What the taoist bagua horoscope coin symbolizes?
This Taoist version of Bagua Horoscope Coin is inscribed with Taoist deities Chang Tao Ling (the founder of Taoism) and Lu Dong Pin (8-Immortals) to provide heavenly blessings and special powers. Chang Tao-Ling, the scion of a clan of Taoists and alchemists, developed religious Taoism partly in reaction to the rampant spread of non-indigenous Buddhism from India. He created a complex hierarchy of gods and goddesses, ritual libations and feast days which appealed to many rural villagers and farmers as a homegrown alternative to Buddhism. Chang Dao-Ling’s sect was called “The Way of the Celestial Masters”. Meanwhile, Lu Dong-Pin is one of the popular Eight Immortals, who uses a sword to overcome evil spirits and slice through bad energies caused by bad “chi”. He also holds the fly whisk which he uses to cure illnesses. He also blesses scholastic luck to the family.

Cranes also bring wisdom, solve all kinds of problems, dissolves hindrances/obstacles allowing upward progression and attainment of great heights with honor.
