PIXIU, SON OF THE DRAGON

And he adorns himself with a pair of wings, for good measure. There remains today in the pixiu 貔貅, or pi xiu or pi yao - male or female - only one horn. Whereas, in the past, the female wore two horns to distinguish her from the male, who only wore one.

There is an air of strength and ferocity throughout, accentuated by the clearly exposed fangs. The pixiu is a celestial guardian, responsible for preventing the intrusion of demons and evil spirits, he fiercely protects his master. The pixiu is of noble extraction, it feeds on stones and precious metals symbols of its nobility of character.

The legend of Pi Xiu or Pi Yao tells that the latter would have deliberately disobeyed a celestial law and that the jade emperor would have thrown himself into a black rage. To teach him the lesson and punish him, he would have condemned the latter to feed only on gold and silver. He would then make his anus disappear in order to prevent him from evacuating everything he ate. He would therefore be obliged to keep his loot in his belly but could never have access to it or use it. A horrible punishment when one is so fond of silver and gold!

The pixiu is also used to overcome demons and malevolent spirits causing diseases, or to prevent them. In traditional feng shui, a metal pixiu is used as a cure for certain delicate qi.

It brings luck and fortune, it promotes the good circulation of Qi. it increases wealth, it protects people and homes, it wards off misfortune and obstacles, and it promotes good opportunities. Considered a guardian and protector, Pixiu is highly revered.
