In Taoism, the blessing of the statue of Master Zhang was a kind of Taoist blessing ceremony. Enchantment was to infuse the invisible true spirit of the universe with boundless magic power into the statue, so that the statue would have the spirituality of a god. The method of Taoist consecration of a statue of a god required a high-level master to choose an auspicious day to consecrate the statue. The ceremony included 12 kinds of ceremonies, such as cleansing, inviting the god, issuing an edict, issuing an order, seven stars, eight trigrams, entering the god, ordering the brush, ordering the mirror, ordering the chicken, consecration, and sending the hair. They respectfully invited the gods to gather the statue of the god and use its power to improve the luck of the worshiper. After that, they could settle down at home or in the temple for people to worship and protect peace. To worship Master Zhang, one usually needed to go through a ceremony to endow him with divine power. The ceremony was usually presided over by an experienced Taoist priest or mage. A series of prayers, incense burning, lighting, and sacrificial rituals were carried out during the ceremony to introduce the power of the gods and endow Master Zhang with divine energy. However, the specific details of this ritual might vary according to different traditions and beliefs.
