Raising turtles and Feng Shui

There are two ways to raise turtles. One is to raise them in a specific environment, such as in a fish tank or water basin. Another option is to let your turtle roam around your home. Turtles that move around everywhere are called "evil turtles" in Feng Shui. It turns out that the back of the turtle has tortoise patterns. There are three grids in the center of the turtle pattern, representing the three talents of heaven, earth and man. There are twenty-four grids next to them, representing the twenty-four mountains, and ten grids representing the ten heavenly stems. There are twelve grids at the bottom of the turtle shell, representing the twelve earthly branches. Miraculously, the layout of a turtle shell actually contains all the codes representing the mysteries of the universe, so the turtle is called one of the four spirits. In ancient times, turtles were called "Xuanwu", and together with "Blue Dragon", "White Tiger" and "Suzaku" they were collectively called "Four Spirits Culture".

Turtle Feng Shui

Chinese people particularly like turtles because they are extremely long-lived and can witness the rise and fall of the human world for hundreds of years. They have been regarded as a symbol of longevity and good luck since ancient times. When a person's family has extremely bad luck, or he or she is short of fire, the magician will suggest that the person raise a turtle at home and let the turtle move around. On the one hand, the turtle shell can block evil spirits and avoid bad luck, and on the other hand, it can strengthen the fire. Luck will drive away the Yin evil spirits. Therefore, raising turtles also has the effect of preventing people from falling.

Therefore the turtle is a divine creature. Turtles kept in fish tanks, such as Brazilian turtles, should be kept in specific locations, preferably in the direction of fire, or in places that require positive energy, such as near the door. The direction of fire can be determined according to family members. For example, men want the fire to be placed in the northwest, women want the fire to be placed in the southwest, and so on. Keep a tortoise at home and move around because it absorbs microorganisms in the air. The reason why tortoises live a long life is that tortoises have very strong vitality and can grow healthily without special care. If family members are not too afraid of fire, raising a turtle at home and letting it absorb microorganisms is also one of the ways to improve home feng shui.

Raising turtles and Feng Shui

Because of their longevity, it has been common throughout the ages for people to praise turtles or to worship them. In ancient Chinese legends, myths, and fables, the four spirits of unicorn, phoenix, dragon, and turtle are auspicious animals and are symbols of good luck, benevolence, and longevity. However, the first three spirits are all fictitious totems that do not exist in the real environment. Turtle exists and exists in reality. Moreover, the first three can only be used by emperors and nobles, and ordinary people can only keep a respectful distance from them. They are far less approachable than tortoises. Only tortoises are real and can influence us in appearance. Feng Shui also believes that turtles are animals that can bring good luck and longevity. It is said that turtles can ward off evil spirits and bring fortune to people. Here are some quotes about the relationship between turtles and Feng Shui: From the perspective of Feng Shui, the protrusions of the turtle shell are curved, like a mirror, so the turtle shell can be used to eliminate evil spirits. Although the turtle moves slowly and seems to have no ability to defend itself, it knows how to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens. When it encounters danger, it will retract its head, tail and limbs into its thick turtle shell, making it helpless to even the most ferocious enemy, and it will eventually be able to survive. Get through it. Therefore, when encountering some very special and dangerous punishments, instead of using a lion to fight head-on, it is better to use a turtle to resolve it, and use softness to control hardness, which is more appropriate. Although these are all myths spread among the people, since there are still many things in the world that are still unknown, it doesn’t hurt for us to take them as true for the first time. This also allows me to continue to keep it, and to raise the helmet to find the theoretical basis and motivation.
