Since the last millennium, a sailboat has been considered a symbol of success, wealth, abundance, because... in those distant times, it was the sailing ship that brought any goods and was always eagerly awaited on the shore. Food and drinks, clothing and building materials, people and gold, all this and much more was transported by sailing ships. Nowadays, everywhere, and especially in China, they use such a powerful talisman as a sailboat: in homes and offices, in shops and banks, everywhere you can see sailboats installed on pedestals, loaded with dummies of gold bars, Chinese coins and “precious” stones. This most powerful symbol of success and wealth works perfectly today, bringing various “goods” and benefits to its owners and others, just like in the old days. Let us also learn how to use a sailboat for our success in all matters.
What does this talisman mean?
People who revere the teachings of Feng Shui prefer to place a sailboat in their home as a talisman, because the image of a ship symbolizes and attracts wealth and well-being to the home. It not only increases the flow of income into the family, but also represents the possibility of successfully overcoming impending troubles. After all, since ancient times, sailing ships have been able to cope with formidable storms and storms, staying afloat and continuing their long journey.
However, it should be borne in mind that only a merchant ship that does not have weapons or military equipment on board is suitable for such purposes. The best option is considered to be a ship with sails inflated by the wind - a symbol of good luck and adding wealth to the family. Purchasing such a talisman into your home will help attract all the benefits, acquire new things, and also improve the financial condition of your owners.
The talisman must be made of metal (preferably noble) or wood. Due to the bulk of the design and difficulties with transportation, it is best to make a money ship with your own hands, investing your positive energy into it and conveying your dreams and desires. The finished vessel must be fully loaded with items that represent wealth: coins, precious stones, crystals, banknotes, etc.
The semantic meaning of the image
Where and what kind of painting can be hung in a particular area? When deciding on a choice, you must take into account the semantic meaning of each image.
For example, in the north, in the career sector, you can use images related to water - the sea, a sailboat, a landscape with fish. A special role in activating the career sector can be played by a painting depicting a waterfall - a symbol of purification, attracting good luck, love and prosperity. All images associated with clear water in motion serve as the personification of prosperity and happiness. The “waterfall” painting is good to hang in your office, bedroom or living room. This symbol has powerful energy. Therefore, you should never place a landscape with a waterfall behind you - above your desk, above the sofa in the living room, above the bed in the bedroom. There is a high probability of a negative result - it can simply be “flooded” with a powerful flow of energy. The “waterfall” painting should always be located opposite the table in the study and opposite the bed in the bedroom. You should not hang a picture with water in the southern sector. The meeting of two polar energies can lead to conflict.

In the south, in the glory sector, it is good to use paintings depicting mountains, trees, fire, and pointed shapes. Rocky mountains with a river at the foot, a landscape with poppies, images of strong animals, such as horses, are the best options for designing the glory sector. In addition, the image of a horse is a powerful talisman for attracting good luck. The picture of “horses” symbolizes success, achievement and glory in all areas of life. And horses in a pair also mean a favorable marital relationship. A special symbol of rise and growth is the image of a horse rearing up. In addition, a picture of a horse can be hung opposite the entrance to the nursery, as it patronizes children.

In the northwestern sector you can hang a picture depicting mountains. Mountains are a symbol of stability, protection and support. It’s good to hang a picture of mountains in your office, above the table. The mountains adorning the northwestern sector (intuition sector) should have no sharp peaks.

Elephants are animals that have a beneficial effect on many sectors in the house. Elephants protect against unreasonable spending, stimulate creativity, attract good luck and protect children. The painting “elephants” can be placed in a nursery, a study, or a bedroom. It can be used to decorate both the corridor and the western wall in the living room.

A sailboat is one of the most powerful symbols of material well-being and happiness. A painting depicting a sailboat can be placed in any sector of the house. You can hang it on the wall in the bedroom, living room and kitchen. But it’s best to hang the painting “sailboat” in the hallway. The sailboat must have spread sails, and it is also very important where it goes. The bow of a sailboat should be pointed towards the apartment, and not towards the window or front door. It is important that the picture depicts a sunrise or its zenith. Sunset is associated with the end of a period of prosperity, and therefore it is not at all advisable to use the sunset depicted in the picture in home decoration in order to activate zones. Paintings depicting a sunset are best for blocking negative energy.

Recommendations for choosing a suitable sailboat
When purchasing a ready-made sailboat in a store, it is recommended to choose a vessel that is not a model or copy of any famous ship. It will be bad if he became famous for military actions, victory in battles or the capture of the enemy and foreign territories.
The ideal option is a ship of wealth or its model, assembled without fasteners and nails, preferably wooden. After all, such material adds vitality and success to the owner in business. On sale you can always find various prefabricated models, when working with which they will additionally add not only energy, but also a particle of the human soul.

