Fengshui lions in Yifeng (the third batch at the provincial level) Fengshui lions in Yifeng are now mainly distributed in 16 towns such as Xinchang, Tanshan, and Tianbao in Yifeng County and surrounding counties and cities such as Gao'an, Shanggao, and Tonggu. Its forms of expression include stone carving, wood carving, bronze carving, root carving, and brick carving. In the Qing Dynasty, pottery painting, calligraphy and painting, and paper-cutting were derived in Houhai. Its types include lying lions, squatting lions, standing lions, walking lions, hanging lions upside down, guarding the courtyard lions, protecting the house lions, and tying baby lions. According to the theory of Fengshui, different forms of Fengshui lions have different functions. Lying lion: symbolizes leisure, peace and happiness, and is usually placed in front of temples or amusement parks; Crouching lion: is a patron saint worshipped by the people from ancient times to the present, it is placed between heaven and earth, absorbing light from the sun and the moon, listening to all directions, and looking at the universe. It is responsible for suppressing evil and exorcising demons, and is widely used in government offices, houses, city gates, bridges, temples, halls, warehouses, ancestral tombs and other places; Standing lion: has a fierce temperament and quick reactions, and is ready to go and has an overwhelming momentum. It is suitable for being placed in front of temples and tombs, and is responsible for guarding the enemy and guarding the mountain, but it must not be placed in government offices or houses, so as not to attract ominous emergencies; Walking lion: also called mountain lion, it is in a hungry and foraging state, with a fierce momentum and evil spirit. It should not be placed in front of government offices and residential courtyards, so as not to attract disasters. The upside-down lion, the courtyard-guarding lion, the house-protecting lion, and the baby-tethering lion are used to guard the house and protect the fetus. The placement of Feng Shui lions is also particular. Feng Shui lions of different textures and colors have different placement directions. The east belongs to wood in the five elements, so a copper lion should be placed; copper lions belong to gold, and gold can overcome wood. The west belongs to gold in the five elements, so a red lion should be placed; red lions belong to fire, and fire can overcome gold. The north belongs to water in the five elements, so a stone lion or a jade lion should be placed; both Feng Shui lions of these two materials belong to earth, and earth can overcome water. The south belongs to fire in the five elements, so a black lion should be placed; black lions belong to water, and water can overcome fire. Of course, if limited by the environment, you can also choose the corresponding color of paper and ink according to the specific Feng Shui deficiency, draw a pair of lion images (or paper-cut, embroidery, etc.) and place them, which can also achieve the same effect. The Feng Shui lions in Yifeng focus on the appearance and color of the lion, the placement direction and time of placement, the reasonable combination of the environment and the characteristics of the owner, rather than the exquisiteness of the carving craftsmanship or the value of the materials used.
