Why do stone lions in front of banks and buildings always keep their mouths shut?

There are rules for the placement of the stone lions. Generally speaking, they are male and female in pairs, and they are generally left male and right female, which conforms to China's traditional philosophy of Yin and Yang. The lion placed on the left side of the door is generally carved into the right front paw to play with hydrangea or there is a hydrangea between the two front paws; The lioness on the right side of the door is carved into the left front paw to touch the cub or the cub is located between the two front paws.

Stone lions often stand in front of shops and banks. Now there are stone lions in front of big banks. Why? It means "cashier", the merchant's bank, one out and one in, and one out and one in can make a fortune! Open your mouth, shut your mouth and take the ball in! There are also stone lions carved on the roof eaves of old mansions. Officials are open and businesses are closed. There are two kinds of stone lions carved for the wealth of two big families: officials and businessmen.

There are probably "open source" and "throttling" in it.
