The lion is a common item in China's traditional culture to ward off evil spirits. It is a sculpture with artistic value and ornamental value, made of stone as raw material and sculptured into the image of a lion. The earliest stone lion was the stone lion in front of Gaoyi Tomb in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is often used as an ornament in traditional architecture in China, and can be seen in palaces, temples, pagodas, bridges, mansions, gardens, tombs and buttons in China. But more often, stone lions refer to a pair of lions placed on the left and right sides of the gate.
