Dig Into History Magazine for Kids and Teens
|November/December 2016
Huge beasts, one male and one female, protect the entrances to palaces, temples, mansions, and other important buildings in China.
These guardian lion statues flank the entrances to restaurants and shopping malls as well (the pair above stand guard within the Forbidden City). They are also found in Chinese communities around the world. In Chinese culture, the lion symbolizes strength and good fortune and defends against evil.
