工艺美术-石狮-综述
中文：
在中国，随处都可以见到石雕的狮子。由于中国人把狮子视为吉祥（auspiciousness）、勇敢、威武的象征，所以古时人们总喜欢把各种各样的石狮安放在宫殿、府第（mansion）、房屋及陵墓门口，用来“驱魔避邪”。在中国历史上，北京曾是五个王朝的都城，因此在北京城内外，遗存下许许多多各式各样的石狮。现在人们在北京看到的石狮，大多是明清时代（the Ming and Qing dynasties）雕刻。如今，石狮又出现在银行、商厦、公园和街市的门前。

Wherever one goes, one can see lions made of stone in China. As the Chinese regarded lions as a symbol of auspiciousness, bravery and power, stone lions of all kinds were often placed in front of palaces, mansions, houses and tombs to guard against evil in ancient times. In Chinese history, Beijing served as the capital for five dynasties. So there exist numerous stone lions of various types in and outside the city. The stone lions we see today in Beijing were mostly carved during the Ming and Qing
dynasties. Today, stone lions also appear at the entrance to banks, office buildings, parks or even in the street.
