In old times, the Taoists or witches drew with brushes character-like symbols in red on yellow papers which people would carry with them to drive away the evil spirits and ensure their peace and safety. It figuratively refers to a person or thing that protects one from dangers.

旧时道士或巫师用红色的毛笔在黄色的纸上画毛笔在了似字非字的图形,让人家带在身上,说是可以驱邪消灾,保证性命安全。比喻可以避免灾难,保护自己的人或东西。
