Comment

In ancient China, people often engraved ferocious beasts on wooden signs to ward off evil spirits. Feng Shui masters believed that lions were auspicious beasts, so most of the animal signs were engraved with the image of a lion biting a sword. Lion bite swords are decorated on doors, walls, and illuminated walls for blessing, avoiding evil spirits or stopping evil spirits.
