Shishi fortune-telling Huang

What's the difference between Zhen Shishi and other Shishi?

The town house is a sister-in-law, and the cemetery is to ward off evil spirits. The two look very similar, but remember not to confuse them.

Since ancient times, Shishi has been an auspicious animal of geomantic omen. They are mainly used in urban housing and geomantic omen. Placing stone lions at the door not only has a decorative effect, but also enhances the yang of the house and helps to improve wealth. It is a common layout of auspicious geomantic omen, which can effectively improve the geomantic omen of houses. Of course, there are many geomantic stresses on placing stone lions.

Must be a male and a female in pairs, the placement position is also exquisite, and it is forbidden to turn left and right. Generally speaking, the lion should be placed on the left side of the gate with hydrangea in its paws, which can keep peace and career.

The lioness needs to be placed on the right side of the gate, and there will be a little lion under the left front paw or between the two paws, which has the function of making money and gathering happiness; Distinguishing the left and right directions is based on standing outside the gate.

The lion is an auspicious beast, which can be used to eliminate many kinds of evil spirits, that is, to eliminate evil spirits in the town house, to enhance the official prestige and to enhance the yang of the owner.

Many large families used to put a pair of stone lions at the door. Now, due to the high-rise buildings, narrow alleys and narrow living space, there is no place to put stone lions at the gate, so the lions are put indoors to turn evil into energy.

When it is not convenient to place the lion, the lion pendant and bronze lion brand can also play the role of turning evil into disaster, guarding the home and defending the hospital, and resisting attacks.

Lions are not produced in China, but they are regarded as auspicious animals by China people, and their shapes and decorations are naturally regarded as auspicious patterns. After nearly two thousand years of evolution and sublimation, they have formed an artistic image with unique China characteristics and accumulated rich auspicious cultural connotations.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian made his first trip to the Western Regions to explore the Silk Road, and "foreign objects came from all sides". According to Volume III of Three Auxiliary Huang Tu, there are lions in Qihuatang next to Zhang Jian Palace in Chang 'an, Western Han Dynasty.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Ban Chao governed the Western Regions and once again extended the Silk Road. Only when the lion entered China from the Western Regions did it begin to go down in history. "The Story of the Western Regions" records: "In the first year of Zhang He (AD 87), (the country with interest) sent envoys to offer teachers (lions) and."

"The Biography of Ban Chao in the Later Han Dynasty" also records: "It was a year-old tribute treasure, Fu Ba, a teacher (lion)." The rest of the countries are equivalent to Iran today. "Fu Ba" also wrote "peach blossom", but I don't know what animal it is. Later generations thought it was a deer (that is, Tianlu) or a beast to ward off evil spirits.

The image of the lion is very clear. Since people in China saw the real lion, they have been attracted by its powerful image, regarded it as a beast, and made its image to convey its god.

The early stone lions were used to guard the mausoleum, and later they were used to guard the gate. Although the location has changed, the auspicious function has not changed. People hope to use the mighty momentum of lions to ward off evil spirits, guard palaces and protect homes and towns, which reflects people's psychology of praying for peace.

Chinese lion images are different between men and women and have different connotations. The lion on the left plays with hydrangea, which symbolizes the long-term stability of the country and social peace; The lioness teases her cubs, symbolizing the reproduction and continuation of future generations.
