The living story
The story so far
The Wealth Beast: dragon-headed, lion-bodied, winged, with a famously sealed rear — everything it eats stays inside, which is why it means money that never leaves. Han tomb guardian, shop-counter mascot, jade pocket charm: the hardest-working beast in the Classic, paid entirely in belief.
Happening now
It is sitting on a shop counter right now, jade and solemn, while the shopkeeper counts the day's takings beneath its gaze. The takings are good. The Pixiu takes no credit. It takes everything else.
What may come
One day a shopkeeper will become rich enough to retire, and will carry the Pixiu home, and set it on the family altar, and the beast will finally rest — money kept, duty done, the sealed rear having done its job for one whole lifetime. It will be the happiest retirement in the Classic.
