The Three Pure Ones (Taoist deities)

Sanqing, also known as Sanqing Emperor, is an important deity in Taoism. They are Yu Qing, Shanghai Qing and Taiqing. Yuqing is the Yuanshi Heavenly Zun, the upper Qing is the Lingbao Heavenly Zun, and the Taiqing is the moral Heavenly Zun. The three emperors are considered to be the creators and rulers of the universe and have a high position in the Taoist faith.

Chinese incantations

In Chinese folk culture, many people would post Taoist symbols on their doorsteps or wear them on their bodies to seek peace and good luck. In addition, before and after some special occasions such as marriage, moving and other major events, Taoist priests will also be invited to do things for them and present symbols to obtain luck.

The impact of the environment on people

Environmental feng shui and talismanic formations occupy an important position in traditional Chinese culture and are regarded as important factors affecting people’s lives and destinies. Environmental feng shui refers to adjusting the qi field by arranging and utilizing the natural environment around one’s living or working place to improve people’s lives, work, and health. Talismanic formations, on the other hand, is a method of driving away evil and ensuring safety through talismans, amulets, and other items.
Firstly, environmental feng shui emphasizes the observation and analysis of the natural environment features around one’s living or working place. For example, geographical features such as mountains, rivers, and lakes all have an impact on a region and will directly affect the fate and well-being of local residents. According to feng shui theory, choosing a suitable living location can bring good luck, while an unsuitable location may bring bad luck.
Secondly, in practice, people will take a series of measures to improve the internal layout and decoration of their living or working place. For example, when placing furniture, one needs to consider whether the passageways are clear and whether there is sufficient sunlight. In decoration, one needs to pay attention to whether the color matching is reasonable. These details may seem trivial, but they can have a positive or negative impact on the qi field.
In addition, talismanic formations are widely used in China’s traditional culture to drive away evil and ensure safety. People believe that hanging auspicious objects or talismans with cursive writing can ward off evil and protect themselves. Setting certain formations in a room can also have the function of “settling the house”.
In summary, both environmental feng shui and talismanic formations reflect the traditional Chinese cultural concept of “harmony between man and nature” and are intertwined in daily life. Although modern society has developed to a stage where technology is highly advanced, many people still choose to use these ancient wisdoms to enhance the happiness and sense of security of themselves and their family members.
