Taoist Ritual Tools & Initiation Ceremony Kit – Daoist Transmission (Chuandu) Ceremony Four-Core Ritual Set

The “Four Essential Ritual Implements” (传度四件套) in Daoist Chuandu (传度) ceremonies—particularly in the Zhengyi (正一派) tradition—are sacred tools bestowed upon initiates, symbolizing their authority to perform rituals, exorcise evil, and communicate with celestial forces. Below is an authoritative introduction to these four key items:

1. 打鬼棒 (Dǎguǐ Bàng) – “Demon-Subduing Rod” (or “Exorcism Stick”)

  • Function: Used to expel malevolent spirits, interrogate ghosts, and enforce cosmic justice during rituals.

  • Design: Traditionally made of peach wood (believed to repel evil) or lightning-struck jujube wood (enhanced with thunder’s power). It is engraved with invocations to Marshal Zhu (朱元帅) and Marshal Meng (孟元帅)—two Thunder Department deities responsible for punishing evil spirits.

  • Ritual Use: Wielded during exorcisms, ghost-summoning rites, and protective rituals. A “Demon-Subduing Chant” (拷鬼咒) is often recited alongside its use.

2. 天蓬尺 (Tiānpéng Chǐ) – “Marshal Tianpeng’s Ruler”

  • Function: A powerful exorcism tool invoking Marshal Tianpeng (天蓬元帅), a fierce Daoist guardian deity.

  • Design: A four-sided wooden ruler carved with constellations (28 Lunar Mansions), solar/lunar symbols, and divine incantations.

  • Ritual Use: Measures and “cuts off” evil influences in ritual spaces, used in purification, banishing demons, and sealing altars.

3. 天皇号令 (Tiānhuáng Hàolìng) – “Imperial Decree Token” (or “Thunder Command Token”)

  • Function: A Daoist “summoning order” to command deities, thunder generals, and celestial armies.

  • Design: Made of jujube wood struck by lightning (雷劈枣木). It bears inscriptions like “Five Thunder Command” (五雷号令) on the front and “Summoning All Spirits” (总召万灵) on the back, flanked by the 28 Constellations.

  • Ritual Use: Struck on the altar to dispatch divine forces, activate talismans, or initiate thunder rituals.

4. 六面印 (Liùmiàn Yìn) – “Six-Sided Seal”

  • Function: A multi-faceted ritual seal used to authenticate Daoist documents, talismans, and celestial petitions.

  • Design: Typically made of wood or bronze, with each side engraved with different divine titles or celestial mandates (e.g., “Three Treasures Seal” – 道经师宝印).

  • Ritual Use: Stamped on talismans, memorials to the gods, and ordination certificates to validate their spiritual authority.
