About the sculpture:
A Pixiu is a mythical, winged lion-like creature in Chinese mythology, revered as a powerful symbol of wealth and protection. It's believed to attract and guard wealth while warding off evil spirits and misfortune, making it a popular good luck charm, especially in feng shui practices.
Here's a more detailed look:
Appearance:
Pixiu are often depicted with a fierce, lion-like body, wings, and a dragon-like head. Some variations include hooves and a split tail that covers their rear, symbolizing their ability to accumulate wealth.
Symbolism:
Pixiu are closely associated with wealth and prosperity. It's believed they have an insatiable appetite for gold, silver, and jewels, and that they only take, never release, wealth.
Protective Powers:
Beyond wealth, Pixiu are also seen as guardians that ward off evil spirits and bad luck.
Feng Shui:
In feng shui, Pixiu are commonly used as charms to attract and protect wealth, particularly in homes and businesses.
Gender Distinction:
Some traditions distinguish between male and female Pixiu. The male, often called Tian Lu, is associated with treasure hunting, while the female, called Bi Xie, is believed to safeguard wealth.
The cabbage is known as "pak choi" in Chinese means "100 types of prosperity luck". This is why the cabbage has become the favorite display . It will bring you prosperity luck and opportunities to make money.
