Taoist talismans are incredibly diverse and numerous. Based on different classification standards, they can be roughly divided into the following major types: runes, cloud script, spirit talismans, treasure talismans, and talisman diagrams, etc.
Moreover, each type has a unique external form and practical function.
Taoist talismans, as a mysterious and ancient symbolic system, occupy a pivotal position in China's long and splendid traditional culture.
It is not limited to Taoist religious rituals, but has also permeated the daily lives and spiritual world of ordinary people, exerting a profound influence on them.
Throughout history, many outstanding Taoist figures have been closely associated with talismans, among whom Qiu Chuji is the most famous.
These Taoist sages, with their profound Taoist cultivation and unique insights into the laws governing the universe, made indelible and significant contributions to the evolution and practical application of Taoist talismans.
According to books, if Taoist talismans are classified according to their origins and schools, the number of names is dazzling. There are the Zhengyi School, Shangqing School, Lingbao School, Sanhuang School, Beidi School, Shenxiao School, Donghua School, Tianxin School, Hunyuan School, Shengxuan School, Xihe School, Lushan School, Chenzhou School, Nangong School… and so on, the list is endless!
It truly was a time of "letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend"!
These so-called "seventy-two schools of talismanic arts" each have a long and rich lineage of tradition and are unique in their own way.
In addition, based on the different effects and uses of the talismans themselves, they can be further divided into three major categories.
———The Celestial Symbols are in charge of observing astronomy and meteorology and predicting good and bad fortune.
———The geomancy symbol focuses on surveying the feng shui dragon veins and adjusting the yin and yang energy fields.
—Finally, the human body talisman focuses on individual physical and mental health, and protects against harm and good fortune.
Each category contains endless mysteries waiting for future generations to explore and comprehend.

It turns out that these runes contain such a vast and profound amount of knowledge, which I had previously only had a superficial understanding of, and could even be described as ignorant and blinded by a single leaf!

The little white fox Tianyao nodded obediently and replied, "I understand, little master."
Then I started seriously looking for information that would be useful to me.
