🦊 Xiangji Temple × Tu Shan Nine-Tailed Fox “Lu Lu Tong” Bracelet
Where Spirit Flows, Blessings Follow
A wearable prayer—where the wisdom of the fox meets the light of the temple.

✨ Cultural Origins
The Tu Shan Nine-Tailed Fox:
According to ancient Chinese legend, King Yu of the Xia Dynasty encountered a white nine-tailed fox before marrying the maiden of Tu Shan. Since then, the nine-tailed fox has become a symbol of spiritual charm, love, intuition, and divine protection.

Xiangji Temple:
A revered Buddhist site in Hangzhou, named after the "Fragrant Accumulation Pure Land" from the Vimalakirti Sutra. It symbolizes abundance in merit and wisdom. The merging of temple energy with the fox spirit makes this bracelet a sacred emblem of inner and outer harmony.

🌿 Design Inspiration
The design mimics a circular embrace of the fox's tails, encircling fortune. Guided by the concept of the "Six Directions" from the I Ching, each bead is intentionally placed to form a protective energy grid anchored by the carved fox deity.

🙏 FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Are the materials natural? Will the color fade?
A: Yes, we use natural ceramic, gold foil glass, and ivory nut beads. Each bracelet is handcrafted and carefully selected. The colors are stable and durable, but we recommend avoiding contact with chemicals like perfumes or detergents for longevity.

Q2: The beads I received look slightly different from the pictures—is that normal?
A: Absolutely. Due to handmade firing and natural materials, each bead may vary slightly in color, gloss, or texture. This uniqueness is part of their charm and not considered a defect.

Q3: I see small bubbles or lines inside the beads—is this a flaw?
A: Not at all. Natural gemstones, such as obsidian or agate, may exhibit ice cracks, a cotton-like texture, or mineral inclusions. Hand-blown glass beads may contain air bubbles or slight asymmetry. These are all normal and natural characteristics.

Q4: Will the elastic string break? Can it be replaced?
A: We use high-quality stretch cord that lasts 6–12 months with normal use. Avoid overstretching or frequent water exposure. If needed, we offer a free replacement cord—contact our support team.

Q5: Is this bracelet blessed or consecrated?
A: Some of our "Dongluna Zen " collections (including Lingyin Temple & Xiangji Temple items) come with prayer cards and blessing rituals. 

Q6: Is this suitable as a gift?
A: Definitely! Each bracelet is packaged with temple-inspired gift boxes or blessing pouches, making it a meaningful gift for birthdays, holidays, or heartfelt connections.

Q8: What is your return & exchange policy?
A: For most products, we offer a 7-day return/exchange policy if the item is unused and in original packaging. However, blessed or consecrated items (including "opened/activated" temple products) are not eligible for return or exchange, due to their ritual nature.
