It was about 12 years ago when I started getting interested in feng shui and Chinese good luck symbols.
I had some health issue at that time and went to a hospital.
I had to wait for my turn for more than 2 hours, sitting at the hospital chairs with many other patients.
Every time I went there it was always like that.
The chairs and sofas were not enough for all the patients, and most of them were standing in the waiting room for their turn to come.
In the front door, there was a dragon head ship made of green color stone, ( I didn’t notice it was jade at that time ), an aquarium, and also on the reception counter there was a mythology creature figurine.
I also saw a Happy Buddha statue ( also called laughing Buddha ),
and also on the doctor’s desk, there was also another dragon figurine, and the female doctor was wearing a beautiful big jade stone ring on one of her fingers.
One of the reasons the doctor was so popular is she used natural herbal medicine which is good for the human body and also other alternative methods. The price was quite expensive compared with other hospitals.
But at that time I was more curious for her decorations which I had never seen except for Happy Buddha statue ( also known as Hotei in Japan).
Her jade ring looked almost like emerald, as a fashion ring but later I thought It might be for her protection and for good fortune.
And I was also wondering about the dragon head sailing ship which was displayed in the front door. It had impressive decoration.
Later , I found out that the symbol of a sailing ship is well known as to brings wealth from wind and water in China. Especially when it’s dragon head is made of lucky stone “ jade”, the power increases.
That hospital looked quite successful, always filled with so many patients even though higher fee.
Here are a few good luck Chinese symbols which are good for business and wealth.
1. Kuan Kung ( Guan gong ) - God of business
Kuan Kung is one of the most famous & popular Taoist deities and was a military leader who lived in China during the Three Kingdoms Period, in the third century A.D.
He was known as a God of war and later known as a God of business ( & wealth ). There are different kinds of version of Kuan Kung and for business success & protection, Kuan Kung wearing dragon image robe,
armour complete with banners and flags, having long sword, is the best to protect your business and increase your wealth.
The best place to display Kuan Kung is northwest area of your office or store.
Also displaying this image behind where you sit at work will get powerful support from important people.
