Abstract
The eastward spread of Buddhism introduced the lion shape as a Buddhist dharma protector into the mainland. With the localization development of the stone lion shape, it had a great impact on the stone animal shape in the stone carvings of the tombs of the Liang Dynasty. The "marriage" of the two styles of Buddhist ideal and imperial mausoleum program created the brilliance of the stone carvings of Liang mausoleum and cast a permanent monument in the history of Chinese sculpture.
