The lion is known as the "king of beasts". But the lion's native place is not in China. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the rest king of the western regions presented the first lion to China. Since then, lions have appeared on the land of China. At this time, the lion began to be known by people, and it was carved into a mighty architectural ornament.
the resting country, which lives in the city of Hehe, goes to Luoyang for 25, miles. Kangju is connected to the north and Wuyi Mountain is separated to the south. There are thousands of miles of places and hundreds of small towns, and the hukou is the most prosperous. Its eastern boundary is Mulucheng, the number is Xiao Rest in Peace, and it goes to Luoyang and Wan Li.

History
The earliest stone lion is the stone lion in front of Gaoyi's tomb in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in Ya 'an, Sichuan. The stone lion in front of the tomb of Liang Dynasty in Jurong County, Jiangsu Province has a history of 1,4 years. The stone lion of Tang Shunling Mausoleum in Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province was built by Wu Zetian for his mother Yang's mausoleum and is a representative work of existing stone lions. After the Ming Dynasty, many palaces, palaces, monasteries, and even the houses of wealthy families were guarded by stone lions. Later, stone lions with different postures were carved on the door pillows, stone lintels, cornices, railings and other building parts, which became an indispensable decoration for ancient buildings. There are many stone lions in Beijing in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The shape of these stone lions is no longer majestic, but tends to be loving and joyful, and I can't get tired of watching them for a long time. There are 14 carved columns on both sides of the famous Lugou Bridge built by the Jin Dynasty. Each column is engraved with exquisite and lively stone lions, and each stone lion hides nine cubs, the smallest of which is only a few centimeters, which is extremely difficult to count. Therefore, there is a saying that "there are countless lions on Lugou Bridge". In 1961, archaeologists specially numbered the stone lions of Lugou Bridge, and finally counted them clearly: * * * has 485.
Symbolic significance
It's hard to prove when the stone lion appeared as the patron saint of home in Chinese civilization and even in the world civilization. China's unicorn, four unlike beasts and lions all appeared in front of the feudal power and became the patron saint of luxury houses in the spiritual field, and this cultural phenomenon also appeared in the home culture of the East and the West.
Today, the stone lion at the gate is still a noble and inviolable symbol.
Stone lions outside the palace gate
There are usually a pair of stone lions or bronze lions outside the palace gate. According to the architectural orientation, the paired stone lions in front of the ancient palace gate are generally left male and right female (the placement of stone lions at the gate is based on the direction in which people come out of the gate), which conforms to the traditional philosophy of Yin and Yang in China. Lions placed on the left side of the door are usually carved into the right front paws to play with hydrangea or put a hydrangea between the two front paws (some are carved with their mouths open); The lioness on the right side of the door is carved into a left front paw to touch the cub or a cub lying between the two front paws (also carved into a closed mouth). You can also tell from what's under the lion's paw: if it's a ball under the paw, which symbolizes the unification of the whole world and supreme power, it must be a lion. The lion cub is standing under the paw, which symbolizes the continuity of children and grandchildren. It is a lioness. And because the lion is the king of beasts, a domineering beast. So there is? Honorable? And? Majestic? The role of. Today, it has extended from palaces and yamen to government agencies at all levels and even private houses. In front of the door, people like to use stone lions to ward off evil spirits. Of course, not every household is suitable for placing stone lions. Without the boldness of vision of the Emperor's House, his domineering spirit can't be completely suppressed, but it may be hurt by his domineering spirit.
folk lion
among the people, the lion becomes a brave, powerful and auspicious embodiment. Performing arts and plastic arts are often inextricably linked. The lion image in the lion dance is created by folk artists according to their own aesthetic ideals. It is lively, naughty and lovely, and completely loses the prestige of "the king of beasts". In folk art, the lion also resonates with the sounds of "Taishi" and "Shao Shi", which implies a high position. Unlike dragons and phoenixes, lions, as a royal patent, only appear in the modeling of court art. Lion modeling art is spread all over ordinary people's homes, and even a pair of small stone lions may be erected at the door of ordinary people's homes.
Classification
On the land of China, there are also southern lions and northern lions. The northern lion is magnificent and mighty, while the southern lion is lively and interesting. What else does it matter? Three kings and lions? That's because the lion is the king of beasts, and the stone carved by the lion is carved with phoenix and peony. Phoenix is the king of birds and peony is the king of flowers, so there is? Three kings and lions? The title of.
