Are there male and female jade Pixiu? There are some rules for attracting and keeping wealth

All things in the world are interdependent and mutually exclusive, so they are divided into yin and yang. Heaven and earth are opposite, the sun and the moon are opposite, and men and women are also opposite. The concept of the conservation of yin and yang has been the Chinese people's simple understanding of all things in nature since ancient times. Over time, it has solidified into a custom and concept that has been widely circulated to this day.

In many ancient Chinese myths and legends, auspicious animals are referred to in pairs. For example, the phoenix, originally the phoenix was the male bird and the huang was the female bird, but gradually people combined them into one and called it "phoenix".

The same goes for the Pixiu. According to legend, the Pixiu is a ferocious mythical beast, and some say it is the ninth son of the dragon. The male is called Pi and the female is called Xiu. Its body is composed of a dragon head, a horse body, and a unicorn foot. It is shaped like a lion, but has no scales or hair. There are one-horn and two-horn ones. The one-horn one is called "Tianlu" and the two-horn one is called "Bixie".

The main job of the Pixiu is to patrol the heavens, and it has the meaning of protecting the house and exorcising evil spirits. He likes to eat gold, silver and jewelry, but because he violated the heavenly rules, he was punished by the Jade Emperor and was forced to swallow everything without excreting. This adds an additional meaning of attracting and keeping wealth. Because of its auspicious meaning, jade Pixiu has always been widely loved. Whether it is a large ornament or a small pendant bracelet, many people choose it. However, what should you pay attention to when choosing a jade Pixiu?

Types of Pixiu

A single Pixiu, regardless of gender, has the same function of warding off evil spirits, attracting wealth and keeping fortune.

When a large and a small Pi Xiu appear, they are a mother and child Pi Xiu, and they have stronger power.

When Pixiu appears in pairs, they are divided into female and male. The male Pixiu represents attracting wealth, while the female Pixiu represents guarding the treasury.

How to distinguish male and female Pixiu

1. Look at the body shape: the male Pixiu is relatively fat, while the female Pixiu is relatively slender.

2. Look at the direction in which the head is tilted: point the Pixiu's tail towards yourself and look at the direction in which the Pixiu's head is tilted. The male Pixiu's head is tilted to the left, while the female Pixiu's head is tilted to the right.

3. Look at the wings: male Pixiu has big wings, while female Pixiu has small wings or no wings at all.

4. Look at the feet: point the Pixiu’s tail towards yourself. The one with the left foot in front is a male Pixiu, and the one with the right foot in front is a female Pixiu.

        How to choose a Pixiu

With the development of society, the decorative uses of jade have been greatly enhanced than before. When used purely as jewelry, there is basically no strict distinction between male and female Pi Xiu, and there is no need to be too particular about it. If you want to collect it, it is best to get a pair of Pixiu, which means good luck and is more valuable. If you wear it for some desire, it is best not to wear two Pixiu at the same time, because according to legend, Pixiu has a ferocious temperament and can easily affect each other.

In summary, the jade Pixiu symbolizes the protection of the home, exorcism of evil spirits, and the attraction and preservation of wealth. It can be worn by both men and women, and everyone can choose freely according to their needs.
