Xi 'an Terracotta Warriors and Horses, Leizhou Stone Dog Group, "Leizhou Stone Dog is the best in the world"! There are thousands of stone dogs in Leizhou, which are distributed in urban and rural areas. They are different from gods in shape, natural and wonderful, and are the wonders of the world.

Leizhou City is located in the abdomen of Leizhou Peninsula. As early as four or five thousand years ago, human beings flourished in the Neolithic Age. In ancient times, Li, Liao, Yi, Tong, Li and other ethnic minorities lived together. At that time, due to people's primitive ignorance and low social productivity, it was impossible to explain natural impressions and conquer natural disasters. In order to survive and develop, they rely on the totem of everything and turn it into spiritual power. At first, slang people used slang as a totem, boys as a totem, and dogs as a totem, so in the past, the names of their tribe "raccoon, boy, boy" were all added to dogs, and dogs were a symbol of their totem. Later, because their nationalities were engaged in farming and hunting, they adopted dogs that could protect crops and hunt as totems. During the Southern Dynasties and the Chen Dynasty, there was a myth that Lei Zu's father, Chen, had a nine-eared hunting dog and dug a huge egg on the mountain, and Chen took it home. The next day, the egg was split with a thunderbolt, and a boy jumped out, with words written on his palm, "Lei" on the left and "Zhou" on the right. When Lei Zu was born, dogs were worshipped as auspicious gods. People carved stone dogs out of blue stone and placed them in front of ancestral temples and temples. On the first and fifteenth day of each month, they burn incense and drink tea and pray for good luck.

After the Song and Yuan Dynasties, the Han people moved to Leizhou continuously. With the infiltration of religious culture in the Central Plains and the mutual agitation and blending with local culture, the stone dog gradually evolved into a "patron saint" to protect and exorcise evil spirits. At first, it was widely placed in village roads, alleys, gates, oil city parks, tiankeng, Shuikou, cemeteries and other places to exorcise evil spirits and kill demons.

With the development of social civilization, people think that the stone dog guarding the village head lane is fierce and unsightly, so they turn it into a master of ceremonies pet.

With the changes of the times, the stone dogs in Leizhou have changed from totem worship, auspicious news, patron saint spirit to their owners' pets, from simple and rough, simple and elegant to exquisite and elegant, becoming more and more perfect and artistic. Stone dogs either squat, sit, climb or lie down, or are happy or angry or laugh or angry; Some are like people, some are like cats, some are like lions, and some are like Kirin; There are pictures, military pictures, men and women; Concrete, abstract, primitive, modern and so on, everything.

They are ingenious and lifelike, and there are magical and wonderful stories behind the stone dogs in Leizhou, which are widely circulated among the people.
