Stone lions are mostly used to dispel evil outside the house, so if you can't put stone lions at the gate, you can usually add a pair of metal lion heads on the gate, which can also play a role in keeping evil away.
2. The lion's head rushes to ward off evil spirits.
Lions are fierce, and their Sha Qi is heavy. Feng shui layout is generally to prevent evil spirits from entering the house, so the lion's head should be outside. If placed in a window, the lion's head must also face out of the window. Stone lions can be placed outside the window sill, but they must be fixed with cement to avoid falling into the street. It is ok to put it in the window, but it should be glued tightly to ensure that the lion's head faces outwards.
3. Don't confuse male and female stone lions.
Shishi is usually a pair of male and female, regardless of left and right, that is, male left and female right. If one of them is broken, a brand-new pair of lions should be replaced immediately, and the remaining one should not be left in its original place.
4. Put them in pairs.
There are also certain rules for the placement of stone lions. Usually, a man and a woman are in pairs, and the left man and the right woman are in line with the theory of yin and yang that men are left and women are right. Shishi has the function of exorcising evil spirits among the people and is generally used as a gatekeeper. The lion placed on the left side of the gate is usually carved on a hydrangea, symbolizing infinite power. On the right, the lioness nestles under her feet, symbolizing the continuation of her children and grandchildren. If you put it in a door, don't face indoors.
5. Put it in the same direction as the five elements of the house.
When placing lions in the houses of enterprises or individuals, we should look at the five elements of their houses and not collide with each other. The lion is Ganbu, living in the northwest, and the five elements belong to gold. So generally speaking, the lion is most effective in the northwest. At the same time, the west is also suitable for placing lions. But not necessarily, the principle is to be compatible with the five elements of the house. In addition, stone lions are generally placed next to the south gate of the house, which can also play the role of avoiding evil spirits and helping luck.
