Gao Gushi has a high degree of artistry in terms of artifact modeling, decorative patterns, and ornamentation, reflecting the aesthetic charm of the time. But friends often ask questions about generational discontinuities, which in itself is not a question of energyization. Some friends say that they look at the proportions of the body, the ornaments on the body, the angle of the legs, the placement of the tail, the texture of the stones, and so on. But these cannot be rote. It is still necessary to look more, to understand the characteristics of the lions in the museum that have been broken for a long time, to feel the charm, and to achieve "looking at a thousand instruments and recognizing the instruments".

In the nearly two thousand years of Chinese lion modeling art history, lion modeling can be roughly divided into the stage of divine beasts, the stage of realism, and the stage of pets.
