Fulu (simplified Chinese: 符箓; traditional Chinese: 符籙), is a term for Daoist incantations and magic symbols, written or painted as talisman or Lingfu (simplified Chinese: 灵符; traditional Chinese: 靈符). These charms and amulets are also not confined strictly to Daoism as they have been incorporated in to several forms of Chinese Buddhism, and have descendants such as the Ofuda of Japanese Buddhism and Shinto.

• Fu (Chinese: 符), or Shenfu (Chinese: 神符) are instructions to deities and spirits, symbols for exorcism, and medicinal potion recipes or charms to assist with ailments.
• Lu (Chinese: 籙) is a register of the membership of the priests, as well as the skills they are trained in.

Other names for Fulu in English include Daoist magic writing, magic script characters, magic figures, magic formulas, secret talismanic writing, and talismanic characters.
