Dragons represent power in Eastern culture, embodying the noble and sacred in folk belief. The dragon deity is associated with kings, majesty and cannot be a common symbol, so everyone respects the dragon and is not easily touched. It is also because of this that the dragon deity is considered very sacred and noble, often displayed in palaces and shrines.
What is the feng shui significance of the dragon?
The dragon is a mythical creature that does not exist in the present, but it has long been a sacred creature in the consciousness of Vietnamese and Eastern people. The dragon is a symbol of the highest power among benevolent mythical creatures. The appearance of a dragon is the appearance of a supreme being.
Accordingly, the dragon brings in the power of the noble kings. In feng shui, the dragon has the effect of repelling evil, protecting the people, keeping away demons and villains.
In the ancient belief, the dragon is a celestial being, a god who can see clearly, with noble power that can eliminate evil. However, in ancient times, the dragon only appeared on clothing, cosmetics, in the royal family, and was forbidden in ordinary houses.
Nowadays, many people create feng shui dragon statues. In feng shui, there is also the Azure Dragon and White Tiger. The Azure Dragon on the left represents strong power that eliminates evil and impurity. The White Tiger on the right symbolizes the power of the two sides.
In feng shui, the dragon mascot brings luck and power, creating a smooth flow. The dragon represents a successful position and promotion. The dragon helps to resolve bad luck, bad omens that affect the lives of the homeowner.
The green dragon symbolizes the elimination of gossip-like villains, helping homeowners avoid false rumors and plots of bad people.
The dragon is also a symbol of love fortune for those who are still single.
Should you place a dragon statue inside the house?
Many households today may hang dragon mascots or paint dragons on walls and ceilings, or place dragon mascots inside the house. With its sacred nature and supreme power, placing the dragon in the right direction and in the right Feng Shui position is extremely important.
If you want to place a dragon mascot inside the house, it is usually placed in the main hall if the dragon statue is large, or in the living room, the workspace. The dragon mascot should be placed in a open position, showing the shape of the dragon being able to fly up, creating strong life force, helping the dragon mascot absorb life energy. If you have a balcony, a window facing a lot of water, and place a dragon there, it will bring prosperity. Or you can place the dragon in the north where there is “a lot of water,” but it must be clean water, because the dragon is a water-loving mascot and will absorb the best life force to bring good luck to the homeowner. If there is water in front but it is dirty water, it should be avoided because the dragon will absorb dirty water and cause sickness and pain.
Note to avoid major taboos when arranging dragon mascots inside the house
Determine the best direction: When the homeowner is compatible with a certain direction, it is advisable to turn the dragon in that direction to help the dragon absorb good energy
Or you can turn the dragon towards the direction of the good fate star of the year to increase positive energy.
The dragon statue should be placed in an open, unobstructed area. The head and eyes of the dragon should always face a place where it can oversee everything. Avoid placing the dragon mascot in a corner or against the wall.
Absolutely avoid placing too many dragon statues in the house (up to 5) to avoid conflicting energy fields inside the house.
The dragon is a very powerful energetic mascot, so do not place the dragon in the bedroom of the family.
When choosing the image of the dragon, pay attention to a gentle appearance, avoid strong and aggressive features. The dragon mascot on the table should be yellow because in the 12 Earthly Branches, the dragon belongs to Earth, so yellow is the most appropriate color. The dragon should be placed together with a water position in the house, such as above or to the right or left of a fish tank, which will be very suitable, increasing prosperity.
People born in the Year of the Dog are not compatible with the dragon mascot, so people of these ages should pay attention.
