The lion is usually found in front of Daoist temples and monasteries to symbolize the infinite. Lions are always shown in pairs, one female and one male. The female is shown with a lion cub below her foot and the male with a silk ball beneath his. The Daoist interpretation of the symbols is that the male symbolizes the spirit and the female the prosperity and spread of Daoism.</font></p>
