"Chinese guardian lions, known as Shishi (stone lion) or Imperial guardian lion are a common representation of the lion in pre-modern China. They have traditionally stood in front of Chinese Imperial palaces, Imperial tombs and temples from the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), and were believed to have powerful mythic protective benefits."
