Summary
| Description |
English: Chinese lions usually appear as male/female pairs with the male holding a ball under one paw, and the female holding a lion cub which lies on its back. One Chinese legend holds that female lions have nipples on the bottoms of their paws which they use to suckle the cub. The ball is believed to represent the union of Heaven and Earth, or the totality of Buddhist law, and the cub is believed to represent the world. |
