LION: SYMBOL OF PROTECTION IN FENG SHUI


I took the photos with the lion statue guarding the entrance to an insurance company.  In Feng Shui, the majestic lion is a symbol of protection for the entrance to a building.  Instead of one, the lion guarding the entrance is usually in pairs.   Their duty is to guard against bad luck entering the house or building.  For your information the entrance gates that are guarded by lions are also referrred to as  lion gates.

Hi Lina, Sometime I thought Pixiu guarding the entrance, cos some places the guarding at entrance does not look like lion.

In China, they use a lot of Pi Xiu but then there are also lions as well. So one needs to look carefully.
