2. Sprinkling red beans
- It is a similar role to salt, so sprinkling red beans prevents bad energy. It is also said that sprinkling red beans wards off evil spirits because evil spirits hate red color.
3. Giving rice cakes to neighbors when people move to a new house
- People usually give red bean rice cake to their neighbors, and the reason was explained before. This is because red beans mean that they drive out evil spirits. Of course, they also give rice cakes to build friendship with their neighbors.
4. Eating seaweed soup
