Chi Lin placement question

[myfs_110223]

Hi,

My brother gave me a pair of white color Chi Lin (one with a ball and the otherwith a baby) for my house warming. I have been placing themin the house near the main door. However, they are placed on the same side of the wall of the main door (not facing the door) below a console table right beside my main door.

I came to know later thatChi Lin should be placed near the door orwindow facing outwards. I am now concerned whether the placing of my Chi Lin is wrong. Please advise.

Can you also clarify whether Tien Lu is similar to Pi Xiu and Pi Yao.

Thanks!
