It is said that Nengzhen House belongs to a tiger, right? 1974 What is the life of the tiger?
Lions and tigers are the most common animals in China. As creatures that have lived with their ancestors since ancient times, they have been endowed with too many mythical colors by human beings. Besides, unlike the dragon in the movie, it's true.
Therefore, the derived liger culture is also a magnificent river, but it is an animal after all. They have also been entrusted with different missions by China people, and their existing images are also different. For example, in the field of architectural geomantic omen, there is a saying that the lion watches the door and the tiger sits in nave.
I believe everyone has seen the lion guarding the door. Even now, many public places still have stone lions as doormen. However, as we all know, lions were not produced in China, and it was not until Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions that he brought them back from the western countries. Later, when he arrived in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yue family in the western regions sent a lion to China, and only China people knew what the lion looked like.
At that time, people thought that lions were majestic and could be worshipped, so they carved themselves into statues. However, the lion was originally placed in the tomb as a tomb animal, but if it is to become a town house, it will have to wait until after the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
Moreover, in ancient times, the lion was a symbol of status and status, and ordinary people could not use stone lions, such as the stone lions at the entrance of the Forbidden City, which were relatively large in the country at that time. The lion in the west is a symbol of imperial power and majesty, while the lioness is stepping on a little lion, which is the continuation of future generations.
And each lion has 45 curly hairs on its head, symbolizing the Ninth Five-Year Plan. In the general's office, only ordinary stone lions can be used, such as the common ball lion in the south and the common Douwangdian lion in the north. At the level of an ordinary house, the owner has no right to put lions at the door.
Today, without class restrictions, the lions at the gate not only become an indispensable part of major buildings, but also rural people like to carve two little lions at the gate when building houses. Moreover, in modern times, a new style of lion has been developed. This is the Hong Kong dollar lion placed at the gates of major banks.
This kind of lion sculpture is different from the traditional lion sculpture in China, and it is generally realistic. Moreover, the two lions at the door, the male lion's mouth is wide, symbolizing lucky money and treasure, and the female lion's mouth is closed, representing keeping money.
In short, from ancient times to the present, the lion has always been regarded as a spirit beast that can guard the home and protect the family.
However, the latter sentence is somewhat controversial. There is a saying that the tiger is a local god beast in China, and it is also one of the 12 zodiac animals. Its status is lofty, and people often say that tigers are second only to dragons. Therefore, hanging a portrait of a tiger in the middle of the hall means that the tiger is rising step by step, the commercial land means peace, and hanging a crouching tiger at home means a lucky cat, which means that the financial resources are abundant. Are all beautiful meanings.
Another way of saying it is not so friendly. According to this view, tigers are inferior to lions. After all, the lion is a symbol of class and status. You can see a tiger, its figure or its chair in any cave of King Shan, which shows that it has no status.
More importantly, there is a saying that "when a tiger goes to nave, his family will be ruined". This is because the pronunciation of "tiger" and "disaster" is somewhat similar, and in the past, tigers often went down the mountain, so many people think it is very unlucky to hang tigers in the hall. For example, we are familiar with the Forbidden City, where lions can be seen everywhere, but tigers can't be seen, which may be proof.
Today, no matter what kind of statement has no scientific basis, tigers and lions are all beasts, and their spiritual significance is only artificially set, which is also the yearning and sustenance of our ancestors for a better life.
Therefore, whether it is a lion or a tiger, you can hang up as long as you like. However, the customs and culture behind these statues deserve careful chewing.
The above is related to Nengzhen House, which is said to be a tiger. It's about the sharing of tigers. After reading 1974, I hope this will help everyone!
