Why is the lion's face covered with red paper?

Legend has it that stone lions have the effect of exorcising evil spirits and preventing villains. Just bought a new lion, be sure to choose an auspicious day to light it for him, and be sure to blindfold him before opening it, so that he will only keep the gate after opening it. After completion, the lion's head will be covered with red cloth on the way out, and after being delivered to the required place, some water will be stuck on the lion's eyes with red cloth, which is similar to the finishing touch. Red is the favorite color of Shishi, and it also has a festive meaning. That's why there is a saying that red cloth covers the lion's head.
