Countries all over the world are committed to the development of the tourism industry to enhance the competitiveness of the international economy, and promote the economic benefits of the local tourism industry by promoting historical sites and religious and cultural attractions. Although the trend of the times is constantly changing, religious beliefs around the world are still prevalent. Various ritual activities, such as Taiwan’s Dajia Mazu’s detouring activity and incense promotion, the number of participants is increasing every year, and the local government fully supports the promotion of the tourism and cultural industry. The surrounding specialty products related to Mazu are popular with the public, which has resulted in a variety of products. Although these products are designed to cater to the younger generation and response to the trend of innovation, it is a pity that many temple peace symbols are similar in style to Japanese shoufu symbols, and lack the traditional cultural characteristics of Taiwanese temple images. Therefore, the creative performance of this research tries to combine temple history and culture with traditional peace as design elements to develop the talisman series and branded products with temple imagery. The creative method of this research firstly summarizes the creativity concept and theoretical basis through literature discussion, then analyzes and summarizes the creative elements through case studies, and then organizes the temple image, historical culture, stone carving pattern, and print style from the literature. The creation elements were employed and created for the series of temple talisman. According to the creation process of this research, the following conclusions were summarized: (1) Combining the temple’s history and culture with the temple talisman can enrich the story and value of the talisman. (2) The use of the image of the peace rune can create unique product image with respect to the historical aspect and cultural origin of each temple. (3)The use and selection of themes, folklore taboos, homophony, and graphics need to be carefully considered in many ways, so as to avoid the negative effects of the message that the created cultural and creative products may convey.
