Work title | Guardian
Poetry allusion｜"Book of Han·Chapter on Rites and Music": "The tiger guards guard the gates."
The ancients used fierce beasts to guard the gates, symbolizing the fearless power of protection. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, stone lions have gradually become an indispensable auspicious beast in folk architecture. They are often stood in front of mansions, symbolizing majesty and protection, guarding the home from evil, and bringing good luck and fortune.
background:
The Book of Han was completed in the Eastern Han Dynasty by Ban Gu. It summarizes the hundred years of civil governance in the Western Han Dynasty. The chapter on rituals and music records the social ceremonies and cultural symbols of the time, and is of profound historical and ritual significance.
Plain language translation｜Like a brave warrior standing in front of the gate, guard the gate with fearlessness.
Design Interpretation｜
This work features a pair of traditional gate-front stone lions, one male and one female, standing on the left and right, paired with a broken rock trail and dense moss, forming a solemn and tranquil guardian landscape. The stone lion has a firm expression and stands still without saying a word, yet it exudes a sense of security and stability. It is suitable for placing on desks, entrance halls, and offices, injecting the meaning of warding off evil spirits and ensuring a stable career into the space.
This product is inspired by the traditional Chinese stone lion. The stone lion symbolizes majesty, justice and courage. It has been regarded as a guardian since ancient times. It is often stationed in front of palaces, temples and wealthy families to drive away evil spirits and disasters and protect the safety of the house. The male lion in the pair is stepping on a hydrangea, symbolizing power and status, while the lioness is raising cubs, implying the prosperity of the family and the continuation of its prosperity.
Bencao Gangmu ✦ One scene, one meaning, respect the nature
____________________________________________________________________________
Each moss jade is a testimony to a natural miracle. Its beauty comes from its uncontrollable natural generation and free growth. The plants on these moss balls, from the pteris fern to the cilantro, from the small-leaved water Linen to the maidenhair fern, each one is a masterpiece of nature, impossible to replicate and unpredictable.
The cultural implication of the stone lion shape
In ancient China, stone lions were placed at the gates of palaces, government offices, academies, and wealthy homes. They were arranged symmetrically with "male on the left and female on the right": the male lion had a ball under its feet, symbolizing power and rule; the female lion led her cubs, implying endless life and family prosperity. This work faithfully restores this layout, implying the dual protection and prosperity of career and family, adding a layer of auspicious protection to life.
