Lacquerware has been made in Chinese history since 200 B.C. by using lacquer harvested from the sap of a Lacquer tree native to Southern China. It takes up months for a piece of Cinnabar lacquerware to be completed because many coats of lacquer are required to create the desired thickness that can be carved and each layer must dry before the next layer can be applied. Because of the tedious process, Cinnabar lacquer wares would fetch a higher price. Cinnabar is usually used as the coloring pigment because of its durability and beautiful vivid red to orange color – a favorite color of the Chinese. Cinnabar also has significance in Taoist culture and was regarded as the color of life and eternity.
The Dragon is one of the four celestial animals and is a very important and powerful symbol in Feng Shui. The Dragon represents the ultimate ‘Yang’ symbol, male vigor, courage, and bravery. It is magnanimous and full of vitality and strength. Affiliated with the cardinal direction “East” based on Landscape Feng Shui, the Dragon becomes a very powerful and potent symbol when placed in the East sector although it can be placed in any other direction.
The Dragon is said to create the precious cosmic Chi or known as the ‘Sheng Chi’ which brings good fortunes into our homes and workplaces, making it an all-rounder bringer of good luck. The Dragons are a powerful cure and enhancer for business luck, bring foresight and wisdom for the elderly, bring honor to the family, protect the wearer, and paves the way for more accolades in coming years.
The twin dragon is said to double the good fortune and luck in all areas. In Taoist feng shui, it is said that the “doubling” of a good concept would double the effect of luck, such as doubling the magnitude of wealth, happiness, and success. Twin dragons signify growth potential, especially auspicious to generate career enhancement, promotional luck, and multiplication in business opportunities, doubling of wealth resources, and doubling of good fortune for the family. The twin dragon is especially for those who are seeking growth and triumph over competitors in businesses, sales, and wealth multiplication. In ancient times, the twin dragon seal was also known as the emperor’s seal because only the emperor was selfishly allowed to use this auspicious symbol of the most powerful authority.
Dragons reputedly have absolute power and symbolize honor, power, and all that is right. They enhance fame and career prospects and should be placed near a door or window in order to guard your wealth and health.
This auspicious item makes a beautiful display and will sure to attract the attention of visitors and friends. Ideal for those who seek good fortune Feng Shui products with style and class.
