The taboo of putting stone lions at the door
1, add a lion's head to the gate.
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.
