According to the myth, Pixiu is a kind of mythical creature in the heavenly palace with a unique appearance, having the head of a dragon, the body of a horse, the feet of a lion, and the antlers of a deer, described as powerful and mysterious.
There are various legends about the origin of Pixiu, one widely accepted belief is that Pixiu is one of the nine sons of the dragon, a mythical beast adept at finding treasures. The most significant feature of Pixiu is its ability to “eat gold and swallow treasures”. It is said that Pixiu can only eat and not excrete, thus it is endowed with the characteristic of attracting wealth.
In ancient times, the royal nobility often used Pixiu as a treasure to guard their homes and protect their wealth. In modern times, the image of Pixiu appears more often in the form of pendants and ornaments, regarded as a mascot for attracting wealth and guiding and protecting financial fortune.
