The Nine Sons Of The Dragon are legendary creatures from Chinese mythology, the nine children born to the Dragon. Unable to become dragons themselves, each son has a distinct personality and unique characteristics, making them popular as amulets and Feng Shui items.
1. Bixi (贔屓): Resembles a turtle, carrying a stone pillar or stele on its back. It is said to possess the power to move forward, symbolizing steady progress despite heavy burdens.
2. Chiwen (螭吻): Resembles a beast. Able to see in all directions from high places, it was used as a roof ornament. It is also considered the origin of the "Shachihoko" (mythical carp with a dragon's head).
3. Pulao (蒲牢): Said to be the most dragon-like of the nine sons. Fond of shouting loudly, it is often used as an ornament on temple bells.
4. Bi'an (狴犴): Resembles a tiger. It is characterized by its hatred of crime and strong sense of justice. Used as an ornament above gates, its brave appearance is believed to ward off evil.
5. Taotie (饕餮): Resembles a beast and is said to love eating above all else. From this, it symbolizes "gourmet food" or "never lacking food," and by devouring everything, it is also used as an amulet to "devour evil."
6. Gongfu (蚣蝮): Has the body of a turtle and the neck of a dragon. It loves water and is therefore believed to protect against floods and water disasters.
7. Yazi (睚眦): Known for its fierce temperament and love of fighting, it was sometimes used as an ornament on weapons as a god of war.
8. Suanni (狻猊): Resembles a lion and prefers smoke and fire, thus it was used as an ornament on incense burners in temples. It is said to have the power to repel evil.
9. Jiaotu (椒図): Said to resemble a frog, pond snail, or turban shell. It prefers to keep things closed and is used as an ornament on house doors to prevent evil from entering.

We strive to present images without any correction whenever possible. However, due to camera characteristics, colors may appear more vivid than in reality, or in cases where the color tone is judged to differ significantly from the actual item, adjustments may be made solely to bring the color closer to the real appearance. (We do not perform any adjustments intended to enhance color vibrancy.)
Please use the listed product sizes as a general reference. We disclaim responsibility for minor size variations or differences between individual items.
Due to the nature of natural stones, items may contain small scratches, inclusions, or minor chips that occur during processing or transportation. These are not eligible for compensation or exchange.
For items sold per bead, pieces with minor scratches, chips, inclusions, distortions, or chipped drill holes may be included. We do not provide individual compensation or exchanges when multiple beads are sold. (For example, if one bead out of a set of three has a flaw, we cannot offer compensation or exchange on a per-bead basis.)
We disclaim responsibility for small (or minimal) scratches or chips that cannot be fully captured in images.
As natural stone beads and loose stones are primarily sold in strands or multiple-piece sets, we do not conduct detailed inspections of each individual piece.
Product descriptions and quality gradings of natural stones are based on our subjective evaluation. They are not absolute or universal standards, so please make your own judgment based on both the description and images.
Due to the nature of natural stones, even within the same grade or lot, there may be variations in size, color, and quality within what we consider the same lot.
If the hole size is unclear, it is not listed in the description. (In most cases where it is not specified, silicone cord will not pass through, so please use wire or similar materials.)
Even when a hole size is provided for natural stones, it is only a guideline and not guaranteed.
