What things can you never take home when you travel?

When traveling, it is inevitable to buy some local souvenirs to take home as a souvenir, but some things can't be taken home.

Thailand Budda

The Buddha statue in Thailand is a unique Buddhist ornament in Thailand, which belongs to the same category as the Buddha in China and Tibet, but it is smaller. Thais believe that the earth is the mother of human beings, so it must be made of clay, not gold, silver, copper, iron, crystal, colored glaze, glass, nor can these items be used to hold Buddhist cards. This is a reservation of faith and tradition.

Historically, there was a war between Myanmar and Thailand. Whenever a province or region is looted and pagodas are destroyed, a large number of Buddhist cards will be found in the ruins of pagodas. These Buddhist cards are extremely valuable and often have a history of hundreds of years. Most Buddha cards are made into small ornaments and enshrined in pagodas. The purpose is that if the stupa or Buddhist culture is persecuted in the future, Buddhist culture can also be passed on through small-sized Buddhist cards. Remind the world of the splendor and splendor of the Buddhist culture of our ancestors.

Many people will invite Zun Thailand budda to go home when they travel to Thailand, but how much do you know about Buddha cards? Is it really good to invite Buddha cards at will?

Many people say that Thai Buddhist cards will bring good luck to people. In fact, this statement is one-sided, because Thailand's Buddha cards are divided into three classes, heaven and earth. Heaven is the purest, but its magic is relatively weak. People's cards are more common, and the earth's cards are also called yin cards, which are used by some people who want to achieve their goals quickly through side doors.

When traveling in Thailand, you can buy Buddha cards in many places, but it is difficult to tell whether this Buddha card is a yin card or a yang card. Therefore, most people finally buy a female card, which will not only bring bad luck, but also bring bad luck of stroke. If you don't know the difference, you'd better not buy it!

bone

Many people travel to Tibet or Nepal and like to buy some exquisite handicrafts in the street, but little do they know that many of these handicrafts were actually made of slave bones by Tibetan wizards or nobles in the past, and the bowls may be human skulls; The horn can be a human leg bone; The small box may be pelvis. I don't know if I buy it or not.

Some people say that if these things are illegally possessed, they can easily evoke souls and attract souls from Nepal or Tibet.

Although there are few handicrafts made of this kind of bone products now, it is better not to take them home to be on the safe side.

Hawaiian sandstone

Although the Hawaii Tourism Bureau has clearly told "don't take any sand and stones from Hawaii", many tourists still ignore it. In fact, this notice is not from a purely environmental point of view, but because it is a curse to Hawaiians!

It is said that Hawaii has been an Indian kingdom for thousands of years, until the white people invaded, and a member of Hawaii's royal family left a curse when he died-"Anyone who takes Hawaiian land will come to no good end!" The land taken away also includes stones and sand taken away by tourists later, so tourists are recruited every year.

Some people took the Hawaiian stone without knowing the curse, and when they came back from tourism, they found that the photos could not be developed. Later, when I learned about the curse, I sent the stone back.

Among them, the black sand beaches in Hawaii are the most "evil". If you take this black sand home, even a little bit will bring disaster. That's the curse of the volcano god.

Scottish stone

The stone curse in Scotland is unknown, but the curse has been going on. It is said that the ancient Scottish warriors left a curse when they died, and outsiders were not allowed to take their land. Especially in the past, Scots were often invaded, which strengthened their grievances, so the curse has continued to this day.

I read about the origin of the Scottish stone spell from an ancient Scottish book. According to this book, Scots have been invaded by the British in the past. In order to protect the graves of their ancestors, the Scots put a curse: "Anyone who takes stones from the tombs will destroy the tombs, and they will have bad luck in the world, and those who do not repent will even die."

Turkish evil eye

Legend has it that Turkish prisoners on death row gouged out their eyeballs, wrapped them in resin and polished them.

This is a kind of witchcraft originated from gypsies in the Middle East. Hanging an evil eye at home or on your body can suck away the evil spirits of outsiders. Therefore, the wearer often needs to change the squint, because the evil spirit is full, which not only begins to have magic, but also harms people.

Generally speaking, evil eyes must be sent away after a period of time, but they must be sent away by means of transfer, gift, etc., and cannot be thrown away directly. One of the ways to send them away is to sell the used evil eyes to foreign tourists at a low price.

In the streets of Turkey, vendors say it's new. But it's better to be careful and don't buy it easily. Basically, 90% of evil eyes are old evil eyes, that is, second-hand squints. Ordinary laymen can't tell whether the evil eye is new or not, so it's best to avoid taking this souvenir home.

Egyptian black cat idol

I believe most people know the curse of Pharaoh in ancient Egyptian civilization. It is said that anyone who destroys the sleeping Pharaoh will be cursed. Even the stolen items in Pharaoh's tomb will bring misfortune, among which the black cat statue in Beitucheng is the most effective.

In the Egyptian black cat market, the god in charge of death can drive away evil spirits. People worship the black cat gods and support them as decorations or souvenirs. There are also many private vendors who steal the black cat gods from ancient tombs and sell them to tourists. Those gods were cursed by Pharaoh.

Cats worshipped as gods in Egypt, especially those favored by Pharaoh, will be made into black stone statues and put in Pharaoh's tomb after Pharaoh's death, so don't bring them home as souvenirs when traveling to Egypt.
