The paper materials are all handcrafted by master artisans, carrying on a tradition of over a century.
Moreover, it must be handmade paper produced by master craftsmen with over 100 years of experience.
For different ritual purposes, the paper talismans themselves are made from various materials. Some are crafted from century-old bamboo pulp, others from tender bamboo pulp, while some primarily use plant roots and stems. Master artisans create them through hundreds of intricate processes, though some still incorporate artificial ingredients.
Lao Fo Ye —the paper used for drawing talismans—its thickness or thinness directly impacts the master's first stroke, the curvature of the brush. Our ink is also specially ground. Thus, at the same thickness, our meticulously selected aged paper holds more of this unique ink, transforming the secrets of the cosmos onto the Celestial Symbol Treasure.
Regardless of the material used, the crucial step is pulping, which requires particular care to remove impurities. We always inform the master craftsmen that our talisman-making demands exceptionally pure materials. Only then can the sacred power be maximized.
Each Tianfu Treasure's original paper is a unique vessel. Drawing talismans is the act of imprinting sacred seals onto earthly carriers.
This is the kind of talisman paper usable in both the mortal and spirit realms— Lao Fo Ye
