- Description:
The nose button has a thick print, with four words in white on the printed surface, “Huang Shen Yue Zhang”, which is boundless; Taoist priests in the Han and Jin Dynasties wore this seal when they wanted to pass through the Earth God. If they took this seal into the mountains and forests, they could not be afraid of tigers and wolves. If there were evil gods in the mountains and rivers, they could print seals to cut off their roads, and they would no longer be able to worship (see Bao Puzi – Internal Part).
