A Pixiu (貔貅) is a mythical Chinese guardian often associated with keeping good fortune and wealth. In one popular story it takes in treasure and never lets it out. That’s the origin of a familiar symbolism in feng shui; displaying a figure does not guarantee a financial outcome.
What does a Pixiu look like?
Modern figures often have a lion-like body, a dragon-like head and wings. Historic winged guardians vary. The Palace Museum’s Han-era jade bixie is one example of a related guardian figure; museum names such as bixie and tianlu do not identify every modern Pixiu design.
How does the Pixiu backflow incense burner work?
The Pixiu backflow burner directs smoke through the figure and out of its mouth. Before lighting, line up a backflow cone’s hollow base with the inlet. An ordinary solid cone does not create the waterfall effect. Choose a level, heat-resistant tray away from direct drafts. Keep the room ventilated, stay nearby and let the burner cool before touching it. See the backflow setup and troubleshooting guide.
What comes with the burner?
The product page shows the available finishes. Your first Pixiu order includes a free box of 32 backflow cones in one randomly selected fragrance. For decoration without smoke, display the unlit figure on a shelf or table.
