Pixiu (p í xi ū) is a fierce and powerful divine beast in ancient Chinese mythology, with "Pixiu" being male and "Pixiu" being female. Pixiu, also known as Tianlu, Bixie, and Baijie, is related to the beliefs of ancient people. In Volume 10 of the Ming Dynasty's Zhou Qi's "Examination of Names", it is mentioned that Pixiu is called Bixie because it can dispel bad luck, and Tianlu because it can attract wealth. In the south, people often refer to it as Pixiu, while in the north it is often called Pixie. Pixiu has a body shape like a tiger or leopard, with a dragon like head and tail. Its color is also golden and jade, and it has a pair of wings on its shoulders that cannot be spread. It is known as one of the five great auspicious beasts along with the dragon, phoenix, turtle, and qilin.
