A Qing Dynasty period (清朝, 1644-1912) Daoist (Taoist) talisman featuring the 5 (five) Sacred Mountains in Daoism. This talisman contains Daoist "magic writing" and a map-like chart of the 5 (five) Sacred Mountains.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Mount Song (Songshan 嵩山) in Henan (河南) province is the Center Peak (中岳) and where the Shaolin Temple (少林寺) is located.

Mount Song is associated with the the Earth (土) Element and the Yellow Dragon (黄龙). The loess soils of the Yellow River are yellow.

The emperor of this peak is the “Holy Emperor Zhong Tianchong of Mount Songshan in Zhongyue” (中岳嵩山中天崇圣大帝).

This Daoist charm, displaying ‘true form’ symbols, was created to guide and protect pilgrims traveling to the Five Great Mountains in their quest to discover the true reality known as the Dao. If one were to ignore the advice to carry such a talisman, Ge Hong warned: “If someone enters the mountains possessing no magical arts, he will suffer harm”.
