In the past, in Anping old street, each house would hang a SwordLion on the door frame or the walls became the identification of the resident, they have different facial expressions, none of them are identical. Currently, there are only 30 to 40 Sword Lions left in Anping. I wish to preserve this unique culture totem and let the world know.
