In traditional Chinese culture, the Pixiu is regarded as a mythical guardian beast. Legend has it that the Pixiu is the ninth son of the dragon, feeding exclusively on gold, silver, and treasures without ever excreting them—symbolizing wealth, good fortune, protection of family and home, and warding off evil. This symbolic meaning is not unfounded but rooted in the Pixiu’s unique appearance and legends. With the head of a lion, the body of a dragon, and the limbs of a bear, the Pixiu embodies the essence of heaven and earth, and the cream of all things.
