Antique Feng Shui Chi Lin Qi Lin the Sacred Chinese Dragon Horse Statue in 100% Pure Brass

The Chi Lin is a mythical animal that symbolizes wisdom, prosperity, good luck, and longevity. In Asia, it is also known by other names, such as Kirin in Japan. The Chi Lin is also called the Dragon horse or the Chinese unicorn. The Chi Lin is found all over Asia, with slight variations but generally with the head of a dragon, one or two horns, deer or horse body, a tail of an ox, and the scales of a carp. Sometimes the body has fiery flames surrounding it. Although it embodies all of the five elements, the magical being is most often connected with fire. The Chi Lin is said to be virtuous, kind, and even a vegetarian! The sacred animal is light and swift, never even touching its hoofs down on the earth so as to not inadvertently kill an insect. The solitary Chi Lin is said to materialize as a positive omen when a great ruler or wise sage appears. The Chi Lin is also thought to carry with it the writings of great wisdoms. In both the East and West, the legendary unicorn is a symbol of grace, purification, and even the ability to cure poison. The Chi Lin is known as one of the eight Taoist symbols. In Asian cultures, symbols hold a lot of value, especially classic imagery like the Chi Lin. These emblems are weaved into the vast culture of the East. According to Feng Shui Chi Lin can bring overall career success and good fortune when placed on the desk or in an office space. A single Chi Lin works fine for this sort of application. Don’t forget to add some Chinese coins for even more wealth and abundance with your work. An image of a Chi Lin is a thoughtful gift for anyone who may be embarking on a new career or job.
