Dear Dominique,

A good foundation is always to try and seek the reasoning.

The Chinese I-Ching coin can be analysed as followings:-

1. The outer circle (of the coin)

Circle represents metal element

2. Colour of the coin

The colour of the coin looks metallic i.e. copper coin. (metal element)

3. What is the square hole?

If one looks carefully at the productive sequence: Square represents Earth element.

What so good about this?

Since square represents Earth, under the productive sequence: Earth supports or fuel Metal. Thus symbolically strengthening the Metal element.

4. Why use 6? (6 coins)

Number 6 represents BIG or STRONG metal.

5. Why use Red string?

Red represents fire. Under the destructive sequence of the Five elements concept; Fire CONTROLS Metal.

6. Thus, since we are using a STRONG metal cure, it is best to seek a balance by say introducing some Fire element such as a red string.

7. The amount of red string should be sufficient to hold all the six coins. Thus, it should be ridiciously OVER-USED. So long as it can hold all the 6 coins - where the 6 coins can all be seen strung together it is fine.

8. There is thus no such thing as the number of treads, the thickness, whether there is a tassle or not. All these does not matter. But it would be bad to use red to cover nearly all the surface area of the coins. Like this, might as well spray paint the coins a funny all red. (This is thus not acceptable).

9. My personal advise is: to have a solid grounding of all concepts. Once, this is achieved, together with continous learning, every authentic traditional Feng Shui use or cure can be " authenticated " or explained clearly.

10. This is what makes the difference between Authentic Traditional Feng Shui and other `unknown' practices that cannot be authenticated. For example, many Man or Human luck practitioners cannot truly `provide' proof that a certain corner is our wealth corner.

Especially to the effect of asking us to place a piggy bank. It might appeal to `fools' but we must all be discerning about it. Therefore, if anyone says this, do challenge them. If this cannot be answered, it is evident that all these are not Feng Shui but - `make us feel good' i.e. Man or Human luck components. But again, it will not be for long.

The closest to finding wealth sector, is to use Flying Star Feng Shui - to properly activate water positions especially if there are e.g. #7 or #6 or mountain stars (for luck) at certain locations under specific conditions.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
