Color crystal Wu Lou

[myfs_100654]

Dear Master Cecil,

I noticed there has been a lot of crystal Wu Lou that comes in various colors,sizes and other combinations. I've seen white, black, green, blue and even clear crystal Wu Lou selling at some of those shops. Are there any significance as to what kind of color and size that one should buy? There's also crystal Wu Lou that comes with other combinations such as those with ancient coins as well.

Has it got to do with our Kua number when choosing the color, size and combination?

Need your professional advice on this.

Dear Anon,

In the past, the most common is the wood Hulu or original wood dried ones.

However, in modern times (last few years) it is also common to find brass (gold looking) ones which represent the metal element.

These two are if one wants to consider -- the two most "authentic" ones because of the following:-

1. It is often used or placed at locations with #2 or #5. Both are strong earth element.

2. Thus under the Five elements concept:

ref: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm

2.1 Under the productive cycle, metal destroys earth. Thus, many of those used to at #5 or #2 are made of metal such as brass / copper which resembles gold colour.

2.2 Under the destructive cycle, wood destroys or control earth.

Thus, both wood (real wood, wood tone, brown or green) are considered under Para 2.2. And under Para 2.1, metal is the first choice element.

Henry Ford saying goes " You can have any color, but it must be black".

Thus, it can be any hulu but it must either be metal or wood.

The size really does not matter.

Anything else e.g. crystal hulu, black, purple, red etc... should not be used as a "cure" unless it's color fits the sector under the flying star MS#, WS# and #Base numbers.

Otherwise, it is best to stick with either "metal (gold)" or "wood".

For a hobbist, there is no issue buying a whole collection of hulus for display mainly to enrich the seller of such products i.e. line his/her pocket.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
