The Guardian Lion (Chinese: 石獅 / 石狮, Pinyin shíshī, or 石獅子 / 石狮子, shíshīzi – "stone lion") is a popular animal representation in Chinese art. Often, a pair of guardian lions can be seen in front of many house entrances, especially in front of the entrances of traditional buildings. These guardian figures are usually made of stone, but also of iron or bronze. Therefore, the Guardian Lion in Chinese literally also means stone lion.
