Qi Lin or Pi Xiu

[Rmagnus]

Hi I was planning to get them for my place but I have no idea will they clash?

1. The traditional advise is to avoid placing a (LARGE)Qi Lin in one's home. Qi Lin should only be used or displayed in a temple.

2. In Singapore, in the past, a few Chinese associations placedlarge figurines of the Qi Lin outside their association building. This led to lots of conflicts and quarrels amongst members.

3. In a home, avoid placing such figurines as it will also lead to conflicts and quarrels amongst family members. If one really wants to place qi lin or a pair of qi lin, they must be very small sized e.g. not more than 2 inches in height and width. For conception, some place it at one's balcony facing outwards - in the hope of conceiving a child.

4. The Pi Xiu in the past was found on the stone pillars of Chinese tombs and also found on the roof of ancient Chinese buildings. Nowadays, it is common to find those who "belief" in it to place facing their main door. And many were told to "boxed" it up so that no one else e.g. outsiders can touch it. For such believers, some place their lottery ticket held by the legs of the Pi Xiu.

5. Some people, buy these objects as a form of "comforter" or "feel good" factor. It has more to do with psychology. Many rich people never even heard of these items. Perhaps, it is like the "lottery". Many "poorer" people buy such objects in the hope of ........

Is the Qi Lin also known as the Chi Lin?

[Cecil Lee]

1. Yes, the authentic Chinese "pin yin" (romanized character) should be Qi. While the dialect or non-authentic version is Chi.

2. Chinese characters are all consolidated in Mandarin.

3. In Singapore, when I started my primary schooling, more than 40 years back:-

My Primary One and Primary Two Mandarin lessons were in the "Big Five" or "traditional Mandarin" characters.

While in Primary Three, had to learn both this "Big Five" and "Pin Yin" or the romanized verson which is simply "English character" Mandarin and also had to learn the "simplied Mandarin" characters.

4. Thus, officially, if you go to China and use the pin yin "Chi", most may not understand what you say. But in actual "Pin Yin" it should be "Qi" (Chi).

5. Similarly, some say Gua (correct Pin Yin) while Kua is the "dialect" form. Andalso things like BaGua (correct Pin Yin) while Pakua more of a "Hokkien" dialect.

6. If one were to study in Singapore during my time, you have to be multi lingual!

As often, we (students) at that time had to:-

6.1 At home usually most speak family dialect and maybe mandarin or English
6.2 In School, we had to learn: Mandarin ( Big Five - long form; Pin Yin - romanized mandarin and simplified mandarin)

6.3 And in Singapore, it was compulsory to learn basic Malay at my time.

So, imagine, we also have to understand and many Chinese shows are in the Cantonese dialect (produced in Hong Kong).

Many Singaporeans, end up conversant with at least 5 or more types of "languages".

These two Qi Lins are mighty huge ones!
Seldom have I seen such huge ones on-top of a home's pillar(s).
Usually, large ones are often placed at ground level between a main entrance door...

From Day 1, we share your concern
We will never sell you any products!

Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store in disguise
Beware: Even those who claim to have a Feng Shui Lineage are equally guilty of this

 

IN SUMMARY

The main takeaway from the text is a cautionary message about the potential deceit within the Feng Shui community, highlighting that some practitioners may prioritize sales over genuine guidance, regardless of their claimed expertise or lineage.

Ask: "Must I buy from you?"

Many Feng Shui Masters are themselves a Feng Shui Store

Ask: "Must I buy from YOU?"

[Cecil Lee]

Fake Feng Shui Master = Sell, sell and sell products

"Their way or the highway?"

When the buying Stops, the selling Can!

[Cecil Lee]

One additional compelling reason to refrain from purchasing commercial Feng Shui products is their questionable authenticity.

"IT'S BULL-SHIT!"

BLACK SECT MASTER LIN YUN BREAKS HIS OWN HALO BY SAYING, “YOU’RE BETTER OFF BELIEVING YOURSELF INSTEAD OF BELIEVING ME.”

He Admits That 99.9% Of His Predictions Have Been Wrong.

July 7, 1997, Taipei, Taiwan.   As this country continues to reel from back-to-back scandals involving its political leaders and their spiritual advisors, the guru of the so-called Black Sect, Master Lin Yun, surrounded by his students and followers in the Presidential Suite of the Hyatt, Taipei, admits in a shocking interview of self-denouncement, “The best advice I can offer is to tell you that you are better off believing yourself instead of believing me. I am a wandering impostor whose predictions have been 99.9% wrong.”
He cited his 1994 prediction that Li Deng Qui would not be renominated to the presidency of Taiwan (not only was he renominated, he was reelected). He sheepishly shrugged, “My record of successes is very poor.”

“People call me the Grand Master when, in fact, I am the Grand Disappointment.”
Born in Beijing, and raised in Taijung, Lin Yun studied and loosely based his Black Sect cult on Tibetan beliefs. He told of how he was ostracized in Taiwan for combining elements of Taoism, Feng Shui, Yin Yang, fortunetelling, psychology, medicine, color theory and construction into his own brand of Feng Shui. He lamented, “My biggest mistake in life was to study religion.”

He would not name names, but he did add that he has given Feng Shui advice to many highly placed officials in the Taiwanese government. Although his Black Sect beliefs have been widely rejected in Asia, Lin Yun has found a more receptive following in the West, where he has a temple each in California and New York.
 

When contacted for comment, Lin Yun’s church released a statement saying that “Westerners do not understand.” When it was pointed out that the statement did not seem to have a bearing on the situation — the article came from a Chinese paper and was transcribed by ethnic Chinese into English — church officials were confused. Finally, the church resorted to its standard explanation that Lin Yun was once again misquoted.
 

This “living Buddha” (Da Shi) of the Black Sect church has a long-standing history of being misquoted. He needs to hire experienced media and communications specialists (“spin doctors”), or take a course in effective communication himself — because the only people who seem to understand him to the church’s satisfaction are his sycophants.
