Lions are not native to China, so when ancient Chinese sculptors carved stone lions, they basically created them based on oral traditions and imagination. In addition, it is a principle often adopted by ancient artists to emphasize "charm likeness" over "body likeness". Some even add the appearance of traditional Chinese beasts to the head of a stone lion, showing a unique artistic style. It has the charm of a real lion but is different from the real lion. It is called the "Chinese lion statue" by foreigners.
The shape of a lion has different characteristics in different dynasties. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was usually strong and mighty. In the Yuan Dynasty, the body was slender and powerful. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was more docile. In the Qing Dynasty, the lion sculpture was basically finalized. The "Yangzhou Painting Boat Record" (1795) stipulated: "The lion's head, face, body, legs, teeth, crotch, embroidery tape, bell, screw thread, roll chisel, embroidered beads, Chisel out the cubs." Shishi not only has different characteristics of the times but also has obvious regional characteristics. On the whole, the stone lions in the north have a magnificent appearance and simple carvings; the stone lions in the south are more aura, lively in shape, and variously carved. The cubs are not only under the palm of the lioness but also on the back of the lion, lively and cute.
The Chinese have always regarded stone lions as auspicious objects. Among the many gardens in China. Stone lions of various shapes can be seen everywhere. A pair of stone lions were placed in front of the gates of ancient government temples and giant houses to guard the townhouses. Until modern times, in front of the gates of many buildings, there is still this kind of legacy of setting up guardian lion statues.
