A lot of people might be wondering, why these Five Coins are widely being used in Feng Shui aka Geomancy Practices (風水), Spiritual Ceremonies and some Religious Rituals (華族宗教儀式), etc.
Reasons, cos these Five Coins are being bestowed and enhanced by the Five Qing Emperors in the Qing Dynasty.
Besides that, these Coins are made according to the Rules of Spiritual Skills (Taoist Theory) – Tian Yuan Di Fang (天圓地方). The Round shape of the external of the Coin represent Heaven and the Square shape of the internal of the Coin represent Earth.
And so, without any additional enhancement, these Coins can be used as a Charm to ward off Negative Entities, etc. So when one self is buying the Coins, remember to look out for the above description, do not just buy any form of Coins to represent the Wu Di Qian.
Nowadays, a lot of such Spiritual People have being invented other Coin Formation such as Liu Di Qian (六帝錢), Qi Di Qian (七帝錢), Ba Di Qian (八帝錢) or Jiu Di Qian (九帝錢), actually all these wont help in changing the Luck, but may result in bringing in more un-necessary issues.
Why in the Past, Spiritual People only used the Five Emperors' Coins, reasons as followed:
Firstly, who are the Five Qing Emperors?
The First Emperor of Qing Dynasty: Emperor Shun Zhi (清朝開朝皇帝順治)
The Second Emperor of Qing Dynasty: Emperor Kang Xi (康熙皇帝)
The Third Emperor of Qing Dynasty: Emperor Yong Zheng (雍正皇帝)
The Fourth Emperor of Qing Dynasty: Emperor Qian Long (乾隆皇帝)
The Fifth Emperor of Qing Dynasty: Emperor Jia Qing (嘉慶皇帝)
Secondly, why only these Five Qing Emperors are being chosen?
There are a few sayings, but after referring back to the real History, the most relevant reasons are like that:
Shun Zhi, the First Initial Emperor who so-called starts the Empire (even though, his Mother was the one who hold the Authorities). As the initial Emperor of a Dynasty, the Emperor will be blessed with the highest authorities and strong abilities and so, his Coin is being included in the Five Coin Formation.
Represent: Initial, Changing, a New Start (象征: 原先,開始,變化).
Kang Xi, the Second Emperor who fight against his Grandmother (Shun Zhi's mother) to get back the Authorities for making Decisions. Under Kang Xi, the Empire started to grow, the Society started to get stable and commoners were able to live normally, etc. Due to such reasons, his Coin is being included in the Five Coin Formation.
Represent: Prosperity, Wealth (象征: 富貴, 榮華, 財富).
Yong Zheng, the Third Emperor who strengthen the Empire by doing serious and firm decisions & planning. Besides that, Yong Zheng also forced the impossible to become possible. Due to such reasons, his Coin is being included in the Five Coin Formation.
Represent: Strength, Strong & Power (象征: 力量, 堅強, 權力).
Qian Long, the Fourth Emperor who bring in Wealth and more stable life-style for the Emperor. Qian Long, young and intelligent Emperor who willingly to accept changes and willingly accept all kinds of good suggestions in-order to make the Empire Strong and more stable. Due to such reasons, his Coin is being included in the Five Coin Formation.
Represent: Wisdom, Intelligent and Stability (象征: 智慧, 穩定, 才智).
Jia Qing, the Fifth Emperor who tried his best to maintain the Stability and Wealth-prospect of the Empire, many commoners were still be able to enjoy and lead a stable life, but after Jia Qing's Era, the Prosperity of the Empire started to decline.
Due to Qian Long's determination and believe in making the Empire Stable and Wealthy, his Coin is being included in the Five Coin Formation.
Represent: Hardship, Determination and Striving (象征: 努力, 堅定).
Because of all these reasons, the Five Coins representing the Five Qing Emperors are being used to make such Formations to ward off Negative Entities, etc.
Must such Coins be enhanced?
Like what I have mentioned earlier, due to the way the Coins are being made, such Coins are already being enhanced with the Natural Energies of the Universe. But if one self wanted to enhance the Coins with more Positive Energies, of cos it is encouraged.
Even though no enhancement is needed, but cleansing (淨化) of the new coins must be made.
bro jave, may i know what is to be done for the aspect of cleansing Wu Di Qian?
ReplyDeleteAt home, just use normal 5 color flowers, pomelo leave & pomegranate leave to add into water to do the cleansing, then use a new & clean cloth to wipe the coins dry.
ReplyDeleteFor Priests or Spiritual Masters, we will have own ways to do the cleansing, such as drawing of cleansing symbols on it, etc.. this is as good as doing enhancements.
okay.
ReplyDeleteis it a must to use 5 color flowers and so?
is there another alternative such as xia liu?
then are the Wu Di Qian put in a red pkt or just "string-ed" up and kept in a person's wallet or so?
sorry for the amount of qns
No worry abt asking.
ReplyDeleteFive Colors dont include white.
If cant get Five colors, get Three colors also can.
If u cant get xia liu, then, use pomelo leaves and the flowers, plus a little bit of Sea-salt - not eating salt, such salt u can get it from Aquarium Shop.
For putting in wallet, jus need to put them in a red-pac, as for home, can use red string to tie them up.
oh, i see. thanks for sharing the information.
ReplyDeleteWelcome welcome.
ReplyDeletesifu....may i ask...the coins after cleansing,must guo lu??(turn around on the incense burner???
ReplyDeleteNot necessary, but if you want, it can be done.
ReplyDeleteHi Jave, Can advise if we need to find auspicious date to start using wu di qian?
ReplyDeleteUsually the enhancing will need to find a good day, but for using, dont need.
ReplyDeleteAny shops in singapore where we can buy correct wu di jian? Must we keep all five coins in our wallet for protection?
ReplyDeleteMost of the shops in Waterloo, you can find that, but you need to find the correct person to do the enhancment.
ReplyDeleteCan find ah soon do for me? How much is one set? For wallet keeping , can we keep just one coin?
ReplyDeleteI donnot whether my uncle will do for you for this :P
ReplyDeleteNot every expensive, the most is abt S$3.50 - 5.00 per set.
Must keep all the 5 coins together.
Thanks..will check it out
ReplyDeleteDo keep me update on this. Anything need my help, just sms me.
ReplyDeleteSure..Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Master, I heard that it is necessary to use the actual antique coins that were passed down from the Qing Dynasty rather than modern-made factory reproduction pieces. Is that true? Or are reproduction pieces just as effective if they are enhanced? Thanks
ReplyDeleteIf you can get the real one, it will be best, but it will cost you a bomb. For now, the reproduce one is quite good too. Of cos, the enhancement takes a major part of the after-result
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know where to get a set of coins and enhanced in California, U.S.?
ReplyDeleteYou can try finding them online, from what I know, US had a few online stores selling enhanced Coins.
ReplyDeleteCan anyone tell me how to clean the new coins? Thanks
ReplyDeleteThe fastest and simpliest way to cleanse is using 5 colored flowers water.
ReplyDeleteWhat is 5 colored flowers water? Is that something I can do myself?
ReplyDeleteYup, just add five color flowers into a basin of water and from there, you can use the water to do any form of simple cleansing
ReplyDeleteSorry, this might be a silly question. What is "Five color flowers"? Is it a single flower that has five color or any five flowers of different color?
ReplyDeleteIts five different color flowers
ReplyDeleteThank you!
