Chinese Luck Symbols And Objects

The Chinese have believed for centuries that one can draw luck to their lives by speaking lucky words or surrounding themselves with traditionally lucky objects or characters. These Chinese luck symbols are customarily placed in certain areas of the home or office to increase their luck enhancing abilities.

Fu is the Chinese word meaning luck. During the time of the Chinese's New Year celebrations the symbol Fu is hung on posters upside down to encourage luck for the coming year. This is the only time during the year a symbol is allowed to be intentionally placed upside down. Fu is just one of many luck symbols recognized all over China.

In Chinese folklore tales of dragons bringing fortune and good luck to homes and workplaces have long been told. Regarded as supreme over all other animals, their importance to China and its history is unmistakable in the shrines and temples erected throughout China in their honor.

Aligning the dragons natural power with water, the element they control, is believed to increase the luck a dragon will be able pass into your dwelling. China dragons are also a large part of many New Year's celebrations. It is a common tradition to see a dragon dancing down the street, bringing good luck to the coming year.

The tortoise is a symbol of prosperity and luck to many cultures. In China it's thought that all the mysteries of the world are encompassed in the tortoise's body and the patterns contained on its shell. The tortoise must always be placed in the North of a building whether it is inside or out, it matters not.

Another common symbol throughout Chinese tradition is the Qulin. A Qulin is supposed to help increase ones professional and fertility luck. This symbol is also known as the Chinese unicorn. This creature is believed to have the skull of a dragon, a deer's body, an ox's tail, horse's hooves and legs with the scales of a fish. Right in the middle of the creatures head is a horn, much like a unicorns.

Chinese people also believe plants to be lucky. The bamboo plant is one such plant, considered very lucky in China. It is one of four plants the Chinese recognize for their determination during cruel seasons experienced by China. This plant is referred to as one of the Four Noble Ones. In Chinese the word for bamboo is very similar to the word meaning prayer. This is one of the main reasons it's considered lucky to the Chinese. Many believe it will enhance their prayer energy to have bamboo present.
