Taboos and taboos of wearing Pixiu
There are some mistakes in asking this question.
Pixiu is not only an auspicious animal in modern times, but also an auspicious animal in ancient times. The origin of Pixiu
Pixiu is one of the five auspicious animals in China, together with dragon, phoenix, unicorn, etc.
According to legend, Pixiu violated the laws of heaven, and the Jade Emperor was furious and demoted Pixiu to the human world. Moreover, the Jade Emperor also restricted Pi Xiu's magical powers, allowing him to only swallow property from all directions, but he could not release what he swallowed.
Later, Pixiu met Huangdi. Huangdi saw that he looked strange and very fierce, so he invited Pixiu to help him fight. Later, Pixiu helped Huang Di win many battles, including the famous battle with Chi You and the battle to defeat Emperor Yan.
Since then, Pixiu has become an auspicious beast.
Later King Wu of Zhou saw Pixiu and gave him a minor official title, becoming Jiang Ziya’s mount. Reasons for becoming an auspicious animal
There are two reasons why Pixiu became an auspicious animal.
First, Pixiu is regarded as a mythical beast that attracts treasures because it can only go in and out after swallowing property. Wealth is what people of every era desire. People in ancient times believed that Pixiu could bring wealth, so they made jade pendants in the shape of Pixiu to hang around their waists, or made stone statues of Pixiu to place at their doorsteps.
Second, Pixiu is a hero under the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor was able to defeat Chi You, unify the Central Plains and suppress the rebellion. Pixiu played an important role, so that later generations often used Pixiu to refer to an army that was good at fighting. For example, Zhuge Liang liked to use "Pixiu" to refer to the soldiers of Shu when he wrote letters to his later master Liu Chan. Why is this question
Although this question is somewhat wrong, you can still understand what it wants to express.
First, there was some controversy in ancient times that Pixiu was an auspicious animal. However, these literati's questions were too rare and no one responded, so overall, Pixiu is an auspicious beast.
Secondly, maybe I want to understand why Pixiu can become an auspicious beast. Indeed, among the five auspicious animals in China, the story of Pixiu is the least known. The dragon is the totem of ancient China, and the dragon and phoenix represent auspiciousness. The unicorn is a symbol of peace and prosperity. Pixiu is outside the traditional four mythical beasts. I hope friends can have a certain understanding of it through this article.
