QI-LIN 麒麟


In Cantonese, it is called Kei Lun 麒麟 and in Mandarin, Qi-Lin. This is actually a mythical Chinese creature which is likened to the western unicorn. The Qi-Lin is described as possessing the head of a dragon, the body of a deer, the hooves of a horse, scales of a fish and long elegant horns (from one to three) and a tail consisting of little curls. These creatures symbolise purity, innocence, truth and justice, and if you are able to see one then it is regarded as super duper auspicious. It is considered to be a powerful feng shui symbol of good omen, protection, prosperity, success and longevity. When you display the Qi Lin near your entrance door , it will annihilate all the negativite energy or shar qi coming from outside and protect your family. The Qi Lin also attracts wealth and promotion opportunities when it is displayed at the workplace.
Furthermore, the Qi- Lin's presence is said to attract the powerful cosmic breath of the dragon, which promises good omens, wealth, success, longevity, wisdom, compassion and distinguished children. The Chinese believe that if you happen to see this magnificent creature and look into its eyes then you will be blessed with happiness and good fortune.
Here is how you can use Qi-Lins to feng shui your way to a better life:
  1. To boost your success luck in the work area, display a pair of Guardian Qi-Lin in the South or on your work desk, in your home or office. Do not place the Q- Lin facing towards you. Displaying the Guardian Chi Lin With Child And Ball at the workplace represents good fortune in promotions for those wanting advancements in their career. It is especially potent for those in the military, civil service or in politics.
  2. Place a pair of Guardian Qi-Lin at the front door facing outwards. The Qi-Lin is the sentinel that neutralizes any harmful elements and wards off people with bad intention from entering the home. It will bring blessing to your home or your office. Qi-Lin can also symbolize lots of offspring for your family. Try getting the Qi-Lin with child and ball for this.
  3. In Flying Star Feng Shui, the Qi-Lin(being the metal element), is used to ward-off the evil influences of the #5 yellow star and #2 black star. The #2 black star is also known as the "Sickness Star" which brings illnesses and ailments to occupants while the #5 yellow star is the ‘Disaster Star’ that instigates fights, accidents and disputes. Placing the Guardian Qi-Lin in the affected sectors will dilute these adverse energies.
