Fulu

Fulu is a traditional system of writing used in China a long time ago. It was similar to the system we use today called "alphabet." Instead of letters, Fulu used symbols and characters to represent words and ideas. Think of it like a secret code that only a few people could understand.

The characters used in Fulu were usually inscribed on items like talismans and charms. People believed that wearing or carrying these objects would bring good luck or protect them from evil spirits.

Fulu was also used in Taoism, a Chinese religion that focuses on living in harmony with nature. Taoists believed that certain symbols in Fulu had special powers that could help them achieve a peaceful state of mind and body.

Today, Fulu is not commonly used in China anymore, and most people use the modern Chinese writing system. However, some practitioners of Taoism still use it for spiritual purposes.
