Part II - 'Protection' type of mirrors

[Cecil Lee]

1. This category of Ba Gua mirrors have the Fu Dogs as protection.
2. Sometimes, the owners may not have Fu Dogs on both sides of their premises and they like to feel comfortable with Fu Dogs.
3. Notice that the Model E & F Ba Guas in the picture with Fu Dog in the centre of the Ba Gua " clench' or bite on to two swords.
3. It has to do with the real figurines where some of these Fu Dogs bite on a sword each. I have also taken pictures of figurines of statues of Fu Dogs with the sword in this attachment.
Overall, this category of Ba Gua mirrors are is used more for "protection" e.g. against evil spirits RATHER than to deflect Sha Qi or poison arrows.
It is preferred to use the Basic Types e.g. Model A, B , C or D to deflect Sha Qi.
Warmest Regards,
