度Size, wearing & display

Think about where the charm will hang and which way its design will face. A loop intended for a cord is not necessarily large enough for a clasp or a key ring; check the opening before choosing an attachment.

Plaques and charms can be carried in a pocket or pouch, hung from a cord, or set upright on a desk or altar shelf facing the room.

养Care

Keep wood away from soaking water, steam and long direct sun. Wipe with a soft dry cloth; if the surface looks dry, rub in a very small amount of natural oil.

The meaning of this piece · 寓意

Yin-Yang Lightning-Struck Wood Taoist Charm

Before the trigrams there was the Taiji, and before the Taiji, the Dao. Every Taoist emblem is a small map of that order: heaven above, earth below, and the changing forces that move between them.
