Outdoor Decorative Sitting Granite Marble Stone Lion Sculpture

    The earliest stone lion extant in China is a relic of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The body of stone lions in the Han Dynasty is often carved with wings. Early stone lions were mainly used as guardians of palaces and tombs. Around the Liao and Jin Dynasties, stone lions became more widely used. Their figures began to appear on bridge heads and guardrail pillars. These stone lions often had different shapes and were lively. For example, the stone lions on Beijing Lugou Bridge were representatives of this period. After the Song Dynasty, stone lions tended to be more beautiful, with decorations and bells on their necks. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the shape of the stone lion was finally shaped with the formation of the symbolic meaning. For example, the stone lion in front of the gate was placed in a regular and symmetrical manner, and the position was the same as the custom of men left and women right. That is, when people walked out of the gate, the male lion was placed on the left side of the person, while the female lion was on the right side. The right female lion's left front paw tended to caress the cub or a cub lay between the two front paws, The male lion on the left side often plays with the hydrangea in his right front paw or puts a hydrangea between his two front paws. The two coincide, symbolizing "transmission from generation to generation".
