Stone lion ornaments are a product of the development of modern Buddha statue culture and stone carving culture. The pair of stone lions carved in the ancient building of Hezhi Garden is the lion of the Forbidden City. It is the shape of a Beijing lion and a model of all traditional lion shapes. The lion’s head is decorated with a mane and a bell is hung around its neck. It is muscular and mighty. It can ward off evil spirits and bring auspiciousness.
Stone lions, as a common evil warding item in the traditional culture of the Han nationality, are of various types and can be placed in various places. This pair of stone lions is carved from high-quality local Zhangpu black stone in Fujian. The carving level is relatively difficult and the level is relatively high. It is especially suitable to be placed outside the gate, especially in ancient Chinese houses. Gives a retro feel.
The height of this stone lion is 1.5 meters. From the whole shape of this lion, we can see that the most distinctive feature of the lion is its spirit, momentum, and the connection of the overall charm. This lion is not only used as a guard against evil spirits, but also to show a kind of authority, so the key parts of the sculptor Zishi lion are appropriately exaggerated and strengthened, and the carved forms such as explosive eyes and huge mouth can enhance its dynamic power , to fully express its spiritual temperament, and to use extraordinary carving techniques to create a majestic and majestic artistic image.
The pair of stone lions are in the shape of welcoming lions, with a simple and majestic style, elegant and complex shape, and because the color is black and white, it is more suitable for some black and white buildings.
The bottom of the stone lion is carved with the unique ancient red brick pattern in Hui’an area, which is simple and clear. On the upper part of the black blocks, the engraving method of deep carving combined with shallow carving is adopted. The deep carving part is the upper and lower lotus seat parts, while the shallow carving is the pattern part combining black and white. This kind of flower is not Chinese. Flowers, this type of work is a favorite pattern in European-style architecture, but the modern style is a bit of a combination of Chinese and Western, and it has become a new pattern shape, retro and elegant, and the color contrast is obvious, making the overall structure of the pattern clear and direct.
There is also a natural bottom of a lion on the base, which is also made of Zhangpu black stone. On the top is a stone lion. The left foot of the lion is a small lion, while the right is a hydrangea under the left foot of the lion. This is a typical example. The lion culture of Chinese art expresses the lioness on the left, who takes care of the family, and the male lion on the right, who goes outside to earn money to support the family. In terms of the overall shape of this pair of stone lions, the carving on the chest part is particularly important. Fortunately, there is a faint lion head, and the lion head on the top will feel a wonderful visual experience with two lion heads. Of course, this kind of visual experience does not hinder the role of this stone lion as a town house. On the contrary, it adds some small tidbits to make it more memorable.
