Dragon
When considering Feng Shui talismans, special attention should be paid to the Dragon as one of the most revered images of the Chinese teachings. It is believed that this mythological animal with its breath gives birth to life-giving streams of energy Qi, filling the human dwelling with it.
As a talisman Dragon not only has a positive effect on human health and well-being, but can also change his fate for the better.

- You should not put a statue of large size: it will bring imbalance to the overall energy of the room.
- While being in the living room, the dragon becomes a real amulet for all family members, protecting them from illness and bad luck.

- Do not place the amulet in the bedroom and bathroom, where its energy will interfere with rest and will contribute to the outflow of funds.
- Dragon figurine can be made of any material: plaster, ceramic, metal, glass, paper, fabric, wood.
- Color dragon in feng shui is important. It can be either green or blue.
- Chinese Dragon should have horns, wings, scales and sharp spikes on his back.
- Better if in the paws of the dragon will clutch a pearl. It symbolizes the Sun, wealth and helps to fulfill wishes.
- As a talisman you can also have a live lizard in a fishbowl, which is a distant relative of the revered Dragon in China.
Horses
Horses help to advance in your career and to catch luck by the tail.
According to feng shui teachings, the figures of these majestic animals should be placed in the sector of fame and career. Also, various pictures of horses were very popular.
The unicorn, which the Chinese call the dragon-horse and attribute to it all the qualities of its fire-breathing friend, is very popular.
Love and family welfare
A great amulet
In the doctrine of feng shui, there is a huge number of symbols responsible for the love sphere. Some of them are widely known, others are known only to those who like to read the relevant literature. Let us take a look at some of the most popular symbols.
Sakura .
One of the most famous symbols of love, tenderness, family happiness and beauty of life according to Feng Shui is the sakura. The ideal place to place the amulet is the marital bedroom.
A beautiful artificial sakura tree or a painting with its image will add beauty to the couple's relationship and become a talisman of happiness and love.
The hedgehog
The hedgehog is a symbol of wisdom, friendliness, joy and security.
It will be the perfect talisman for all family members, attracting happiness and good luck in the house. You can place the figurine of the hedgehog in the living room or hallway. It is better to have in the house not one but several figurines of hedgehogs, because one animal can get bored, and its friendly character will be spoiled.
Turtle
Feng Shui symbolism is rich in unusual talismans, one of which is a turtle with the head of a dragon. This animal symbiosis embodies the majesty of the dragon and the wisdom of the tortoise.
A turtle with a dragon's head is an excellent talisman for all family members, warding off bad luck and difficulties in life. It will keep the family from quarrels, anger and resentment.
Peacock
The peacock is one of the most powerful talismans in Feng Shui. It is placed in the house to attract happiness and family prosperity. The eyes on the gorgeous tail of the peacock are a symbol of wisdom and prudence.
Dolphin
In the science of feng shui, the dolphin is considered the patron of the family.
Its crystal figurine, placed in the hallway opposite the front door, will be an excellent protection against the evil eye and evil people. In the bedroom of a married couple is suitable a statuette with the image of a pair of dolphins, which will bring love and harmony to their relationship. The same meaning is also true for a pair of swans, which are a well-known symbol of love and fidelity.
Poppies
Poppies are a symbol of love and understanding.
For a married couple these beautiful flowers will be a talisman, protecting their relationship, and a single person will help to find love. In any case, the most optimal way to use the talisman is to draw or live flowers, but never dried.
Tiger
One of the most significant talismans is the white tiger. The predator is considered the protector of the home. It is also attributed the ability to bring wealth, good luck and even to promote conception.
The figurine of the Tiger, placed at the front door, will protect the home from uninvited guests, and the statuette on the desk in the office will promote career advancement.
There are also some restrictions on the use of this symbol. Charm Tiger should not be used by people born in the year of the Rooster, Rabbit or boar in the Eastern horoscope, no matter what zodiac sign they are.
Meaning of tattoos for girls
Girls who choose such a tattoo, have a mild malleable character, do not like conflicts and strive for a peaceful existence. The giraffe represents care and patience in the upbringing of children. The owners of such a tattoo are calm and balanced individuals. It is difficult to take them out of themselves and make them nervous.
The giraffe for a girl means the ability to anticipate the situation. Women with such a body image have a well-developed intuition and feel the approaching danger. They can react in time to the situation and save themselves and their loved ones. Also the giraffe for a girl is a symbol of beauty, purity and chastity.
Fossil evidence.
If the neck of the giraffe has lengthened over long periods of time, this must be confirmed by the fossil record. We should find many transitional forms with gradually lengthening necks. But the fossil record does not show this. We find fossil quadrupeds with short necks, including today's okapi, which have features in common with giraffes. But when we find fossil remains of members of the genus Giraffes
, we do not see any transitional forms with short and long necks, let alone their progression.
In other words, the fossil record shows that the giraffe has always had a long neck.
In addition, in Laetoli, Tanzania, distinct giraffe footprints were found near human footprints. On the evolutionary timeline, these footprints date back about 5 million years. The shape and depth of the footprints found indicate that these ancient giraffes were virtually identical to giraffes living today in height, body weight and stride length.

The gerenuk (or giraffe gazelle) is a long-necked antelope that feeds exclusively on young tree shoots. This peculiarity of its structure may well be a manifestation of the changeability of neck length within the originally created "gazelle genus. But this species does not have long legs and other special structures of the giraffe - these features simply were not part of the genetic "recipe" of this species. In order to reach the vegetation in the trees, the giraffe simply stands on its hind limbs. The giraffe is much more than a "long-necked antelope."
Individual talismans
