Do you have any belief in using Kei Loons as protection? Where would i put them, and where would be the best place to put Pi You and gold ingots? I know the best place for Kei Loons is at your door, but I have a very small one and a medium size one, which i am not sure the effects. Thank you.

Dear Diane,
1.In my opinion, kei loons and especially a pair of lions are usually decorative items.
2. In many parts of China, one can see a huge pair of lions outside the entrances of large buildings.
3. In my opinion, there is nothing really magical in them other than they give an imposing `confidence' to the building(s).
4. In Singapore, a pair of lions (large ones) are very popular also. For example, one can see a pair of lion statues outside the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Singapore. At the main entrance of Ngee Ann City (mega) city. Many temples also have the lion statues "standing guard".
5. In my opinion, kei loons are more commonly placed in homes or above the pillars of the drive-way gate. Perhaps we can call kei loons as `puppies' and as a decorative item. Nothing magical.
6. In many very old buildings especially bungalow buildings, the belief is to use figurines with `fierce' or scary look decorating the frontage of the home.
Several temples use a pair of figurines of the Door God `fiercely' protecting the home.
7. The belief here is that if humans are not scared of such tame objects as as `sweet looking' kei loon or lion, why should bad spirits?
8. In my opinion, kei loons and lions are thus decorative items...
9. Sorry can u elaborate what is Pi You as this may not be the correct han yi pin yin description of an object and it is hard to piece what it is.
10. For gold ingots, if they are real, and if the price of gold is up (they are never up); sell it and keep the money in the Bank. *JOKE*
Well for a piece of imitation gold ingot, if one wants to place, it, think of it simply as a small decorative item i.e. place it where you feel appropriate.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
