The Taotie wards off invasive evil spirits through its "ferocious energy," safeguarding the sanctity of the ritual space.
Although orthodox Taoism views the Taotie as an ominous beast, folk beliefs have evolved the concept of "warding off evil with fierce symbolism."
Merchants wear ornaments adorned with Taotie motifs, adopting its "devouring motif" to symbolize gathering and guarding wealth; in Feng Shui, it is used to stabilize "wealth sectors," preventing the outflow of money.
