Pictures Of Foo Dogs, Elephants and Lions in Yard of Stone Masons.


** **

The road from Zhengzhou to Dengfeng passes a series of Stone Mason Yards in which are displayed Chinese Lions, elephants, tortoises and Foo Dogs. Foo Dogs, or Guardian Lions, are recurring themes in Chinese culture and are said to bring happiness and good fortune. Foo Dogs are considered to give desirable protection to the home or business. The guardian lions are positioned at entrances; the female lion holds a cub under her paw whilst the male lion holds a globe.

The Foo Dog originated in China getting its name from the city of FooChow. The Foo Dog became the Chinese Guardian Lion, with a rich history in Chinese art, legend and traditions. The Chinese lion is often called the Dog of Foo, Foo being the Chinese word for happiness.

This Great Wall China picture shows the view looking down from one of the towers to the bottom landing, from where we started our climb. The Great Wall China picture does not show the sections without steps, nor the steps on the steeper parts with uneven heights. The handrails were highly polished from much use.

Joke shared by Happy People spending leisure time in Park at Changsha on a Sunday break. Robert's wild card about three young Chinese men who have derived some benefit from the increase in the number of tourists visiting China. Xiao Cheng 1 and Xiao Cheng 2 were both waiters, and Xiao Zhang a barman in the Furama Hotel in Changsha. Happy people sharing a joke in park at Changsha
On a visit to a Farmer's Market near the Temple of Heaven we saw this bearded man who had arrived on a bike almost as old as his 87 years. Adding his image to the pictures of old people in Beijing was no problem, but he requested that copies be sent to him. It was difficult to assess his true age, not that it mattered, for old people of whatever age are well respected in China.
