In Taoist culture, the Five Emperors Coins hold significant meaning.

**I. Warding off Evil Spirits and Suppressing Negative Influences**
Taoists believe these coins carry the majesty and upright qi of the five emperors. They can resist evil spirits and negative auras. The emperors represent different directions and five elements' forces. The combination forms a powerful aura to dissolve negative impacts from adverse feng shui patterns like road rushes, sharp corner negative influences, and reversed bow negative influences. Hanging the coins can protect residences.

**II. Harmonizing the Aura**
According to Taoist yin-yang and five elements theories, all things are composed of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which restrict and generate each other. The Five Emperors Coins correspond to different five elements' attributes. Shunzhi is water, Kangxi is wood, Yongzheng is earth, Qianlong is metal, and Jiaqing is fire. Reasonable use can adjust the five elements' aura in the environment for balance and harmony. For example, in an environment lacking metal, placing Qianlong copper coins can enhance metal energy. In a place with excessive fire, increasing Shunzhi copper coins can balance water and fire.

**III. Attracting Wealth and Bringing Blessings**
Taoism emphasizes conforming to nature and reasonable wealth acquisition. The coins are seen as having the effect of attracting wealth and good fortune. They represent the ruling periods of five prosperous emperors, symbolizing national prosperity and economic prosperity. In Taoist feng shui layouts, placing them in the wealth position or specific directions can attract wealth qi and promote wealth accumulation. They also imply being full of blessings and bringing good luck and happiness.

**IV. Enhancing Fortune**
Taoists focus on enhancing and adjusting personal fortune. Wearing the coins can draw on imperial qi to enhance personal aura and fortune. For those with poor fortune or facing challenges, they can change fortune, resolve negative influences, and boost confidence. In the cultivation process, they may serve as an auxiliary tool to help cultivators better connect with natural energy and improve the cultivation realm.

**V. Inheriting Culture**
As a carrier of historical culture, their use in Taoism reflects inheritance and respect for traditional culture. Through them, people can better understand Chinese ancient history, culture, and philosophical thoughts and feel the wisdom and power in Taoist culture. They also become a manifestation form combining Taoist culture and folk beliefs, enriching Chinese traditional culture.
