Watch our exclusive interview with Celebrity Lim Yew Huat aka 花心尤发!!

 

Throughout my years of practicing Feng Shui and traveling around China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, I realized that Tian Lu (天禄) aka Pi Xiu (貔貅) is the most ideal auspicious celestial creature to be used to enhance our home and business because it has many functions that suit all our needs.

We have many different kinds of Feng Shui items in the market; however, after getting too many of such items to be placed in our house, it would surely look like a mini temple. My recommendation would be to place a Tian Lu (天禄) aka Pi Xiu (貔貅) in the Wealth Position within the living room of our house or office instead of using too many other items. Some Feng Shui items tend to clash with one another. If you do not know which is clashing with the other, it will cause unwanted problems rather than do us good.

Tian Lu (天禄) is one of the best Feng Shui items to be placed at home or office to enhance fortune, ward off evil, prevent catastrophes and guard the premises. It is also being carried on the body for personal protection and luck enhancement. Many experienced Feng Shui masters know the effectiveness of the Tian Lu (天禄) aka Pi Xiu (貔貅) and will highly recommend it to their clients.

Being a celestial being, the Tian Lu (天禄) aka Pi Xiu (貔貅) has to be “activated” (开光) in order for it to be effective. In the ancient days, it has to be brought to the temple and done by a high priest. You can also approach certain knowledgeable Feng Shui Masters to do the “activation” (开光) too.

An important point to note is that if you think that it will protect you or bring you good luck when you are doing things that can harm others, then you will be very much disappointed.

There is always a concern of placing a pair of Tian Lu (天禄) or just a single piece. In the olden days, there are a lot of versions and stories about Pi Xiu (貔貅), which is also known as Tian Lu (天禄) or Bi Xie (辟邪). Please take some time to read on in order to understand this powerful and mystical celestial being.

History of a Tian Lu (天禄) aka Pi Xiu (貔貅)

Tian Lu (天禄) aka Pi Xiu (貔貅) is one of the celestial beings besides the Dragon (龙), Phoenix (凤), Tortoise (龟) and Qilin (麒麟). According to ancient history, Tian Lu (天禄) aka Pi Xiu (貔貅) is the Ninth Son of the Dragon and it is an auspicious and powerful celestial creature that brings good fortune. The number “9” is the greatest number in Numerology and also the most powerful. Many countries such as China, Thailand, Tibet, Cambodia and India etc are using this number for its power.

It looks more or less like a Qilin (麒麟) but it is much stronger, stout, has a single long and thick horn, a lion dog like face, hoofs of a horse and wings on both sides of its body plus a big strong tail. This celestial being is a very fierce and powerful creature known to travel through the Heaven and Earth. It can ward off evil, enhance wealth and protect properties.

During the Warring States (三国演义), it was also used as a symbol to boost the loyalty, morale and fighting spirits of the soldiers. It is very loyal and obedient in nature that is known to protect its master with their lives. It has the main characteristics of a Lion and Dog, thus it has the Bravery of a Lion as well as the Loyalty of a Dog.

It is also said to have the power to assist anyone suffering from bad Feng Shui due to having offended the Grand Duke Jupiter/Tai Sui (太岁). Tian Lu (天禄) aka Pi Xiu (貔貅) is also known as the Emperor’s Treasure (帝宝) because it was used for guarding the fortunes of the emperors in the past. In the olden days, Pi Xiu (貔貅) was devoted as guardian of the fortune and placed in palaces (镇中土) and homes of high officials because of its ability to drive away evil and bring good luck.

Another myth was that the Tian Lu (天禄) has violated the Heavenly Rules and the Jade Emperor punished it by only allowing it to eat the valuables from all directions and never pass it out. Thus its stomach has become a fortune store and nothing will seep out without an anus. It is also known to be the same celestial being which is ridden by the Buddha of Hades (地藏王菩萨).

There has been quite a lot of confusion in the actual name of this mystical creature and whether to select One Piece or One Pair of Tian Lu (天禄) to be placed at home or the office. Let’s go through this section in greater detail so that we can clear the doubts. Tian Lu (天禄) aka Pi Xiu (貔貅) has different names depending on where it is being sighted and the country of origin.

When you go to China, it is commonly known as a Pi Xiu (貔貅), the Male is known as Pi (貔) while the Female is known as Xiu (貅). However, as generations passed down, there is no longer a difference of sex; instead, it was placed as a single Feng Shui display item. But most sellers of the Pi Xiu (貔貅) in China will still sell it to you as a pair, which is easier to convince a customer by saying that the male goes out to search for wealth and the female stays at home to guard the wealth. In business terms, it will be more profitable to sell a pair rather than one piece.

In Taiwan, the Male is known as a Tian Lu (天禄) and the Female is known as a Bi Xie (辟邪). Tian Lu (天禄) is meant for guarding the house of the living (阳宅) while the Bi Xie (辟邪) is used for guarding of tombs (阴宅). It was also said that many unorthodox “businessmen” would like to use the power of Bi Xie (辟邪) to aid them in their “businesses”. However, it is more advisable to place a Tian Lu (天禄) at home or in your office rather than using a Bi Xie (辟邪). So, we only buy the Tian Lu (天禄), which is One Piece and not a Pair.

Furthermore, having the characteristics of a Lion and Dog means that they are territorial animals and has an Alpha within the pack of Lions or Dogs. If you place a pair of Tian Lu (天禄) that are of the same size, they might fight for the Alpha Position, which will not be good for the home or business.

In this manner, can we place two pieces or more? The answer is yes, but they should not be of the same size if there is only two pieces, one of it should be larger than the other so that there is no need to fight for the Alpha Position. Some of my customers have many pieces at home, they have the biggest one which naturally will be the Alpha.

In Hong Kong, it is known as Bi Yao which lives in the heaven, Bi Xiu lives on earth and Bi Kan lives in the sea. However, all of them have equal power in bringing wealth and protecting their owners.

It comes in many designs and patterns, whatever it is, as long as you like the particular one at first sight, then it is your destiny to own it.

Tian Lu (天禄) comes in many forms and types. In the ancient days, bronze and jade are considered precious materials, thus there are some which are made from these materials, while other types of materials such as wood, stone or porcelain are also used.

Stories and Personal Encounters

I have a best friend whose wife is an air stewardess; she flies frequently and always exposed to danger. She has been carrying a small jade Tian Lu (天禄) aka Pi Xiu (貔貅) in her pocket since the day she got to know its function. Once after a flight went into the air pocket and caused some passengers to be injured, she realized that her Tian Lu (天禄) broke into 2 pieces. Well, my explanation to her was, at least you are still around to complain to me. Finally, she understood that it was the Tian Lu (天禄) that protected her from some unseen catastrophe.

My best friend’s Tian Lu (天禄) also cracked recently as he is working on a construction site. The nature of his job already spells the dangers involved. Till today, they are still my best friends and all they need to do was to replace their broken Tian Lu (天禄) and they will be safe and sound, living happily ever after.

My personal pocket size Tian Lu (天禄) also had hair line cracks all the way from the legs to the body and ending at the mouth. Although I never use it anymore, I used to bring it around in my bag to show my clients to tell them the power of a Tian Lu (天禄) in being your personal protector.
