Taoist talismans, or fu (符), are believed to possess various types of spiritual power, each serving specific purposes. These powers are thought to be derived from the divine energy channeled by Taoist priests during the creation and activation of the talismans.

Taoist talismans are versatile tools with a wide range of powers, each tailored to address specific needs and desires. Whether for protection, healing, blessings, or spiritual growth, these talismans are believed to harness divine energy to bring about positive changes in the lives of those who use them. The effectiveness of a talisman depends on the skill of the priest who creates it, the sincerity of the user, and the proper performance of accompanying rituals.
