The Legend of the Chinese Foo Dogs
To understand the meaning of the Foo Dog earrings, it helps to know the mythic stories behind these mythical guardians. Chinese Foo Dogs, also known as Lion Dogs or Imperial Guardian Lions, are a traditional Chinese architectural decoration seen guarding imperial palaces, temples, government offices and the homes of the nobility and wealthy.
According to Chinese legend, Foo Dogs ward off evil influences and protect those within their domain. Usually made in pairs, the male Foo Dog holds a ball under his right paw representing divine protection of the world, while the female holds a puppy representing nurturing and care. Together they balance Yin and Yang.
There are many stories about the origins of the Foo Dogs. A famous legend tells of an emperor who had a dream of a creature with the head of a lion and the body of a dog that protected his palace from monsters that came from another world. He then had stone Imperial Guardian Lions carved and placed around his grounds.
Another legend says that monks went to India or Nepal and brought back stone guardian lions and the Chinese created their own protective statues. Over time these myths and mystique made Foo Dog guardians highly valued for their supposed protective powers.
Foo Dogs in Ancient Chinese Culture
In ancient China, these mythical but benevolent animals were an integral part of ceremonial practices and imperial imagery as symbols of wisdom, protection and power. Emperors who considered themselves to be the Chinese Lion God saw Foo Dogs as their earthly representatives.
Commoners would keep Foo Dog statues or pendants for safety. Foo Dogs were carved into temples, tombs and government buildings as talismans against fire, thieves and ghosts.
Today Foo Dogs remind us of ancient Chinese mythology and still ward off harm. They also mean courage, trust and compassion. No wonder their image is still being made into jewelry, décor, architecture and art to keep Chinese heritage alive. These Chinese Foo Dog Copper Disc Earrings let you add symbolic meaning and old world charm to your style or gift someone beautiful protection from legend.
