1. Lineage Context: The "Liu Min" Style (流民法脈)
The Flower Characters (花字 - Hua Zi) are a signature feature of the "Thirty-Three Heavens Liu Min Liuren Iron Plate Righteous Method" (三十三天流民六壬鐵板正法教). The term "Liu Min" (Itinerant/Common People) reflects the tradition's adaptability and focus on practical, portable magic for common people.
- No Brush Needed: Unlike orthodox Daoism which often requires elaborate setups, Flower Characters are written in the air, on water, or on the body using the Sword-Finger (劍指) .
- Immediate Efficacy: Suited for emergency situations—protection, healing, or defense—where traditional ritual preparation is impossible.
- Stealth: Can be deployed discreetly in public spaces without drawing unwanted attention.
2. Ba Wu Jin Ji (百無禁忌 - Hundred No Taboos)
Flower Characters operate on the principle of Ba Wu Jin Ji . While other sects require strict diets and purification rites, the power of a Liuren Flower Character is absolute and functions regardless of environment.
| Environment | Status in Orthodox Sects | Status in Liuren (Flower Characters) |
|---|
| Slaughterhouse | Impure (Polluted) | Functional - Protection remains unshakeable. |
| Funeral Ground | Taboo (Avoid) | Functional - Used for clearing Qi-Sha. |
| Urban Commute | Secular (No Power) | Functional - Portable spiritual technology. |
3. Technical Execution (指法與氣)
The efficacy of a Flower Character depends on three synchronized elements:
- The Stroke (符體): The cursive, shorthand pattern of the specific character.
- The Gall (符膽): The internal "energy core" placed at the center of the character through visualization.
- The Breath (氣): The Dajiao level breathwork that "launches" the character into its target.
Fengshen (封身)
During your initiation, the Master "Seals" your body (Fengshen) using specific Flower Characters. This imprints the protection of the ancestors directly into your skin and bone, turning your physical form into a living talisman.
