明代是以漢族統治中國，在奪取蒙古族的政權之后，提出了“恢復中華”，亦即恢復漢民族的文化傳統。這樣，也促進了造型藝術之一的雕塑的發展。但是在唐末五代和宋代已經形成的向往盛唐和學習盛唐的社會傾向，明代仍然繼續，并且由學習盛唐降格為學習唐、宋。我們從現存的很多制作中，也可以證明這一事實。
The Ming dynasty ruled China with the Han nationality. After seizing the power of the Mongolian nationality, it proposed to "restore China", that is, restore the cultural tradition of the Han nationality. In this way, it also promotes the development of sculpture, one of the plastic arts. However, in the late Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasty, the social tendency of yearning for and learning from the prosperous Tang Dynasty continued in the Ming Dynasty, and the learning from the prosperous Tang Dynasty was reduced to learning from the Tang and Song dynasties. We can also prove this fact from many existing productions.
中國古代工匠創作了數以萬計的各種不同類型的石雕獅子，分站式和蹬坐兩大類，早其形狀多兇猛異常、宋以后獅子形態溫馴，有些造型類似寵物狗。上古時代的獅子大多類似于獅虎之間。《爾雅》中載：獅子是“狻猊”，《穆天子傳》說“狻猊”日走五百里。我國古代沒有獅子，獅子都是從西域不遠萬里進貢而來，到達中原十分不易，獅子性猛且脾氣暴烈，喜熱帶非洲草原，在我國不易豢養，顯得十分珍貴，因而被皇室豢養在深宮大內，普通老百姓很難見到。
Ancient Chinese craftsmen created tens of thousands of different types of stone lions. They were divided into two categories: stand-alone and pedal sitting. As early as the Song Dynasty, the shapes of lions were fierce and unusual. After the Song Dynasty, lions were docile, and some were similar to pet dogs. Lions in ancient times were mostly similar to lions and tigers《 It is recorded in Erya that the lion is the "lion dragon". According to the biography of the son of mu, the "lion dragon" travels 500 miles a day. There were no lions in ancient China. Lions came from the western regions and paid tribute thousands of miles. It was very difficult to reach the Central Plains. Lions were fierce and had a violent temper. They liked the tropical African grassland. They were not easy to keep in China and were very precious. Therefore, they were kept by the royal family in the deep palace, which was difficult for ordinary people to see.
在古代，民間雕匠對獅子的形象認識非常模糊，大都是根據伺養人口授和工匠自己通過想象創造出來的一種半獅半虎的動物。
In ancient times, the folk sculptors had a very vague understanding of the image of the lion. Most of them were half lion and half tiger animals created by the craftsmen themselves through imagination according to the breeding population.
由于獅子性猛兇狠的特點，漢魏以來常被視著驅逐精怪的瑞獸而被皇室用用于宮殿鎮宅，也置放于陵寢以保護墓主。到了唐宋以后，民間百姓對獅子的喜愛程度更是家喻戶曉，大門兩旁分別配置石獅，門前拴馬樁上雕石獅，坑頭或席鎮無不以獅子為籃本雕刻出千姿百態，大小不等的各類不同風格的獅子。
Due to the ferocious nature of lions, since the Han and Wei dynasties, they have often been regarded as auspicious beasts to expel spirits and monsters, which have been used by the royal family for palaces and houses, and also placed in tombs to protect tomb owners. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, the people's love for lions was well-known. Stone lions were equipped on both sides of the gate. Stone lions were carved on horse stakes in front of the gate. All Kengtou or Xizhen took lions as baskets to carve lions of different styles in various shapes and sizes.
此件石雕獅子，尺寸雖小，但造型強捍兇猛，鬣毛線條雕刻流暢自如。這一類小形石獅大多是古人用于置放案頭把玩或作為坑頭席鎮之用。
Although the size of this stone lion is small, its shape is strong and fierce, and the lines of hyena hair are carved smoothly. Most of these small stone lions were used by the ancients to put their desks for fun or as pit seats.
