Pixiu is a mythical animal that can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune to the house.
Pixiu is a mythical beast in ancient Chinese myths and legends. It has a dragon head, a horse body, and lin feet. It looks like a lion, has gray fur, and can fly. It is responsible for patrolling in the sky to prevent demons, ghosts, plagues and diseases from disturbing the heaven.
It is said that Pixiu violated the rules of heaven and was punished by the Jade Emperor to feed on wealth from all directions. After this allusion spread, Pixiu was regarded as an auspicious beast that attracts wealth and treasures. This is also the reason why Chinese people love to wear Pixiu jade jewelry.
