Pixiu
Pixiu is a mighty auspicious beast in folk mythology. According to records, Pixiu has the body of a tiger-leopard, the head and tail of a dragon, and its color is both gold and jade. It has a mouth but no anus, delights in consuming gold, silver, and treasures, taking in but never releasing. Thus, people believe it is closely connected to wealth.
Intangible Heritage Copper Firing Color Technique
After fine polishing of the copper figurine's surface, artisans control temperature, heating duration, and reagent ratios to form a dense oxide film on the copper surface at high temperatures, producing richly layered color variations. This coloration is not a coating applied to the surface but a natural texture formed by the copper itself through high-temperature oxidation. Unlike ordinary spray painting, every high-temperature reaction in copper firing coloration is unique.
24K Genuine Gold Leaf Decoration
Selected high-purity 24K genuine gold leaf, hand-applied using the ancient gold-leafing technique onto the coins, horns, and claw tips. Thin as cicada wings, it firmly adheres to the copper surface. The genuine gold texture is lustrous and magnificent — not electroplated gold water, wear-resistant and不易剥落 — enhancing the ornament's collectible texture and noble auspicious symbolism (gold represents gold and jade gathering wealth).
