Fu Lion fubar

Two Fu Lions sit outside of Chinatown gate. This doesn't come as a surprise, you might say. But I've noticed something that is sure to get the tempest brewing. A hard hitting, action story that must be told. I can almost hear the propulsive music in the background as the stay-tuned announcement is made. The guardians are placed backwards.

Jackob Jelling, of the Hills of Beverly, insists that the male goes stage left. I know what you're thinking, and the answer is no. You can tell the sex by what's under their forepaw. The experts over at Geomancy agree as to left/right, but bring the compass heading into it. (it's all wrong, bad qi). Over at Fung Shui best buy, nobody seems to have an opinion, but their prepared to sell you three fengsiye lions each carrying its auspicious object just in case. Dragon Gateway is, of course, prepared to do a lunar chart to ensure all this is according to best practices. The funny thing is, the builders at Forbidden City in Beijing got theirs backward too.
