Chaoshan Fengshui Shishi

Generally, the stone lions at the entrance of our town house are divided into left and right sides. One stone lion is stepping on the ball and the other is stepping on the lion cub. The difference between the two is the difference between men and women, and the difference in symbolic meaning. Usually, the male lion on the left is stepping on the ball and the female lion on the right is stepping on the baby lion. The male lion on the left symbolizes the power and status of the family, while the female lion on the right represents the offspring and many children of the family.

First of all, it is a symbol of the lion, which is why we put the stone lion. Shishi has always been considered as an auspicious animal, which can enhance the yang of buildings. Because the lion is fierce by nature, it will have the function of suppressing evil spirits and protecting the house. Lions placed at the door are generally a male and a female, in pairs, usually left male and right female, which is in line with China's traditional philosophy of Yin and Yang. The lion who is still stepping on the baby lion is a female lion, and the lion who is still stepping on the hydrangea is a male lion.

Folk lion is a beast of the town house, and it also has the function of avoiding evil spirits. And the lion's mouth is open and closed, representing the meaning of exhalation. According to legend, lions have the spiritual power to predict disasters. If it encounters natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, its eyes will turn red or bleed, and people can take refuge in advance. Some put Kirin, which is also a god beast, which is helpful for geomantic omen, especially for those whose doors face the water (rivers).

Chinese lion images are different between men and women and have different connotations. The lion on the left plays with hydrangea, which symbolizes the long-term stability of the country and social peace; The lioness teases her cubs, symbolizing the reproduction and continuation of future generations.

Many large families used to put a pair of stone lions at the door. Now, due to the high-rise buildings, narrow alleys and narrow living space, there is no place to put stone lions at the gate, so the lions are put indoors to turn evil into energy. When it is not convenient to place the lion, the lion pendant and bronze lion brand can also play the role of turning evil into disaster, guarding the home and defending the hospital, and resisting attacks.
