Probably the most popular Feng Shui item, next to
the Dragon. This mystical good luck creature is the ninth son of the Heavenly
Dragon whose task is to provide the blessings of good finance and wealth. A very
fascinating fact about this creature is that it does not have an anus, so that,
despite its never-ending appetite, things go in yet never come out. This is a
unique symbolism, indicating that money will come to you but never leave. The
figurine of the Pi Yao often shows it sitting on a pile of coins, signifying
that it will guard your wealth in addition to bringing you more. The PiYao can
be placed singly ors in a pair. When placed as a pair, the Pi Yao becomes known
as Tian Lu (Heavenly Protector) and Pi Xi (Evil Dispeller). The Chinese have
always admired and respected this extremely good luck symbol. It is a very loyal
creature, and is said to always attempt to rid its owners life of bad luck and
replace it with wealth.
The Pi Yao is believed to offer its owner a minimum
of eight blessings, 1) Brings fortune and good tidings,
2). Producer of good Feng Shui ors Earth
luck,
3). Attracts wealth and prosperity,
4) Safeguards the home and the residents in
it,
5) Exterminates evil, adversity and
obstacles,
6) Summons windfall luck,
7) Protects from accident during travel
and
8) Appeases Tai Sui
Excellent gift for just about anyone especially
those who gamble.
