What are Taoist implements?

Taoist instruments include: peach wood, Sanqingzhong, gourd, yellow symbol and sword.

1, Taojian: Actually, peach wood has its historical background to ward off evil spirits. It is recorded in Zhuangzi that a boy is not afraid of it and a ghost is afraid of it. According to Shan Hai Jing, the Gate of Hell is a shrine between peach trees. When ghosts come out to hurt people, they come out to catch them. So at that time, people carved peach wood into the shape of an altar and stood on the left and right doors.

2. Sanqing Bell: Sanqing Bell is also called "Emperor Bell" and "Fa Bell". The upper end of Sanqing bell handle is a practice, which is divided into three forks, like a mountain, symbolizing Sanqing Buddha. This is the origin of the name Sanqingzhong! Sanqing is the highest Taoist god, named after Sanqing Zun, which shows the great power of Sanqing Bell.

3. Hulu: The homonym of Hulu is Fulu, the vine on Hulu is called tendril, and the homonym is "Wandai". Together, it is "Fulu Bandai", which means good luck! In Taoist legend, the gourd is a family of its own, and the sun and moon in the pot come from it. It refers to the quiet life of Taoism, and Taoist utensils are always inseparable from gourds. The hanging pot is a gourd, and the immortal star always carries a gourd.

4. Huangfu: The ancient imperial court would make some bamboo symbols and carve characters on them. The imperial court kept half of it, and the soldiers outside held bamboo symbols, indicating that they had certain rights, but at the same time they had to submit to the imperial court. Later, in the Han Dynasty, Huangfu was invented.

5. Magic sword: also known as sword, spirit sword and seven-star sword. There are bronze big dipper patterns on both sides of the steel forged sword body, and dragon and tiger or symbol patterns near the hilt. Sword is a powerful tool to slay demons, and Zhang Tianshi's heirloom is the seal of sword and Shi Tian. Usually, a seven-star sword with a thin body is used by holding two swords side by side, and sometimes it can be divided into two hands, which is also called double sword or combined sword.
