In Feng Shui, Chinese coins are revered as potent symbols of wealth, good fortune, and protection . They are often replicas of ancient Chinese currency, notably those from the Qing dynasty.
Here’s a breakdown of their meaning and significance:
- Heaven and Earth: The most distinctive feature of these coins is their round shape with a square hole in the center. The roundness symbolizes heaven, while the square hole represents the earth. This design embodies the harmony between the spiritual and material realms, and the balance of the universe.
- Yin and Yang: Each coin has two sides – a Yang side with four Chinese characters, representing the Emperor’s reign, and a Yin side with two characters. This signifies the balance of energies, [according to Unique Feng Shui].
- Qi and Prosperity: These coins are believed to attract positive energy (Qi) and enhance prosperity.
- Attracting Wealth: Feng Shui practitioners often place these coins strategically in their homes or businesses to attract financial abundance. Common placements include near the front door to welcome prosperity, under the bed for personal wealth, or near financial documents to enhance business success. They can also be placed inside wallets or purses.
- Protection: Besides attracting wealth, Feng Shui coins are believed to offer protection against negative energy and adversity. Some practitioners hang them from their front door to block negative Qi.
- Harmony and Balance: The coins, particularly when strung together, are also associated with promoting a balanced and harmonious life.
- Strengthening Feng Shui Remedies: Coins can be incorporated into other Feng Shui practices, such as being placed in wealth vases or used to counter negative effects of structural features like hanging beams.
- Three Coins: Often tied together with a red ribbon, symbolizing the trinity of luck – heaven, earth, and mankind, or the “Tien-di-Ren”.
- Five Coins: Represent the five Feng Shui elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) for a balanced life, and invoke the five “Emperors of the Universe” for protection.
- Six Coins: Help in developing networking skills and gaining support from influential people.
- Eight Coins: Attract wealth from all eight cardinal directions.
- Nine Coins: Induce prosperity and symbolize the unity of heaven and earth.
Note: It’s crucial to remember that Feng Shui practice emphasizes intention. The effectiveness of these coins is often attributed to the belief and intention of the user.
