Non-hereditary inheritor Shi Jiangtao:

This green lion is related to the culture of Nüwa, who is busy making up the sky, letting the green lion descend the black dragon, and after descending the black dragon, she is afraid of the black dragon's remorse, so let the green lion guard the front gate of the palace. The production process continues the craftsmanship of the Song Dynasty, basically made of coarse cloth, rattan cut from the mountain, including some cotton cloth and cotton paper. It basically takes about three months to be a lion's head.
