Scroll’s Mystical Mechanism
Calamity Aversion - Misfortune Dispelling - Evil Warding - Fortune Attraction
Paper Base: Traditional mulberry bark paper infused with sandalwood essence, chestnut-colored to embody Jiǎ Zhòu Hù Shēn ("Armor Protection") symbolism. Constructs a guardian qi barrier.
Cinnabar Inscriptions:
1. First stroke of "Bǎi" (百) transforms into a white command banner (Bái Lìngqí), rallying celestial thunder warriors.
2. "Jiě" (解) incorporates a blade-like gāng talisman to sever evil attachments.
3. Three dots in "Xiāo" (消) morph into thundercloud patterns; the fire-radical base of "Zāi" (灾) ignites Li trigram flames to incinerate negativity.
4. Thunder-Command Motifs: Dual borders feature Wǔ Léi Hào Lìng ("Five Thunder Command") seals. The central "Chì" (敕) character invokes celestial energies, forging a Thunder Barrier that shields within a 5-zhàng radius (~16 meters).
Zen Philosophy & Heritage
1. Crafted according to the Thunder Ministry Register in the Daoist Canon (《道藏》·雷霆都司箓) (c. 1100 Song Dynasty YEAR). Talismans must be painted on Yuè'ēn (月恩) & Sì Xiàng (四相) auspicious days.
2. Hanging Ritual: Facing south, chant:"Thunder shakes the void, disasters dissolve, evil dares not trespass, our home flourishes."
3. Annual Renewal Rite: Replace on Jīngzhé (惊蛰) solar term day. Roll the old scroll into a command flag, burn in an iron tripod, then scatter ash-mixed glutinous rice on rooftops to suppress lingering evils.
4. Sacred Space Requirement: Never place in unclean areas to preserve its purifying energy.
