石狮是守护人们吉祥、平安的象征
石狮是守护人们吉祥、平安的象征。至于老虎,其实很多石雕都是虎头狮身的造型。还有就是佛教对这方面的影响,古时候佛教盛行,他们有一种说法说佛所坐为狮子座,佛的坐塌为狮子床,佛为人中狮子,狮子就是护法瑞兽。
The stone lion is the symbol of protecting people's auspiciousness and peace. As for tigers, in fact, many stone carvings are the shape of tiger head and lion body. There is also the influence of Buddhism on this aspect. In ancient times, Buddhism was prevalent. They have a saying that the Buddha was sitting in the Leo, the Buddha was sitting in the lion bed, the Buddha was the lion among the people, and the lion was the guardian of Buddhism.
除了狮子,古代人也喜欢雕麒麟等等镇宅,都是取纳福招瑞吉祥的意思,有一只兽下还有一只小兽,也有子嗣繁盛的愿望。
In addition to lions, ancient people also liked to carve kirins and other towns and houses. They all meant to take Nafu to attract auspicious luck. There was a small animal under one animal, and there was also a desire for the prosperity of offspring.
