Dear Everyone, 1. Ba Gua mirrors should be checked every six months to a year for `fading' damage e.g. cracks, peeling. Normally, it should be replaced each year (if it is directly under the weather without protection). Sometimes, it would last up to two years or more. 2. When and How to replace the old Ba Gua mirror? 2.1 Usually, it can be replaced any day. But if one wants to select an auspicious date to remove/replace a Ba Gua mirror is usually on the 1st day or 15th day of any Lunar Month. (With the EXCEPTION of the 7th MONTH.) 2.2 To throw away, the old Ba Gua mirror, you can wrap it up in a used newspaper and carefully throw it away in an external dustbin. 2.3 Some…

1. This category of Ba Gua mirrors have the Fu Dogs as protection. 2. Sometimes, the owners may not have Fu Dogs on both sides of their premises and they like to feel comfortable with Fu Dogs. 3. Notice that the Model E & F Ba Guas in the picture with Fu Dog in the centre of the Ba Gua " clench' or bite on to two swords. 3. It has to do with the real figurines where some of these Fu Dogs bite on a sword each. I have also taken pictures of figurines of statues of Fu Dogs with the sword in this attachment. Overall, this category of Ba Gua mirrors are is used more for "protection" e.g. against evil spirits RATHER than to deflect Sha Qi or poison arrows. It is preferred …

It is typical of many if not all Chinese restaurants to use red for their main entrance. This restaurant uses a " Fan " shaped signboard. In Mandarin the phonetic sound of a Fan is " shan " represents good. At the same time, many Chinese scholars or officials used to carry fans and even fans were frequently used by Chinese Immortals. Here, fan is considered an auspicious symbol as it is said to also help drive away evil.

This is quite common for light industrial business offices where the main wooden door opens outwards. In these three pictures, you will see that the owners have used a twin glass doors as added `protection'. As you can see the sky-blue coloured wooden doors open outwards. The owner used two keiloons to guard the entrance of the office. And there is another figurine to usher in good fortune. Warmest Regards, Cecil

In many of the pictures you will see that the flags are placed according to North, South, East and West. You can also see the romanised character of each of the Mandarin word for: North - Bei (or a good example is Beijing, the capital of China. Where `Bei' refers to North and thus one can now understand that Beijing is located in the `north'. South - is known as `nan'. East - as `dong' West - is `xi'. Apologies if the graphics is between 110k to 170k each. This is because, the finer details can be view extremely clear. Rather than less clear.

Dear Anon, Many thanks for pointing out the poll on the Fullerton Building. In my opinion: 1. Although the sloping roofs `accumulates' to a central point; if the frontage is not properly `protected' i.e. the frontage (is where it faces the sea); wealth in such a situation looks like it will drain off into the water. 2. For the tenants (housed under) on each side of the sloping roof; in Feng Shui, these shops would ultimately open and close. And most likely tenants would change. 3. Perhaps, the rent may then be reduced such that it becomes more or less office space at some of this premises. 4. However, I believe it would make a better choice for it to have a larger percent…

Dear Kaushal, 1. Firstly, as a clarification when u mentioned `nice feng shui object' usually all Chinese objects are not called feng shui object but rather.. should instead be called general Chinese objects or symbols:) 2. For the benefit of members in this forum, I have attached three pictures: 2.1 A picture similar to what you had mentioned - a boy with a large fish and coins. This picture signifies: Good Luck where the large fish is `spitting' out coins for good wealth. 2.2 Another picture of a boy. This time holding a large fish. This time the fish represents wealth i.e. Wealth and prosperity. The common Chinese saying " NIAN NIAN YOU YU " or translated as Every Yea…

This road side stall, sells Chinese calligraphy written on `papers'. In the past, it was very popular for houses to paste such calligraphy writings especially during the Lunar New Year. Depending on the size and amount of words, these `good luck calligraphy' sell for between US$2 to US$20 depending on the size and number of characters. This is indeed a dying occupation as nowadays it is much cheaper to buy it off the printers.
