| 摘要 | The mid-fifteenth-century Taoist Canon (Zhengtong daozang 正统道藏) contains five specimens of a religious artefact called "Great Peace Symbol" ("Taiping fu" 太平符), dispersed between five texts spanning about a millennium. The introduction to this paper discusses the meaning of the Chinese word fu 符 and its most widely used English rendition, "talisman". The article briefly presents the source of each specimen, attempts a deconstruction of its morphology, and analyses its modus operandi, thus providing a basic methodological model to outline the historical evolution of the category of "fu" artefacts from early medieval portable devices endowed with specific apotropaic functions – like charms and amulets – to multipurpose ritual implements designed for use within the framework of early modern Taoist liturgy. The epilogue introduces a sixth specimen, differently named but morphologically and functionally related to the latest three "Great Peace Symbols". |
