Very interesting!"-Antique Rug Collection DRAGON AND PHOENIX - The Perfect Couple in Feng Shui Two of the most powerful of the four celestial animals are the dragon and phoenix. The dragon and phoenix are the perfect couple in Feng Shui. Dragon is "yang" while Phoenix is "yin", and they complement each other in creating yin-yang balance to harvest successful matrimonial bliss. This celestial couple is the symbol of everlasting love and they being together is the ultimate symbol of marital happiness. It symbolizes that the man and spouse will stay together through thick and thin, and that love and passion will last till the end. They ensure that a newlywed couple will be blessed with both patriach and matriach luck, outstanding achievement in life and great fortune and prosperity with many filial offsprings. The dragon is the basis of feng shui studies that controls the cosmic chi and forces on earth. The dragon will bring prosperity, good career luck and success in every area of life for mankind, while the phoenix will bring out the excellent side of the female. The Dragon when placed together with the Phoenix not only strengthens relationships. It can even relight the fires of a kindling relationship with the fiery energy of the Phoenix. The perfect symbol as well for the single female or bachelor looking to find true love. For the dragon The lotus blossom is one of the greatest traditional flowers in China, for it has grown from sludge but not been stained; its posture is delicate without being bewitching. The lotus is called nobleness of flowers from the perspective of its cultural meaning. The ancient Chinese revered the scared lotus as a symbol of purity and elegance, so they usually compared lotus to noble gentlemen. The moral of lotus originally came from India and lotus is a kind of very important decorating pattern of Buddhism art in India, with the core of sanctity. The lotus roots deep but unstained in the mud and blooms gorgeously which are favored by Chinese and reflected in many Chinese poems in ancient times. Besides, lotus is a common theme for traditional Chinese paintings. What’s more, lotus is useful in terms of being admired and practically used in daily life. Each part of lotus can be utilized. For example, lotus seeds can be eaten raw; lotus leaves are an indispensable element of “Steamed Chicken of Pork in Lotus Leaves”; and lotus seeds soup is good for our health. In Japanese Buddhism, the Manji is an ancient and important spiritual symbol. The Manji represents the harmonious interplay of the many opposites in life – – heaven and earth, day and night, etc. The horizontal line unites light and darkness, while the perpendicular line symbolically connects heaven and earth; and these two combined, form a cross representing the universe in harmony beyond the limits of time and space. From this harmony comes the power that creates and nurtures all things. The ‘trailing’ lines at the ends of the cross represent the truth that the universe and all things in it are in a perpetual state of flux.
