Green Jade Pixiu & Lotus Car Hanging Charm Every time you slide behind the wheel, you set off on a small journey — and the people who have done this for centuries never traveled without protection. This green jade Pixiu car charm is your traveling guardian: a carved Hetian jade medallion, a fierce little wealth-drawing Pixiu, and twin lotus blossoms, all knotted by hand and ready to hang from your rear-view mirror. It’s made to do two things at once — invite fortune toward you and watch over you on every road you take. What Is the Green Jade Pixiu & Lotus Car Charm? This is a 30cm hanging charm built around three time-honored symbols. At its heart sits a round Hetian jade medallion carved with a Pixiu and an ancient coin motif. Above it rests a small jade lotus bud, and below it bloom two carved jade lotus flowers that flow into a tassel of black, gold, and green beads finished with silver caps. It’s designed for your car’s rear-view mirror, but it’s equally at home on a doorknob, a desk, or a sacred corner of your living space. Think of it as a talisman you can actually see and touch every day — not tucked away, but working quietly in the background of your life. Pixiu (Pi Yao): The Feng Shui Wealth Guardian If you only know one feng shui symbol for wealth, let it be the Pixiu (also written Pi Yao or Pi Xiu). Legend tells that Pixiu was the ninth son of the Heavenly Dragon, with the face of a lion-dog and a single horn. The story goes that the Jade Emperor sealed its body, so it could take wealth in — but never let it back out. “Wealth flows toward you and is held close.” That is the whole promise of the Pixiu in a single line — it gathers fortune and refuses to let it slip away. That’s why generations of merchants, business owners, and families have kept a Pixiu close. It isn’t just decoration — it’s a symbol of abundance that stays. The Eight Blessings of Pixiu In feng shui tradition, the Pixiu is believed to offer its owner at least eight blessings: Brings fortune and good tidings Produces good feng shui, or “earth luck” Attracts wealth and prosperity Safeguards the home and everyone in it Exterminates evil, adversity, and obstacles Summons windfall luck Protects from accidents during travel Appeases Tai Sui (the Grand Duke Jupiter) Notice number seven. Protection during travel is exactly why the Pixiu belongs in your car — this is the one blessing most charms overlook, and it’s the reason this piece was made for the road. The Lotus Flower: Purity, Harmony & Renewal The Pixiu brings fierce, hungry energy. The lotus balances it with calm. Rooted in mud yet rising spotless above the water, the lotus is the Eastern symbol of purity, harmony, and renewal — there’s an old saying that captures it perfectly: “No mud, no lotus.” Beauty and clarity grow out of difficulty, not in spite of it. In Buddhism, the lotus represents purity of mind, body, and spirit. Pairing it with the Pixiu is intentional: one hand draws in prosperity, the other keeps your inner world steady and clear. That’s a charm you actually want sitting in front of you in traffic. Hetian Green Jade: Meaning & Benefits This charm is carved from genuine Hetian jade (nephrite), the stone the Chinese have called the “stone of heaven” for thousands of years. Sourced from the Kunlun Mountains region, it has been treasured far longer than gold — prized as a symbol of longevity, wisdom, and purity. Three Traditional Benefits of Jade Health & vitality: Jade is traditionally associated with physical wellbeing, longevity, and inner strength. Wealth & abundance: In feng shui, jade is said to invite prosperity and richness into your life. Love & emotional balance: Jade is believed to carry calming, grounding energy — easing fear, jealousy, and tension in your relationships. How to Hang Your Jade Charm in the Car Getting the placement right matters, and it’s simple. Hang the charm from your rear-view mirror so the Pixiu’s head faces outward — toward the windshield and the open road. That’s the direction it “feeds” from, pulling fortune toward you as you travel. One firm rule: never let the charm block your view. Safety comes first, always. If it sways too much, shorten the loop so it hangs close to the mirror. Away from the car, place it facing a door or window — and avoid pointing the Pixiu’s head at your bed, a mirror, or a bathroom. How to Cleanse & Care for Your Charm Your Pixiu is believed to be loyal to one owner, so let your own hands be the first to truly handle it. To keep it fresh: Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth, or rinse briefly under clean running water. Let it rest under moonlight overnight now and then to “recharge.” Avoid harsh chemicals and perfumes, and try not to let others touch the Pixiu’s eyes or mouth. The PotalaStore Difference At PotalaStore, we don’t mass-produce trinkets. Every piece in our collection is rooted in authentic Tibetan and Himalayan craft traditions — the same heritage you see in the prayer flags and endless-knot motifs that surround this charm in our studio photos. Each charm is hand-knotted, not machine-strung, so the beadwork, tassels, and jade carving carry the small, honest variations of real handwork. We believe a charm should feel blessed and intentional from the moment it reaches you — which is why we treat these as meaningful objects, not just accessories.

Hang it from your rear-view mirror with the Pixiu’s head facing outward, toward the windshield and the road, so it can draw fortune in as you drive. Just make sure it never blocks your view. Is jade good luck to hang in a car? Yes. In Chinese and Tibetan tradition, jade is a stone of protection and safe travels. Paired with a Pixiu, it’s one of the most loved feng shui charms for a vehicle. How do I cleanse or activate my new jade charm? Wipe it with a soft cloth or rinse it briefly under clean water, then rest it under moonlight overnight. Avoid harsh chemicals, and let your own hands handle it first. Where should I place it besides the car? It works beautifully at home or in the office. Position it facing a door or window to invite wealth, and avoid pointing the Pixiu at your bed, a mirror, or a toilet. Who should be cautious about wearing or using Pixiu? Tradition suggests children under 16, adults over 70, and pregnant women may prefer to hang or place it rather than wear it. Those born in the Year of the Tiger are also advised to take care. Is this real Hetian jade, and how can I tell? Yes — it’s genuine Hetian nephrite. Real jade feels cool to the touch, is dense and heavy for its size, and shows soft natural variation in tone rather than perfectly uniform color.
