I saw two stone lions standing in front of enterprises and banks. Why does one mouth open and the other shut up? What does this mean?

Folk lion is a town house animal. It also has the function of avoiding evil spirits. The lion is the king of beasts and is often used to symbolize holiness, dignity and majesty. Folks regard lions as auspicious animals and think they can exorcise evil spirits. Therefore, carved or embossed stone lions are common in many pagodas, bridges, temples, government offices, gardens and houses. Others think: "the stone is real, the lion thinks, it is not easy for the predecessors to start a business, so it is hard to say." The shape of the stone lion also reflects the desire of many old ancestors to keep pace with the times, such as the most common colored ball at the foot of the lion, with lanterns tied to pray for peace; And some colored balls are engraved with ancient coins, which naturally means praying for wealth; The little lion at the foot of the lioness embodies the scene of harmony between parents and children, which is the performance of China's emphasis on family relations; Some lions have beads in their mouths, and temples are the most common, meaning "ball". As for the others, holding a sword in their mouth and gossiping at their feet means to eliminate disasters and exorcise evil spirits. And the lion's mouth is open and closed, which means exhaling. The lions in front of the bank have their mouths closed one by one, a male and a female. Zhang is lucky, and Guan is keeping money. Money only means eating, not vomiting. This means making ends meet.

Folk lion is a town house animal. It also has the function of ward off evil spirits, and the lion's mouth is open and closed, which means to breathe out. Some people put Kirin, which is also a god beast, and it is helpful for Feng Shui, especially for people whose gates are facing water (rivers).

The lion's mouth in front of the bank is closed one by one. Zhang is lucky, and closing the door is to keep money. Money only means eating, not vomiting.

There are stone lions on both sides of the front entrance of the ancient temple, and the lion opens his mouth and looks at the believers coming and going; The lioness keeps her mouth shut to protect her children, which shows the characteristics of traditional society that men are superior to women and perform their duties.

I also heard a saying that they were chanting the Buddha's number, an "A" and an "Mi".
