Because I believe this is an highly interesting topic x3
As we see in Mulan 2 - guardians have some sort of... law or rulebook. Now I've been watching Mushu, how he acts and stuff - he doesn't really appear to be a model-guardian (breaking rules and stuff... being punished to gong duty etc...)
So I thought about gettin up a nice rulebook but since I'm too lazy for something that big and I'd surely miss some stuff... I thought - how about if we do it together? Anyone who has some rule-ideas can just post them here in some sort of collection. We'll post our own little "Guardian-Manual" xD
And to start with two of my favorite rules =)
§1 "You cannnot avert what's going to happen - but you can influence it"
§2 "Life is vulnerable." §2.1. "Wounds can heal, but you cannot resurrect the death." §2.2. "If your guarded one dies - stay with him/her. This is necessary for finding peace."

I like this idea. I think there has to be rules for the guardians, only I'm not sure if they're widely known until each guardian learns them.
I wondered about why Mushu was the only one running about, and why the others are always stone. This might be what you said about him, 'breaking the rules', but it could also just be him plain not knowing them.

I actually believe, that a guardian stays active until the guarded one joins the ancestors... ^^ But I also think that maybe Little Brother could be Fa Zhou's guardian, for in the movie itself they only show about half of the Zodiaks in the temple - not including the dog. [randomthought]Or the horse that is... way more reasons for Khan to hate Mushu? Uh, I dunno... xD - Khan would be a little too big I guess[/randomthought]
Mushu not knowing the rules is actually a really good possibility. He might know them somewhere in the back of his head, but I actually just can't imagine him paying attention to them, or back when he was told the rules... Probably just as much as he payed attention to the Ancestor Discussion - yay for modern newspapers xD

Here's a very probable rule: DON'T BE SEEN!!!
I don't think that guardians are allowed to be spotted by other people, especially people outside their family. Of course, Mushu bends this rule plenty too (his "snake" moment with Ling, his freak-out the firework operators at the palace, and Shan-Yu), but we've already established that the dragon doesn't really obey the rules much anyway. Though he does have an "oops, I wasn't supposed to do that" expression when he let Shang see him at the end of the second movie.

Trufax, because Mushu has no clue what he's actually doing! *shakes head*
