The role of real and mythological animals, is often called the theory of Feng Shui and folklore. In many books, there is a description of the ideal home that has a turtle behind, in front of him a file. Phoenix and a dragon and a tiger on both sides These four animals are a symbol of training grounds and building. For example, to have a turtle's back home for support or protection, is a metaphor for a larger or a literal mountain. To have a bird in the frontEducation is a symbol for a much smaller country.
It 'a concept that "About" (drafts) move a property and land prices are higher than the background (the turtle), protects the house, while a smaller area helps to form (bird), the house will receive the right amount of people. As the edge of a shell, the phoenix help shore up sooner or contain energy at the entrance of the house.
Then the tiger and the dragon are on each side of the house adjacent houses, buildings, or realHill. These modules serve as a means to protect the house. In general, a home that is not surrounded by other structures or land formations is a bit 'fragile and too exposed to the elements. Some people take this advice to the letter for the animals, and figures of these creatures to their home for luck and protection. At least a Master Feng Shui I have studied, showed the possibility that these animals represent the forms of someimportant constellations.
Another popular Feng Shui creature of the fish. Fish symbolize longevity in Chinese culture, paintings and sculptures of them are seen as happy. In application of Feng Shui, fish tanks and ponds are just an excuse to circulate the water. And 'the water that is the right remedy. But why Feng Shui come from a culture very superstitious, the number of fish and the color of the fish in the aquarium have exaggerated importance.

You can stone lions flanking the entrance stairs of a tall building or have seen, but would not be appropriate for a residence permit.
One of the signs of the zodiac in Chinese astrology is a tiger. Women who are the sign of the Tigers are considered extremely independent and must solve a difficult time with a man in February after a month of Tiger and auto insurance statistics auto accidents occur in the month of February. Thatin line with the interpretation of China, the tiger is also the fast-moving risk of accidents.
And 'interesting to note some of the cultural differences in our relationship with animals. For example, in Chinese astrology, a person born in the year of the Rat, can be a very intelligent man and a Snake person can easily be interested in metaphysics and spirituality. In the West it is thought the snake and how sneaky and underhanded. In some religions there is the belief that all peopleBeings have lived for at least one embodiment of each type of animal, and then we have an unconscious understanding of what these animals are capable in their personality and strengths.
Some birds are monogamous, like people, so there is a notion that putting pictures of the two lovebirds in the bedroom is the true love to win. These things can work as a placebo, but not as demanding of the Feng Shui remedies.

Whether it's the flag of a country, a hood ornament car, a brand or religious character, we attach great importance to many symbols that go unnoticed or unrecognized by other cultures.
Many people are surprised to learn that do not prescribe one of these animals as symbols of Feng Shui remedies. While I was a psychological relief that can provide you understand, I do not think that these symbols may change the composition of energy of a room. Esymbols at the end of a very personal (like our dreams), I can not see how they work for everyone equally.
