Introduction of Foshan lion head

Foshan lion head is an ancient Han handicraft in Guangdong Province. It was founded in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, and has a history of more than 200 years. Its biggest feature is vivid modeling, bright colors and exquisite and firm production. The shape of Foshan lion's head is generally cheeks, round lips, bright teeth, vibrating tongue, thin cheeks, and nine thin wings behind two corners. Artists also ingeniously imagined a lion's horn, making it into a fist (head) horn, a bamboo (bamboo) horn, an eagle (hemp) horn, a fish-catching horn, etc., which is very eye-catching, so it is called Foshan to wake up the lion.
