  • Chinese guardian lions or Imperial guardian lions, often miscalled `Foo Dogs` in the West, are a common representation of the lion in imperial China. Chinese guardian lions are sometimes referred to in English as shishi, from the Chinese shí shÄ« Chinese: 石獅; pinyin: shíshÄ«; literally: `stone lion`, which refers specifically to lion sculptures in stone.
