I propose that this article Bixie be merged into the article Pixiu because, apparently, the mythological animal previously referred to as Bixie (literally: 'ward off evil', 'talisman') is now known as Pixiu. While I am not sure when or how this happened - it does seem to be the case as the (usually) winged, lion-headed mythological animals seem to be the same in both articles. Also, the Chinese article on the Pixiu does mention the Bixie, but has no separate article on Bixie. Also, my dictionaries give pixiu as the name of a fabulous or mythological animal, but only give 'ward off evil', 'talisman' as meanings for bixie. However, I am not knowledgeable enough to really make this decision - nor am I confident in merging the two articles - so I am asking for help from any qualified editor, please.
