Taiji (Yin-Yang): This familiar symbol represents the interplay and balance of complementary forces in Chinese philosophy.
Lightning-Struck Jujube Wood: Known in Chinese folk tradition as leiji zaomu, jujube wood struck by lightning has been associated with protective talismans and spiritual significance. These meanings reflect traditional beliefs rather than scientifically established effects.
