Introduction to token

Token is a common instrument in Taoist ritual vessels. The Taoist token originated from the tiger symbol used by the ancient army in China to give orders. There is a "token" in Tao Shu's "Help the Gods", and "Zhou Li" makes Zhang Ya arise. Under the upper ring of the bronze tiger symbol in the Han Dynasty, there is a five-tooth inscription, which looks like dew. Reciting the text is sitting on a tiger, and its side is engraved with a shape: like an ancient tooth, it is a tiger symbol. Proximity calls use tokens, and so does this method. There are five thunder tokens in the book "Qing Qing Lingbao Du Ji Jin Shu". There is a dragon blade carved on the front of the picture, and a thunderous rune cloud on the back: the right token, which was struck by lightning from jujube wood, is five inches long, two inches wide and five minutes thick. Choose an auspicious day, make it according to the formula, announce 28 names around and fill in the tips. During the ceremony, the mage will knock a token on the altar, give orders, ask for rain, summon gods, send generals, or come to the altar, or escort the dead, or exorcise evil spirits according to the names of ancestors. Since ancient times, the "token" has been one of the secrets and has been kept secret. It must be the exorcist, the recipient and the "token" in the current application. There is a technology called "OTP" in the network management, which uses this technology.
