Pixiu also has male and female distinctions? How to distinguish them?
In many ancient Chinese mythological stories, auspicious animals are usually referred to in pairs. For example, the phoenix originally referred to the male as "Feng" and the female as "Huang", but they gradually merged into "Fenghuang". Pixiu is also divided into male and female.
Pixiu is the ninth child of the dragon. The male is called "Pi", and the female is called "Xiu". It also has one horn or two horns. One horn is called "Tianlu", and two horns are called "Bixie". The widely spread belief is that the male Pixiu represents wealth, while the female Pixiu represents the treasure house.
