What helps the mascot?
Feng Shui says that the symbol of spiritual development, as well as good luck is the carp statue (it is the sacred fish "Tai"). I must say that this talisman has many functions. First of all, it brings good luck in life. But if you place it in the zone responsible for wealth (in the house it is southeast), you will open a cash flow.
Two carp statuettes mean a complete idyll in the relationship between man and woman. If you "lead" at home as many as nine carp, then you are guaranteed and luck, and prosperity, and wealth.
As you now know, carp is a symbol of not only good luck, but also steadfastness, strength, endurance, and purposefulness. Live carp achieves any goal, stubbornly overcoming the difficulties encountered on its way. That is why the talisman of carp is necessary first of all for those who aspire to learn to endure, be courageous, enduring and purposeful.
As the experts of feng shui say, ideally it is necessary to have houses of live carp. It is clear that in modern apartments this is not always feasible. In this case, you can buy a picture with carp, print out his photo or make a picture. In addition, you can replace the living carp with his statuette. Material choose the one that is more to your liking.
We activate the talisman.
To make the talisman work, it must be placed either in the water or not far from it. Ideally, put a small reservoir of water (for example, a decorative aquarium). It can be placed as a statuette, as well as a well-sealed photograph or a picture of a painted claw. By the way, this is far from the only variant of the placement of the mascot.
The carp talisman can be in the hands of the god Eibisu (attracts luck and happiness). If carp is adjacent to this talisman, he brings peace and harmony to the house. In addition, in feng shui is quite popular yet another talisman - the Taoist holy elder who sits on the carp. It is believed that the elder knew the secret of longevity. Carp, falling under the influence of the old man, personifies spiritual development, wisdom, the ability to tame the elements.
In the event that you are looking for a new job or simply want to increase your income, place the carp in the northern part of the house. Another unbeatable option of placement is in the sector corresponding to your Gua number. Do not forget that the head of the carp should be directed to the center of the house. Better yet, if the fish will consider your desktop.
Does your child have a difficult exam or writing a difficult thesis? Or maybe a very difficult session awaits you? In this case, take the carp place in the northeast block of the house. By the way, carp will be an excellent talisman in the office. Feng Shui specialists recommend it primarily to those whose business is inextricably linked with competition. Put the mascot in the north of the cabinet or on the desktop. It protects you from spiteful competitors.
To date, Feng Shui stores sell a lot of pendants, coins and bells with carp. If you decide to purchase one of these pendants, choose a fish of dark color (black or blue) or with a touch of metal. These pendants are suitable for both home and office.
The legend of carp.
One day the old man Qin-Gao, sitting on the shore of the lake, watched the floating fish. He wanted to be on the other side of the lake. Unfortunately, the lake was too wide to cross it. Then he asked all the lake fish to help him. Only the carp responded to the request. Then Qin-Gao sat down on the carp, and they sailed. This carp swam too slowly, but the wise old man understood that one can not make a claim to the one who agreed to help. They sailed to the other shore only a hundred years later. Over the years, everything in the world has changed.
Since Qin-Gao was curious, he decided to bypass the whole of China and get acquainted with the novelties. Having learned a lot of new things, the elder decided to share new knowledge with those who lived on his shore. He returned to the shore of the lake, again saddled the fish, and they set off into the past. The old man and the carp swam for another hundred years. The world has changed again. Qin-Gao again received new knowledge and swam to the other side. And again the crossing lasted a hundred years. By the way, the Chinese believe that the sage is still swimming across the lake. Thanks to this legend, the belief was born that carp can travel in time and acquaint people with the discoveries of the elder.
Feng shui and carp mascot.
It is believed that the feng shui talisman in the form of carp will be especially strong if it is painted with traditional Chinese painting, called guohua.
Guohua - this is a special painting ink or water-based paints. The technique allows you to draw both on paper and on silk. The most popular images are birds, flowers, water, mountains and, of course, carp.
In the technique of guohua special attention is paid to small details. Every smallest detail has its purpose. To draw in the style of guohua, you must stock up with sixteen different brushes. From the way the picture will be written, the choice of this or that brush depends. Moreover, the same brush can be held in different ways: easily, barely touching, or with strong pressure, completely upright or slightly inclined.
In general, guohua is a very ancient Chinese painting. Subsequently, European art has had a considerable influence on its development. It is thanks to him that Chinese artists have learned to use the play of shadows and light. All this led to the fact that art critics, considering one of the guohua style directions, compared it with impressionism.
So, if you decided to hang a picture of guohua at home, it will bring you not only an aesthetic pleasure from contemplating the beautiful, but will also become a harmonious addition to your mascot (carp). The picture will stimulate the activity of the mascot, which means that carp will bring more wealth and luck to your house.
