傳統紙紮品多以祭祀之用而被燒毁；陶瓷卻因高溫燒製後變得堅固，且成為留存不同文明與文化的證明。獅頭作為本土紮作文化的重要標誌，這兩種物料的碰撞使紙紮獅頭被永久保存下來，也隱喻了對本土文化的祈願。
Traditional paper crafts are mostly burnt after the use for sacrificial offerings, while ceramics becomes solid after high-temperature firing, these two forms of craft acted as a prove for different civilizations. The paper lion is an important symbol of the local paper crafting tradition. By merging these materials and their hidden meanings, these lions could be kept forever. This implied the wish for a long-lasting local culture.
