Gold filigree porcelain Chinese Fu dogs with swords in mouth - hand painted

The mythical Foo Dog, also called Fu Dog, or "Shi" in Chinese, is a guardian creature that combines the ferocity of a lion with the loyalty of mans most trusted canine. One of the most recognized Chinese entities, the Foo Dog stands guard outside the dragon seat (the throne room) in the Forbidden City, and at imperial sites throughout China. Originally introduced to China with Buddhism, the Foo Dogs has a close association with the Buddha and Chinese concepts of harmony such as Feng Shui. The Buddha is sometimes depicted riding on the back of a lion, which is often considered the origin of the Foo Dog, which first appears in Chinese arts around 200 BC. Typically seen in male/female pairs, Foo Dogs protect you from negative Chi and promote a balance of Yin and Yang.

Chronicle of the Chinese Emperors

Spanning more than two thousand years, from the first emperor, buried with his terra-cotta army in the third century B.C., to the last emperor, enthroned in the Forbidden City as a boy of four in 1911, Chronicle of the Chinese Emperors presents the entire history of this vast and still mysterious region through the stories of its all-powerful rulers. The Chinese imperial system combined a highly centralized administration with a Confucian philosophy of moral-political beliefs. The emperor was the Son of Heaven and enjoyed semi-divine powers, but he was not infallible: should he fail his subjects, rebellion was justified. The emperors therefore weathered centuries of violent change and, despite brutal revolts and civil wars, remained at the center of the largest political unit in the world, the Middle Kingdom. The emperors were an extraordinary group of men--and one woman, Wu Zetian--whose virtues and faults were magnified by their exalted position. Many were literary scholars and painters (the Song emperor, Huizong, founded an imperial academy of painting). Some were mentally retarde...
