Lions were regarded as auspicious symbols in ancient times. Do modern people think so?

In general, modern people do think so. In fact, strictly speaking, only China people have this tradition, because the ancients in China thought that lions could guard the door and play a very good role in guarding the house against evil spirits. Even in modern times, we often see stone lions in front of many yards. In fact, this also represents the owner of the yard's beautiful longing for an auspicious life, but even letting lions go has many taboos. Here I'd like to share with you a few points for attention.

1, be sure to put a pair.

First of all, the most basic knowledge is that if you want to put a lion in front of the door, you must put a pair instead of one, because the meaning of a pair is not only a symbol of good things, but also a symbol that things often have yin and yang meanings. For example, the stone lion at the door is usually divided into male and female. The male lion steps on the hydrangea and the female lion steps on the baby lion, indicating that the family will also have a balance of yin and yang.

2. Pay attention to the size of the lion

Secondly, we need to pay attention to the size of the lion. If you really don't understand how big the lion should be at the door, you can release it according to an unchangeable principle. This principle is that if our door is too small, we should never put a big lion, and if our door is too big, we should never put a persimmon. This not only means that it doesn't look so simple, but also represents the rationality of everything, which makes people know at a glance that this family handles things well.

3. Don't have blood on it.

Last but not least, try not to let any blood stick to the lion after placing it, which is very unlucky. Although this statement tends to be superstitious, on the whole, our tradition in China is that blood is an unlucky symbol, and we yearn for a better life, so we should try to stay away from these unlucky symbols.
