ROMANCE ENHANCERS


In the Feng Shui world, mandarin ducks are considered symbols of romance. Yup!!! The male in particular is sought after for its colourful plumage.The mandarin duck mates for life, and legend has it that if it gets separated from its mate, it will keep longing for the other half and die of loneliness. It is this tale of strong love and fidelity that inspired the use of the images of these birds as Feng Shui enhancers that improve relationships and love.
You can place these figurines in the Nien Yin corner of your bedroom, house or even your office. If you are not sure which is your Nien Yin corner, then try placing them at the southwest position of the living room or the southwest direction of the bedroom beside the bed. You must remember that the male duck (Yuan) is on the left while the female (Yang) is on the right. the placements of these ducks in thebedroom would boost romance luck. In Chinese Mandarin Ducks are referred as Yuan-yang (鸳鸯). The Yuan-yang are regarded as a symbol of conjugal affection and fidelity.
A Chinese proverb for loving couples uses the Mandarin Duck as a metaphor: "Two mandarin ducks playing in water" (鸳鸯戏水). The Mandarin Duck symbol is also used in Chinese weddings, because in traditional Chinese lore they symbolize wedded bliss and fidelity. In reality, though, the ducks find new partners each year.
