In traditional Chinese culture, 'nine' is considered a noble and abundant number, symbolizing a multitude rather than a specific count. Accounts of the 'Dragon's Nine Sons' vary, largely originating from Ming Dynasty texts such as Li Dongyang's 'Huailu Tang Ji' and Yang Shen's 'Sheng'an Ji'. The order, names, and attributes of the sons often overlap. Here is a compilation: 1. 'Bixi' (贔屭): Resembles a turtle, enjoys carrying heavy loads. Often found at the base of pillars in architecture and beneath stone tablets. 2. 'Chiwen' (蚩吻): A dragon head with a fish body. Enjoys swallowing and gazing, commonly seen on roof corners and ridges of buildings. 3. 'Pulao' (蒲牢): Small dragon-like body, enjoys roaring, possesses divine power. Often used as the beastly handle on bell tops. 4. 'Bi'an' (狴犴): Resembles a tiger, enjoys litigation. Frequently found on prison gates or flanking the main halls of government offices. 5. 'Taotie' (饕餮): Appears as a ferocious beast, loves to eat. Often used as decoration on bronze wares (ancient cooking vessels). 6. 'Chishou' (螭首): A hornless dragon with a large mouth and a belly capable of holding vast amounts of water. It can suppress fires, thus commonly found on drainage outlets and bridge pillars. 7. 'Yazi' (睚眥): A dragon head with a jackal body. Known for its fierceness and love of combat, often found on sword pommels and ring guards. 8. 'Suanni' (狻猊): Resembles a lion, enjoys smoke and sitting. Commonly found on censer lids, censer feet, and Buddhist pedestals. 9. 'Jiaotu' (椒圖): Resembles a conch snail, enjoys closing its mouth, staying secluded, and is loyal to its duty. Often found as the beastly handle on doors or as door guards. 10. 'Qiu Niu' (囚牛): A small yellow dragon with horns, gentle in nature, enjoys music. Often found on the head of lutes. 11. 'Chao Feng' (嘲風): Resembles a phoenix, a manifestation of a bird. Loves perilous heights, often found on the roofs of palaces or buildings to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. 12. 'Chihu' (螭虎): Resembles a dragon, enjoys decorative patterns. Frequently found on jade objects and inscriptions. 13. 'Fuxi' (負屭): A lion's head with a dragon's body. Refined in nature, enjoys literature and calligraphy. Often found coiled on the tops of steles. 15. 'Keling' (蚵蛉): Resembles a dragon, enjoys wind and rain. Commonly found on palace ridges. 16. 'Jinwu' (金吾): Resembles an Ao fish, with two wings on its tail. Intelligent and never sleeps, thus suitable for patrol duties. 17. 'Pixiu' (貔貅): A dragon head with horns, a mouth but no anus. It consumes wealth and only takes in, never expels, thus possessing the ability to 'attract wealth' and 'guard treasures'. **Pixiu** Legend has it that Pixiu is a son of the dragon, with a lion's head, horns, and a beast-like body. It feeds on money and evil spirits, and only takes in, never expels, thus bestowing Pixiu with the functions of 'attracting wealth' and 'warding off evil'. Ancient Pixiu were formidable beasts! In modern times, to suit popular sentiment, the round and plump Pixiu, appearing as if full of wealth, are considered more comforting and endearing. **Ametrine** Ametrine crystals simultaneously contain purple and yellow colors, formed by the accidental occurrence of the natural transformation process between amethyst and citrine. Naturally formed specimens are preferred. **Citrine** Citrine is also known as the 'Stone of Wealth'. In ancient Greek mythology, citrine emitted a strong light of wealth at night, assisting the Greek hero Jason in his quest for the throne. Thus, it was believed that those who possessed citrine received the blessings of Plutus, the Greek god of wealth, bringing endless financial fortune. Natural citrine boasts a clear and elegant color; light and transparent specimens are considered superior. In ancient times, citrine was naturally formed when amethyst was heated in nature, making its production scarce. Prolonged exposure to radiation would gradually deepen its color, tending towards purple. Modern times have seen much artificially produced citrine, where the processing has unfortunately damaged the crystal's natural qualities and energy. **Amethyst** Its name originates from the ancient Greek words 'a-' (not) and 'methustos' (drunk). Because it was believed to protect its wearer from intoxication, ancient Greeks wore amethyst and used it to craft wine vessels. Over time, amethyst became associated with enhancing wisdom. Lavender Amethyst, with its soft and elegant purple hue, represents higher-level, spiritual, and mental love. The frequency of purple corresponds to the crown chakra, possessing a calming and soothing effect. Its pure, refined, and dense energy offers a feeling of gentle refreshment. **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Ametrine, 925 Silver, 18K Gold Dimensions: **1.

However, we will strive to maintain stylistic consistency, so please allow us adequate time to craft each masterpiece. **◈ Care and Collection** 1. Natural gemstones possess natural luster and unique textures (including minor black spots, internal lines, ice cracks, cloudy inclusions, mineral flaws, and asymmetry). With frequent wear, you will observe subtle color changes in natural gemstones, often making them appear more translucent and enchanting – this is also the best method of care. Natural organic gemstones (such as coral and amber) have low hardness and are sensitive to acids and alkalis. If soiled, avoid using detergents. Clean with plain water and wipe with a soft cloth. You may also use a soft brush with a small amount of mineral oil (like baby oil) for gentle polishing. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan, but avoid external damage or exposure to strong acids and alkalis, which can cause fading. 3. Fabric materials (ribbons, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable, with a long lifespan, but avoid high temperatures, external damage, or exposure to strong acids and alkalis, which can cause fading. 4. For jewelry of any material, when soiled, it is advisable to wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water as appropriate, or use a suitable amount of neutral detergent for applicable materials. After washing, ensure the item is promptly dried. 5. When jewelry is removed, it should be properly packaged and stored, minimizing exposure to excess air to slow oxidation and discoloration. Avoid stacking or placing heavy objects on it. **◈ Product Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1. Should you have any questions regarding the product, please kindly contact us via private message. 2.
