Asian chinese fu dog lions have been widely used in the history of Southwest, South and Central Asia, and are believed to be depicted by guardian lions in Chinese culture.

In India, where lions live in Asia, it is famous for its ancient Sanskrit as “Sinh” or “Simha”. The goal of Chinese fu dog lions is to reflect the emotions of animals, not the reality of lions. This is distinctly different from the traditional English lions, which are lifelike depictions of animals.

In the past Lions always appear in pairs, is the expression of yin and yang, women represent yin and yang. The lion’s right front paw is placed on a cloth ball, referred to as “embroidery ball”, sometimes carved with geometric patterns.
