Warding Off Evil and Auspicious Fortune: The Rekong Tai Sui Talisman with Copper Casing
The Tai Sui Talisman (太岁符) is a traditional talisman for resolving the adversities of the Year of Tai Sui (化解犯太岁之年带来的诸事不顺). It is said to ward off evil and malevolent forces (去邪祟), protect peace (保平安), avert misfortune and bring auspicious fortune (逢凶化吉), and support a smooth and prosperous year (全年顺遂). Today we look at a 2.5x3.5cm talisman from the Rekong series—hand-painted with cinnabar base and pure gold pigment (画师纯手绘，朱砂作底，纯金粉绘灵符), with copper casing (观音铜壳), certificate available (可出证书), inheritable and collectible (可传承 可收藏)—a compact support for warding off evil and auspicious fortune.
Rekong Cinnabar and Gold The Rekong Talisman is hand-painted with a cinnabar base (朱砂作底)—the great red is the Qian trigram (大赤为乾卦), the colour of pure yang (纯阳之色). The sacred talisman is rendered in pure gold pigment (纯金粉绘灵符)—yellow at the centre of the five elements (黄色为五行之中庭), representing authority and righteous energy (代表权威正气), pacifying the ten directions (镇摄十方). The copper casing with Avalokiteshvara motif (观音铜壳) keeps the sacred talisman protected and ready for wear. Certificate available (可出证书).
