What is Pi Yao?

Most pi yao dragons in Chinese art are shown with four toes and only the Emperor was entitled to five. Anyone else who presumed to display a five-toed jade pi yao without authorization met with swift retribution. As a result anyone carrying a travel warrant sealed with the Emperor's five-toed pi yao dragon could travel safely from one end of the country to the other and expect hospitality all the way.

In the old days when it was usual to make offerings to dragons at lakes and rivers, people generally first burned incense to attract the dragon's attention and into the glowing brazier they would also throw little prayer papers declaring who they were and the specific object of their prayers.

The offerings that rich people threw into the lakes to please the dragon included gold, silver, precious stones (especially pearls and opals) and jade, which is held in peculiar reverence among the Chinese. In heaven it was said to be a particular form of jade which dragons and the gods ate. When crossing rivers, rich people also often threw in discs of jade to ensure safe passage, particularly on the Yellow River, known as 'China's Sorrow' because of the frequent devastation caused by its flooding.

Place the Jade Pi Yao in a well-lit area and it will shine and sparkle, emanating good ‘chi’ and vibes that attract good Feng Shui and fortune to the people in its surrounding.
