There's a sentence that says Fu is Chinese for 'happiness', but the entry for Fu doesn't indicate that. Can someone verify? Donutz 04:18, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

福 fú does in fact mean "happiness" or "good fortune". --Dpr 07:20, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

The reference to African lions seems wrong. Lions are also found in Asia (e.g., India).

Can someone stick up a redirection page under the title "Fu Lion". I would, but my Wiki-Fu is not best.58.186.71.52 13:16, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Done. howch e ng {chat} 17:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nurturing?

A Chinese told me that the female lion is in fact nurturing her cub by her left paw. Could someone verify. 85.124.40.135 16:53, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stone ball in the mouth

My parents once told me that the stone ball found in the lions' mouth was for good luck. Essentially, people would roll it around and after enough time, it would erode and fall out. If it fell out when you rolled it, that was extremely good luck. It's a good factoid to put in this article, but I can't seem to find a citation anywhere. howch e ng {chat} 03:49, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

If it rolls out while you are rolling it, you're most likely to get fined for damaging public property. Not good luck! 8-) --Sumple (Talk) 02:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
