Cultural Context
The Dragon-Tiger-Seven-Star motif combines three pivotal Taoist symbols:
Dragons & Tigers: Represent the balance of yang (heavenly power) and yin (earthly strength), invoking guardian spirits for protection.
Seven Stars: Aligned with the Big Dipper (北斗，Bei Dou), a celestial symbol of guidance and authority in Taoist cosmology.
Thunderstruck Wood: Revered as a bridge between heaven and earth, its lightning-scarred texture is believed to carry the raw, purifying energy of thunder (雷法，Thunder Magic).
This sword embodies the Taoist principle of Dao Follows Nature (道法自然), harmonizing natural materials with spiritual symbolism to create a tool of both practical and metaphysical significance.
