PIXIU, SON OF THE DRAGON

Pixiu one of the 5 most famous animals in Chinese mythology. He was born on the 18th day of the second lunar month, an extremely symbolic date in Asia.

This is the ninth child of the Heavenly Dragon of the Jade Emperor. The ninth son of the dragon borrows the massive and powerful look of the lion. His body is surmounted by a dragon's head. And he adorns himself with a pair of wings, for good measure. There remains today at 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 wore only 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, it fiercely protects its 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 flew 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 all that 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 you love silver and gold so much!

The story says that the pixiu attacks demons and evil spirits whose vital essence it transforms into wealth. It is therefore often used to attract a certain financial prosperity, hence the gold bars or coins that accompany it.

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

It is placed in particular in the annual sector afflicted by the three killers (san sha, 三煞). · The Tai Sui (Grand Duke Jupiter, 太歲) or Sui Po sector, especially if this sector is frequently disturbed (for example if the main entrance door is there).

It is in relation to this reason that the Pi Xiu or Pi Yao is, in Asia, the symbol of conquest and gain. It brings luck and fortune, it promotes the good circulation of Qi. it increases wealth, it protects people and homes, it wards off bad luck and obstacles, and it promotes good opportunities. Considered a guardian and protector, Pixiu is highly revered.

To properly place and use them, it is best to follow the rules of feng shui. they are used as are the tigers and the dragons in order, mainly, that they move away the bad luck and repels the harmful energies. The pixiu is placed near a door, facing outward.

Given its fierce nature and its mission to protect against evil spirits, one does not turn the pixiu in the direction of another person, unless of course you want to tell them that they are a declared enemy and have decided some questionable magick. One commonly finds pendants representing a pixiu. In this case, the pixiu acts rather as protection against harmful influences, especially for health. Pi Xiu remains very faithful and loyal to his appointed master. If you are moving into a new house or have done a lot of work, it is advisable to place the Pi Xiu statue in your living room.
