Cultural Meanings

The Chinese lion dogs are traditionally carved from decorative stone, such as marble and granite  Because of the high cost of these materials and the labor required to produce them, private use of guardian lions was traditionally reserved for wealthy or elite families. Indeed, a traditional symbol of a family’s wealth or social status was the placement of guardian lions in front of the family home.

The Chinese Fu dogs are always presented in pairs, a manifestation of yin and yang, the female representing yin and the male yang. The male lion has its right front paw on an embroidered ball called a “xiù qiú”(ball), which is sometimes carved with a geometric pattern known in the West as the “Flower of life” The female is essentially identical, but has a cub under the closer (left) paw to the male, representing the cycle of life. Symbolically, the female fu lion protects those dwelling inside, while the male guards the structure. Sometimes the female has her mouth closed, and the male open. This symbolizes the enunciation of the sacred word “om”. However, Japanese adaptions state that the male is inhaling, representing life, while the female exhales, representing death. Other styles have both lions with a single large pearl in each of their partially opened mouths. The pearl is carved so that it can roll about in the lion’s mouth but sized just large enough so that it can never be removed.

Why are they called Foo dogs?

Foo Dogs (sometimes spelt Fu), the common name in Western cultures for Chinese Guardian Lions or Imperial Guardian Lions, have stood in front of Chinese Imperial palaces, offices and tombs as well as homes of the wealthy since the start of the Han Dynasty in 206 BC. They were believed to have powerful protective properties.

Today, in Chinese communities across the world, Guardian Lion statues are common both within and at the entrance to homes and offices.

It is interesting to note that the lion is not an animal indigenous to China. History says that travelers brought stories about lions as a Buddhist protector of Dharma, and statues of lions were modeled in feng shui after the travelers’ descriptions and after the native dogs.
