Ye Ying didn't want this rune book, so she put it aside and went to read the next one.

The book below seems to be about Taoism.

Taoist runes, also known as "talismans", are mysterious symbols of Taoist culture, carrying profound historical and cultural implications.

The origin of Taoist talismans can be traced back to about three thousand years ago, and is actually a continuation of the Huang-Lao Taoist tradition.

Its original form may be simple, containing only one or two characters; however, its complex ones may include elements such as talismans, stars, cloud seals, and images of gods.

A complicated talisman is usually composed of three parts: the talisman head, the talisman foot and the talisman orifice. The talisman orifice is particularly important because it is regarded as the place where the soul of the talisman resides.

The talisman orifice is actually a symbol of the talisman's spiritual core and source of power.

In Taoism, are talismans more than just ordinary words and images?

It is the bridge between Taoists and gods, and also the manifestation of spiritual will and inner strength.

Each talisman contains the Taoist's sincere prayers and magical powers. It can exorcise evil spirits, protect the house and settle down, cure diseases and save lives, and even call the wind and rain, and exorcise demons. It is omnipotent.

Is it really that magical? Ye Ying wondered in her heart.

The talisman orifice is the core of the talisman, carrying the essence, spirit and energy of the talisman like a soul. It is actually the energy hub of the entire talisman!

Its shape may appear in words, images, or the names of gods and immortals, and its forms are varied due to the differences in the talismans.

First, Taoists firmly believe that everything in the universe is interconnected, and the orifices in the talisman are the key to this connection. They are not only the source of the talisman's power, but also the bridge between man and gods, and man and nature.

Through the use of talismans, Taoists are able to connect the energy of heaven and earth and achieve a harmonious fusion of human will and natural laws.

Secondly, the act of drawing talismans is actually a ritual that requires concentration and self-cultivation.

Before drawing a talisman, the Taoist priest must purify his body and mind, keep his mind focused, and not allow any distracting thoughts to disturb his mind, in order to preserve the purity of the talisman and its effectiveness.

The various parts of a talisman, such as the talisman head, the main deity or Buddha, the talisman belly, the talisman heart and the talisman foot, together constitute a complete talisman. However, the talisman orifice is the most important component in this structure.

Finally, let us stand on the bank of the long river of history and look back at the past. We can find that talismans actually originated from the ancient and mysterious witch culture.

This culture has existed since ancient times, but it was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that it really began to flourish and spread widely.

As time went by, in the long development process of Taoism itself, the art of talismans has undergone repeated improvements and changes.

In fact, the talisman is not just a component of the Taoist magic system; it is more like a mirror, clearly reflecting the ancient people's various interpretations of those complex natural phenomena, and also reflecting their never-ending desire for knowledge and unremitting exploration of the endless unknown world.

In short, the reason why the talisman orifice is so important is that it is not only the core that gives the talisman powerful power, but also the key hub for communication between humans, gods and nature. It can even be said to be a true reflection of the Taoists' inner practice and state of mind when they are fully focused.

Taoists have always firmly believed that talismans possess mysterious powers, such as being able to dispatch gods, control ghosts, suppress demons, exorcise evil spirits, cure diseases, and pray for blessings, etc.

These incredible abilities make Taoist talismans an extremely precious treasure, which are often used to protect people from the invasion of evil spirits or to bring people a happy, prosperous and auspicious life.
