Why do many units put two lions in front of the door?

Among the numerous garden attractions in China, stone lions with different shapes can be seen everywhere. A pair of stone lions were placed in front of the gates of ancient official temples and huge houses to guard the town houses. Until modern times, in front of the gates of many buildings, there were still such Shishi town residential nursing homes.

Generally speaking, the lions who guard the door are both male and female, and they are generally left male and right female, which conforms to China's traditional philosophy of Yin and Yang. The lion placed on the left side of the door is generally carved into the shape of the right front paw playing with hydrangea or the opening of hydrangea between the two front paws; The lioness on the right side of the door is carved into the left front paw to touch the cub or the cub is located between the two front paws.

1, the stone lions on both sides of the front entrance of the ancient temple, the male lion looked at the believers coming and going with his mouth open; The lioness keeps her mouth shut to protect her children, which shows the characteristics of traditional society that men are superior to women and perform their duties.

2. The folk lion is a beast in the town house. It also has the function of ward off evil spirits. The lion's mouth is open and closed, which means breathing. Some people put Kirin, which is also a kind of animal, and it is helpful for Feng Shui, especially for those whose doors are facing water (rivers). Another way of saying it is:

3, the lion's mouth is open and closed, Zhang is lucky, and it is to keep money. Keeping money only means eating and not spitting. I also heard a saying that they were chanting the Buddha's number, an "A" and an "Mi".

Generally, there are a pair of giant stone lions, a male and a female. The male lion stands on the ball to represent strength and unity, and the female lion stands on the little lion to represent her mother on earth.

The public stepping on the ball represents stepping on the world and is a symbol of rights. Mother stepped on the little lion, representing the long-term future generations! :)
