Details
Pixiu is a Chinese mythical hybrid creature with the head of a dragon, body of a lion, and wings. It has a voracious appetite for gold and treasure, and its distinctive feature is the absence of an anus — meaning it can only take in wealth and never expel it. In Feng Shui, Pixiu is considered one of the most powerful wealth attractors and protective guardians. Pixiu statues are typically placed near entrances or in wealth areas to welcome prosperity and repel negative energy.
