Stone lion, also known as stone lion in Chinese folk culture, is a common anti evil article in the traditional culture of Han nationality. It uses stone as raw material to sculpture the image of lion, which has artistic value and ornamental value. It can be seen in Chinese palaces, temples, pagodas, bridges, mansions, gardens, tombs and buttons. Records of the folk customs of the Yuan Dynasty, the collection of the records of the Yuan Dynasty, states that "in the capital of the Xianchen shuoshui family, the lion was cast with pig iron, and the seats were set outside the left and right doors." This is the earliest and most detailed record of the appearance of the stone lion at the gate in China. The stone lion gate appeared after the Song Dynasty. The implication of folklore is mainly embodied in exorcism and Naji, prediction of disasters, display of status and artistic decoration.
