The Chinese word for “lion” can be a pun for “generations” (shi), “master” (shi), and “thoughts” (si), all pronounced the same way. Because they are powerful creatures, guardian lions (“foo dogs”) guard the entrances to temples and public buildings. #ChineseCeramics This tweet was posted on April 23, 2024.

The fearless lion motif was introduced to China alongside Buddhism where it symbolizes strength and protection. Lions also signify harmony, blessings, and high military rank. The lion appears frequently in Chinese decorative arts as highly stylized. #ChineseCeramics This tweet was posted on April 23, 2024.
