Where should the head of the Qilin face?

The Qilin symbolizes auspiciousness. Generally speaking, the standard for placing the Qilin is that the head faces the door, and the tail faces oneself. Usually, the female is on the left and the male on the right. The Qilin is regarded as a divine beast, and it is not appropriate to hang it by the window, as this would be disrespectful. Stone-carved Qilins have the effect of repelling evil spirits and warding off bad luck, so they are most suitable to be placed at the front door. There is no specific direction, just that the head should face outside. The household owner will surely enjoy great wealth and fortune.

Why do people like to place the Qilin?

The Qilin is also the deity that people most hope to see. Its appearance always comes with happiness and brightness, health and auspiciousness. In traditional Chinese culture, the Qilin has its own unique significance, which is the culture of fertility. In traditional Chinese views on fertility, the most desired thing is to have children early and have many offspring, to have a large family with many children, and to believe in the idea of "more children mean more blessings." The phrase "no filial piety is greater than having no descendants" reflects the belief that being unable to have children or continue the family lineage is the greatest failure. Since the Qilin once appeared to Confucius, a great sage, bringing offspring to people, the most famous saying is "Qilin Brings a Child." Therefore, people strive to pray for the Qilin to bring them children, who are virtuous and talented. In the past, people often called a smart and lovely boy a "Qilin Child" or referred to their own son as "My Son, the Qilin." Thus, "Qilin Bringing a Child" is often carved on traditional Chinese furniture. "A child of the heavens is a Qilin, a son of the earth is a scholar." This is the heartfelt wish of people for their descendants.
