The main introductory materials of Taoist talismans

In fact, this is not unique to Taoism. Traditional Chinese culture has always had the theory of the five elements, and the correspondence between the five elements and the five organs is also used in traditional Chinese medicine.

The five elements are born together: gold begets water, water begets wood, wood begets fire, fire begets earth, and earth begets gold.

The Five Elements are phased: Jin Ke Mu, Mu Ke Earth, Tu Ke Water, Water Ke Fire, Fire Ke Jin.

The meaning of the five elements is symbiosis:

Wood makes fire, because wood is warm, fire lurks in it, drills wood and makes fire, so wood makes fire.

Fire produces earth, because the fire is hot, so it can burn wood, and when wood is burned, it turns into ashes, and ash is earth, so fire produces earth.

Native gold, because gold needs to be hidden in the stone, attached to the mountain, born with revelry, gathered into a mountain, there is a mountain must give birth to stone, so the earth is born gold.

Gold gives birth to water, because the qi of less yin (golden qi) is warm and moist, gold is born by water, and gold can also be turned into water, so gold gives birth to water.

Aquatic wood, because the water is warm and moist and the tree grows, so the aquatic wood.

Meaning of the Five Elements: It is because of the nature of heaven and earth.

The many are victorious, so the water is better than the fire. Essence is better than strong, so fire is better than gold. Rigid and soft, so gold wins wood.

Specializing in scattering, so wood is better than soil. The real is better than the virtual, the homeland is better than the water.

It is a token of the ancient imperial court's mobilization of troops or the issuance of orders, usually made of bamboo or metal, with words engraved on it, and divided into two halves, half of which remained in the imperial court and half held by the general. It is a symbol of power and has the meaning of absolute obedience.

In the Han Dynasty, the idea of divine authority of the monarch was thought to give auspiciousness to the king, and he thought that it was a certificate of ordination, and this kind of certificate was called a talisman. Dao runes, also known as divine runes or heavenly runes. These contents and forms of Fu were borrowed by shamans, monks and Taoist priests to create and form in the world of ghosts and gods during the Han Dynasty.
