How much do you know about Chinese lions?
The image of the lion played particularly well in China. By the sixth century CE, they had become popular as guardian representations for the rich and powerful.
For a long time, the shape of the guardian foo dog statues has constantly changed in appearance, posture, and various aspects. The most common image is a pair of male and female lions flanking the entranceway to the premises they protect.
These stylized guardian lions are known in Chinese as shishi.
Male lions usually put a paw on the hydrangea, symbolizing the male guardian of the building. The lioness protects the cub under her claws, which symbolizes her protection of life and the power of women. This image also reflects the yin-yang tradition of Chinese Taoism.