Similar recommendations exist when choosing a painting with a ship. According to Feng Shui, a drawing of a sailboat or its pictorial representation acts in the same way as its model. Any painted sailboat or yacht is a symbol of prosperity in the family. In addition, purchasing a painting will save space in the apartment, because, located on the wall, it will become an excellent decorative element and decoration of the room.
The most effective symbol to help attract good luck and wealth is a ship made of gold or decorated with a dragon's head. Even in the absence of sails, the dragon carries with it strong energy, which will help attract good luck and prosperity to the house.
Under no circumstances should you put a ship in a bottle, because... with its inability to get out of there, it symbolizes the opposite action - hopelessness and leading the situation to a dead end.
Marinistics: history, artists and paintings
The seascape inspired the artists of antiquity, but in Hellenic frescoes nature was just a background against which the action unfolded. In Christian subjects of the early Middle Ages, elements of a marine theme served a decorative purpose, and the technique was too primitive. The first example of a classic marina is considered to be the painting “The Portuguese Fleet” by Cornelis Anthonisz, painted in 1520.
The seascape became one of the main themes in the work of Dutch artists in the second half of the 16th century. Pieter Bruegel reached great heights in landscape painting. In his realistic creations, nature acts as a full participant in the action and adds emotional coloring to the plot.
The true heyday of the genre occurred during the Golden Age of Dutch painting. In the 17th century, the Netherlands had the most powerful military and merchant fleet, so scenes of battles on the water were very popular. The founder of the genre, Cornelisz Vroom, devoted most of his paintings to naval battles. His style is distinguished by careful drawing of the details of sailboats and masterful work with color.
Over time, the fashion for Dutch painting spread throughout Europe, and marine themes took a strong place in the work of European artists. French master Claude Lorrain lived and worked in Italy, where he created perfect landscapes, imbued with light and peace. In works on ancient and historical themes, he preferred to depict modern ships.
An admirer of Claude Lorrain's work and his follower was the classical marine painter Claude Joseph Vernet. After returning to Paris, he painted a series of fifteen paintings, “Ports of France,” which brought him fame. Vernet focused on the light-air environment, and the subjects of his works were sea views, storms and shipwrecks.
Sea battles between England and France in the 18th century were a source of inspiration for marine painters in both countries. Experienced masters of the genre appeared who strove to depict warships as accurately as possible, and approached the rest rather formally. The English master Nicholas Pocock was born into a sailor's family and was himself the captain of a merchant ship, so in the process of working on battle scenes he carefully studied the battle plans, condition and appearance of the ships.
The ideal place in the house to install a frigate of fortune
When choosing a location, you should follow several rules:
- the sailboat must be placed on a stand (shelf or coffee table), but not on the floor;
- red color helps activate the talisman, so you can place it on top of a bright red napkin or tie a scarlet ribbon on the yard;
- when the ship of fortune is installed near the front door, it helps to attract income to the family from the outside;
- the bow of the sailboat must be directed towards the center or inside the room so that the long-awaited wealth does not “float away” from it, so you cannot turn it towards the window or doors;
- in the house, it is better to place a money ship in the southeastern sector (in the zone of wealth) or northeast (zone of learning and knowledge);
- It is recommended to install the talisman in a residential or office building, in the boss’s office (as a symbol of power) and even in a store - everywhere it will attract good luck and money;
- It should be taken into account that the ship activates and attracts only a single financial source, therefore, if you want to receive income from different places, you need to place several sailboats in the house or its images in different rooms.

Where to place the fan?
You need to understand that a fan in the house is a connecting link of energy matters. Therefore, it is important not to harm yourself and your loved ones and think about its location. It is best to hang it where you feel stagnant energy. Moreover, the fan should be directed to the corner that needs recharging.
If this is a bedroom, you need to place it next to the bed, but not above it. The minimum distance from the sleeping place should be one meter. When you want to achieve career growth and success in business, you need to place the attribute behind the workplace so that the fan is behind your back.
To direct the energy upward, it is recommended to hang it on the stairs. You can conduct the flow of qi energy with the help of a fan placed in a long corridor.
It’s good to hang a red fan in the south or north, but it’s better not to place it in the west of your home. You need to choose a sector depending on the desired goal:
in the south there is a sector of glory, there you need to hang a fan with the image of a peacock or an eagle;
in the love-marriage sector (east), it is better to place a fan with paired objects;
in the southeast (wealth) you can hang an attribute with the image of a cedar or orange;
in the north (quarry) it is advisable to hang a fan with the image of a bird.
Hanging the fan on the wall is very easy. Usually it already has special ties. It is necessary to secure the object with the fan up at an angle of 45 degrees. You cannot point it straight down or up. If you don't want to clutter up the wall, you can put it on a shelf or stand.
How to activate the talisman ship
The original Chinese money ship, decorated with the head of a dragon, does not need to be activated additionally (this creature already attracts wealth into the house), especially when the talisman is covered with gold and filled with bullion. However, finding and purchasing such a dragon is quite difficult.
Most often, a sailboat loaded with coins, jewelry or stones symbolizing prosperity is installed as a talisman. To enhance the effect, you can insert a banknote wrapped in a tube into the sail or attach notes to the deck with the words “money,” “well-being,” and “prosperity.” To activate the talisman, red color is used (scarlet sails, ribbons, etc.).
Some admirers of the teachings of Feng Shui, to quickly fulfill their desires, use photos or images of material things that they want to receive as a gift. They are placed on the deck of a ship, attracting good luck and believing that all dreams will come true.
In the 21st century, a passion for Chinese theory helps many people strive for their goal and achieve its fulfillment with the help of various talismans and symbols. It is not without reason that gilded ships flying with full sails or Chinese dragons sailing on the sea decorate the offices of the richest people in the world. Maybe they brought them multimillion-dollar income and brought them success in business?
