January 2011 UTC While it has undoubtedly taken much time for you to write the above paragraph the fact remains that much of the content is original research as well as unfounded assumptions cobbled together to form text and content that does not belong in wikipedia For a paragraph which contains so many assertions of causations example It is believed that the Chow Chow breed of Chinese dogs is one of the native dogs used as the original model for the creation of Chinese guardian lions in ancient China when no one had ever seen a real Asiatic lion before which were however quite common in neighboring India you have to cite it with something substantial such as an academic paper that supports this position As well it is very bad form to create your content only then try to find references to support the content example PLEASE HELP FIND REFERENCES TO BETTER THE ARTICLE There is no doubt that Lions are not native to Ancient China but live and pelt specimens of lions have been introduced to China as rare imperial gifts during the Han dynasty from Central Asia and Persia Due to their rarity and significance their figures and likenesses have been recorded in textual descriptions It was also during this time that Buddhism and its symbols along with the lion entered into China likely reinforcing the significance of the animal Furthermore it is unclear if the Chinese placed lions in front of buildings due to the Indian temples but the fact remains that almost all the ancient Central Asian kingdoms and empires used lions in similar manners It is inaccurate to state that the guardian lions were learned from India since it may have been natively invented or learned from any of the Parthia Sogdiana Samarkand or Yuezhi cultures For these reasons I have again removed this paragraph and again gone in the direction of making this article more a disambiguation page which directs the readers to other articles better suited to detail the topics of their interests 22 28 13
