Talismans of the Jade Terrace

Besides the Talisman for Expelling the Demons and the five talismans of the Jade Terrace, the commentary to the Nine Elixirs reproduces five other sets of talismans and seals and provides explanations on their materials, sizes, colors, and uses. Several of them also appear in Ge Hong s Inner Chapters, but both the illustrations and the accompanying texts contain variants, sometimes substantial, compared to Ge Hong s work.
