Cinnabar Wulailing has unique significance in traditional Taoist culture and other fields.

描述

From the perspective of religious symbols, five thunder is often regarded as a symbol with powerful spiritual power. Five thunder represents heaven thunder, mines, naval mines, God thunder, and social thunder, which contains the punishment and deterrent force from heaven. Cinnabar painting adds its mysterious and solemn sense, implying that the power of five thunder can be used to drive away evil spirits, suppress demons, and guard one side’s peace. As if to proclaim the inviolability of the right path to evil.

At the level of folk culture, it carries people’s expectations for a smooth life and away from disasters. Many people will put their related objects at home or wear them, hoping to obtain the protection of the afterlife, so that life can avoid those bad influences, such as disease, bad luck, etc., and become a kind of spiritual sustentation, highlighting people’s desire to use traditional beliefs and cultural elements to support life.

However, it is more of a moral expression based on culture and belief, and we should also hold a scientific and rational attitude to look at these meanings it carries.
