The dragon turtle, or dragon tortoise, (龙龟, lóng guī) is a mythical animal from Chinese history and culture that is used in traditional Feng Shui as a powerful prosperity symbol.

In ancient China, imaginary and real animals were looked to for their energetic qualities and various characteristics. These animals were depicted in the arts and other decorations for their beauty and revered for their symbolic power and meaning. One of these is the mythical dragon turtle, which is a combination of the dragon and the turtle.

The dragon turtle has a dragon head on a turtle body, and is often displayed sitting on a bed of coins or gold ingots. Similar to the Money Frog, this animal can be found with a Chinese coin in its mouth as a symbol of prosperity. Sometimes you can find the dragon turtle with a baby turtle(s), which enhances the attributes of fruition, any sort of successful offspring, and long-term wealth for your family and children. The dragon turtle is said to invite wealth and success.

The auspicious dragon turtle brings together the dragon and the tortoise (or turtle), which are two of the four celestial animals. One of the principal foundations of feng shui philosophy is the four celestial animals. They are the white tiger in the east, the red phoenix in the south, the green dragon in the west, and the black tortoise in the north. The four celestial animals give rise to the primary concepts of Feng Shui that advise on how to create harmony and success between humans and their built environments. The black tortoise provides support, safety, and protection, while the green dragon inspires growth, life, and harmony.

In addition, the noble dragon turtle skilfully brings together the amazing qualities of both the turtle and the dragon. In most cultures, the Turtle is known for its long life, steadfast nature, and wisdom. The dragon in Asian cultures, exemplifies generosity, magnificence, and great power. If you’re familiar with the feng shui trigrams and the lo shu magic square, it is said that the auspicious symbols came inscribed on the shell of a legendary tortoise with a dragon’s head that emerged from the Lo River.

The dragon turtle is most often recommended for Feng Shui applications in a home office or on a desk to enhance and advance your career success. You can place this in the career or wealth area of the home office, workspace, or desk. You can even use it as a paperweight on your desk as a visual reminder of your career aspirations. The Dragon Turtle is believed to be a turtle that is transforming into a dragon, which symbolizes the owner’s upward movement and positive transformation in wealth and career.
