Kirin(Qilin)Charm: protection, longevity, and prosperity
This Natural Grade A Jadeite Pendant is intricately carved with the image of a Qilin, a legendary creature symbolizing blessings, prosperity, and protection.
The Origin and Symbolism of the Qilin
The Qilin is one of the most auspicious mythical creatures in ancient Chinese tradition, often regarded as a harbinger of happiness and prosperity for an entire generation. People in the past wished for the Qilin to always be by their side, bringing good fortune, light, and protection from misfortune.
In the hierarchy of mythical beasts, the Qilin holds a position second only to the dragon. In Chinese legend, the Qilin, together with the Dragon, Phoenix, and Tortoise, forms the Four Divine Creatures, with the Qilin known as the king among fur-bearing animals.
As a symbol of auspiciousness, the Qilin is believed to bring blessings when placed in the home. It is said to ward off negativity, protect the household, and enhance harmony and prosperity. Beyond supporting career success and financial well-being, the Qilin is also thought to dispel misfortune and help its owner overcome obstacles.
Protection, Prosperity
The qilin or Chinese unicorn is a mythical beast that symbolizes good luck and prosperity. According to tradition in China, Korea, and Japan, a qilin would appear to signal the birth or death of a particularly benevolent ruler or sage scholar.
"Qilin are thought to be a symbol of luck, good omens, protection, prosperity, success, and longevity by the Chinese. Qilin are also a symbol of fertility, and often depicted in decorations as bringing a baby to a family."
