Dan Ho Posted August 24, 2007 at 02:34 AM Report Posted August 24, 2007 at 02:34 AM My friend says this is a taoist seal. I'm not sure, I'd like to know what it means, if it means anything at all. Sorry for the small image. Quote
Lu Posted August 27, 2007 at 10:16 AM Report Posted August 27, 2007 at 10:16 AM Image size looks fine to me. The lower part reads 隨身保命, 'If you keep this with you [on your body] it will protect your life'. Quote
skylee Posted August 27, 2007 at 03:07 PM Report Posted August 27, 2007 at 03:07 PM Above 隨身保命, it is 敕令. I am not sure if it is called a "seal" in English, but I would call it a 符 / 符咒 -> 符咒 fúzhòu [Taoist magic figures or incantations] 道教在紙符上寫以咒語,用於作法 Quote
