In Chinese traditional culture, pixiu is one of the mythical beasts, symbolizing auspiciousness, attracting wealth, and warding off evil spirits12. The combination of jadeite and pixiu to make a bracelet doubles its aesthetic and symbolic value2.

Jadeite is a popular gemstone with rich and colorful colors such as emerald green, bluish-white, pale jade, and beeswax. In Chinese culture, jadeite is regarded as an auspicious object, with the saying that "even if both jade and stone are burned, jadeite will not be destroyed", and it is believed to have the effects of protecting the body, eliminating disasters, and warding off evil spirits2. The color and texture of jadeite are also used to interpret life, endowing it with rich cultural connotations2. Therefore, choosing jadeite as jewelry material can not only show its aesthetic effect but also reflect the owner's taste and cultural cultivation2.

According to legend, pixiu is the ninth son of the Dragon King, also known as Tianlu, where "lu" refers to official positions and salaries. Administrative officials wearing jadeite pixiu bracelets can boost their official careers1. Pixiu is also said to have a large amount of fortune and a long life, being psychic and miraculous. Elderly people wearing jadeite pixiu bracelets can be blessed with a long life1. In addition, pixiu has the homophonic meaning of "warding off evil spirits". Ancient Chinese feng shui scholars believed that pixiu is an auspicious beast that can turn misfortunes into blessings, so jadeite pixiu also implies praying for blessings, driving away evil spirits, and protecting peace1.

Most importantly, pixiu is famous for its ability to attract wealth. It is said that pixiu feeds on gold, silver, and treasures. Because it has a mouth but no anus, it only swallows but does not excrete, symbolizing the gathering of wealth from all directions and making it a popular symbol of attracting wealth among people12.
