell of the benzene religion, as well as some arrows and shepherds, antelope feet or whole skulls with feet.
