How To Chi Lin - Feng Shui to protect your home from evil spirits

Chi Lin is a mythical Chinese creature with the head of a Dragon, the body of a Horse, and the scales of a Carp fish. Also called the Dragon Horse, or the Chinese Unicorn, Chi Lin brings strong, protective feng shui energy with blessings of good health and prosperity.

Chi Lin is very loyal to its owner and will protect the house from evil spirits. Chi Lin has higher royal status that other feng shui guardians.

You can benefit from the energy of this feng shui guardian in many ways - bring a small sculpture into your home, choose an embroidery with Chi Lin image, a feng shui tassel, or carry Chi Lin with you as a key chain.

You can place the Chi Lin near the main entrance, in the family or living room. Do not place the Chi Lin in your bedroom, kitchen or bathroom.

As with most traditional feng shui cures, Chi Lin comes in many materials, colors, finishes and sizes.


The Chi Lin, or Chinese Unicorn, is often used in classical feng shui school applications as a protection and good luck symbol. You can find it in little statues, embroideries, wind chimes, door knockers and even as a keychain!
