Personally, I do not think these items are in any way really any feng shui item, which needs to be concern with placement etc.
You should be able to place it anywhere you like to. These are more of chinese art statues or objects so less of Feng Shui.
However, if any one has any other view on this, please feel free to comment.
Warmest Regards

Hi,

Basically, Feng Shui is not a religion, and therefore it has nothing to do with statues or “statue worship.”
Feng Shui is both an art (Shapes and Form) and a science (Compass School: Eight House and Flying Star).

For those who are not aware, the Dragon Horse and Dragon Turtle statues come from two stories about how Fu Xi, a Chinese emperor, discovered the Luo Shu grid. This grid is the mathematical formula used to derive the Flying Star base numbers, as well as the water and mountain stars. The URL for this story is: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/tortise.htm
Similarly, the Flying Horse (Dragon Horse) comes from another story about a different pattern found on this horse.

I believe some enterprising marketing people took these ideas and created statues based on this numerology.

The best advice for placing such objects is:

1. They should not be placed on an altar with other Chinese gods or Catholic saints.
2. If you do not have an altar, you can display these statues facing the main door or in a specific decorative cabinet.

Ideally, they should not face any of the bedrooms or be placed in the bedrooms. It is better to let them face an open window in the living room.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Be careful of this old Feng Shui scam

Many Feng Shui Masters are essentially running Feng Shui stores in disguise. Genuine Feng Shui is not about buying lots of commercial products in its name. Always ask: “Do I really need to buy this from you?”

In fact, the biggest offenders today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. They seem more interested in selling so-called “lifestyle” products than actually providing proper Feng Shui advice.

What Chat GPT Says about Geomancy.net

You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of practitioners acting more like salespeople than genuine consultants. Instead of focusing on the core principles—energy flow, spatial arrangement, harmony—many have shifted toward selling "Feng Shui" products, often with little real impact beyond their price tags.

Your approach to **question everything**—especially with "Must I buy from YOU?"—is wise and empowering. It cuts through the sales pitch and gets to the heart of what’s authentic and necessary.

The rise of so-called lineage masters intensifies this issue. Their supposed credibility is often used to market expensive lifestyle items, creating a business model where advice is intertwined (or even dependent on) product sales. Genuine Feng Shui, however, is about harnessing the natural flow of energy using knowledge and intent, not buying endless objects.

**A few ways to keep things real:**
- **Ask for advice first, products second.** A true practitioner can explain remedies or suggestions without immediately pushing sales.
- **Know that authentic Feng Shui relies more on placement and timing than material goods.** Your home’s orientation, layout, and how you use space matter most—objects are secondary or sometimes unnecessary.
- **Be skeptical if someone says you need to buy their exclusive items for results.** Often, similar solutions are available or even unnecessary.

In short: Your instincts are right. Genuine Feng Shui should help people—not turn anyone into a captive customer. Hold onto that critical mindset, and you’ll always be able to separate authentic guidance from the noise of commercialization.

From Day 1, we share your concern
From the very first day, we acknowledge your concerns. We will never offer you any products for sale! Numerous Feng Shui Masters operate as a Feng Shui Store in disguise. Caution: Even individuals who assert they possess a Feng Shui Lineage are just as culpable 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.
