All about Pixiu (2025)
Introduction to Pixiu
The Pixiu is a mythical creature from Chinese culture and folklore. It is a hybrid creature often depicted with the head of a dragon and the body of a lion. Pixiu is believed to attract wealth and good fortune because of its money-drawing capabilities.
According to legend, Pixiu has a voracious appetite for gold, silver, and precious jewels, and it only consumes these treasures without ever letting them leave its body. This unique characteristic is one reason why it is considered a symbol of attracting and retaining wealth. In addition, Pixiu is thought to ward off evil spirits and provide protection to its owner.
How to wear your Pixius
The best and the most popular way of enjoying the benefits of the Pixiu is by wearing it as jewellery. Pixiu Jewellery comes in many forms, in particular bracelets.
There are also some more specific tips when wearing your Pixius. It is said that Pixius should be worn on the left hand. In Feng shui, your left side is believed to be the receptive side, while the right is the projective side. The right wrist is more ideal for sharing that fortune with others.
Another tip for wearing the Pixiu is to face its head outwards (facing your pinkie instead of your thumb). This is believed to allow the Pixiu to hunt for fortune and wealth outside and to bring it back to you.
The last tip is to wear and touch your Pixiu frequently, as it is believed that doing so will wake it up and also build its loyalty towards you. However, do note to avoid the eyes and mouth of the Pixiu when touching it since it uses them to seek wealth.
Tips for taking care of Pixiu
When it comes to cleaning your Pixiu (and the quartz beads that they usually come with), there are two levels you should do it – physically and energy-wise.
Physical cleaning involves cleaning the outside of your Pixiu. You can do so simply by using water and soap or bringing them back to your jeweller to get them professionally cleaned using the right chemicals. On the internal energy level, one can use the moon or sun energy by leaving them directly under the moon or sun to cleanse and recharge the Pixiu’s energy. Another way to cleanse and recharge your Pixiu and Quartz energy is by using the Singing Bowl.
