I think the different symbolism and different facets related to feng shui should be discussed

Dear cecil,
Recently I saw lot of questions regarding the symbolism were posted. I know they are not part of the feng shui. But in my opinion they should be discussed and clarified. Since there are so many books and the site which are selling it as feng shui. And it is misleading to the general public since it is a new subject and they do not know what is true and what is false. And you would be surprised to see what kind of books are popping up in the market. eg feng shui for cats and feng shui for dogs , Cooking with feng shui. Massage with feng shui and a 300 page about the placement of altar(keeping 5 elements in the bedroom) which is not a good idea since water in the bedroom is bad. Recently I saw in my neighborhood somebody had installed a cement Laughing Buddha on the ground outside their home near the road which became the favorite site of the 4 legged friend. I know it is bad feng shui to have bad smell etc near the main door which was not apparent to them since they read it in the book that one should install a cement Laughing Buddha for increasing wealth and the book did not explain how or where should it installed. For this reason I think the symbolism should be discussed so user can differentiate what is feng shui and what is belief and user who already bought symbols should be able to place it correctly since keeping beautiful things around the home is good feng shui. Would like hear your views on this. Thanks.

Dear Annon,
Sorry, for the late response.
I totally agree with what you have written.
For this reason, "in between messages", I am trying to post some symbols of significance to the Chinese.
I agree with you that we should discuss more of symbolism, since there are already alot of resources dedicated to clearing doubts on various Feng Shui issues.
Perhaps, you have correctly pointed out that this is the right time to discuss whenever we can symbolism.
Earlier, I decided not to discuss `symbolism' was because, there are still so many questions relating to how to effectively use proper Feng Shui or to differentiate those that works and those that are not Feng Shui.
My fear then was that if we do `mix' symbolism between messages, it becomes more confusing for users here.
I guess, many users already very matured in Feng Shui and able to differentiate the good and discard the bad. For those, that we are not sure, can give a try but look at them in a more cautious method.
We have come a stage where, everyone questions each and every `Feng Shui' practise. Do not just expect to be `told' but rather, look at issues on a broad and mature way.
I really like the way you mentioned about the favourite of the four legged friend:) This will constantly be in my mind also.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
