Is it good to have a lion head on the door?

Is it the kind with a ring in the mouth? It is good and the intention is to ward off evil and be auspicious.

It has the same intention as the stone lion standing at the door.

One of the main meanings comes from Buddhism. Manjushri is riding a lion.

Buddhism also has a saying of "lion's roar".

When the Buddha Sakyamuni was born, he "pointed one finger to the sky and the other to the earth", roared like a lion and said: "I am the only one in heaven and earth."

So Buddhism regards lions as solemn and auspicious divine beasts and worships them doubly.

People who believe in Buddhism first let the lion guard the door.

Another meaning comes from the folk. China does not produce lions. Later, after Zhang Qian went on his mission to the Western Regions, lions entered China. The emperor regarded the lion as an auspicious beast.

So in China, the lion also means auspiciousness. There have always been lion dance activities in the south, and it can be compared with the dragon dance, which shows the status of the lion.

So the lion entered ordinary people's homes. After all, dragons are for royal use only.

Bi'an is the guard of the cell. Only on the cell door.
