Bolyn123 - Apostata(waki) adds these inserts so he can remember what he was thinking. That way when he comes back it will remind him where he left off. His memory is amazing..I've seen him come back to stuff that's 5 or more years old and complete his assessment.
The large characters at the extreme right and extreme left are not Chinese but rather Daoist "magic writing". While Daoist priests would like for the meaning to be kept a secret, these particular magic writing characters can now be understood.
Regarding the very large character on the left, the upper half is "magic writing" for the Chinese character lei (?) which means "thunder" and refers to the "God of Thunder". The lower part is "magic writing" for the Chinese character ling (?) which means "to order".
The top portion of the very large character on the right, consisting of what looks like a three prong fork with three small circles underneath, is the magic writing equivalent to sha (?) which means "to kill". The part of the character below the three small circles is the Chinese character gui (?) which means "ghost" or "spirit".
The inscription of the two magic writing characters, read left to right, can thus be translated as the "God of Thunder orders the demons to be killed".
Each line of the Chinese inscription on the charm is written vertically top to bottom and right to left. For your convenience, the inscription is written below in the more conventional method with each line read from left to right:
?????? (lei zou sha gui jiang jing)
?????? (zhan yao chu xie yong bao)
?? ? (shen qing feng)
???????? (tai shang lao jun ji ji zhi ling)
The Chinese character inscription can be translated as follows:
"God of Thunder (Lei) clear out and kill the ghosts and send down purity.
Behead the demons, expel the evil and keep us eternally safe.
Let this command from Lao Zi (Tai Shang Lao Jun1)
Be executed quickly."
1 The title Tai Shang Lao Jun (? ???) was bestowed upon Lao Zi (??) by imperial command in 1013 AD.
Possible reverse The reverse side It appears to portray Liu Hai and the Three-Legged Toad. Research seems to confirm that this indeed is the theme being depicted. (Please visit my Liu Hai page dedicated to these charms if you have an interest.)
I still have some doubts, however.
The person looks like a young woman to me and Liu Hai is a male. Also, all the other Liu Hai charms that I have seen always show the toad as having three legs and the picture here only shows the upper torso.
Additionally, the Liu Hai story usually associates Liu Hai using gold coins on a string to catch the toad in a well. In the scene here, there are no coins shown and the waves and bamboo would seem to indicate it is a river or stream.
it is exactly but it is a good guess, this has to go up to a better export , because it is a deviation, they leave someting , and they deviate the borders
IMO it will run even as a fake
haven,t seen a link , too much ritalin and rivotril,it finally came , correction it is not exactly the same
need the reverse in case it is a bagua reverse
in this varition the reverse is probably bagua , but i am not Nostradamus
That's a lot of explanation for a little coin. Very interesting stuff Waki.
need the reverse in case it is bagua if it is accompagnied to an daisho home blessing, maybe we can relate to an guangxu charm , back need a tosti and the The Dead South - In Hell I'll Be In Good Company [Official Music Video]
