Dijun's palace statues

[china_shop]

Does anyone know if these are traditional Chinese statues or variations thereof, and if so, what they're called? I'm writing a Zhao Yunlan POV fic, and I don't want to describe the statues with outsiders' eyes if they're something he should recognise.


Image: The Dijun's palace throne room. Two towering black statues of figures standing on crouching animals.

I was wondering if the animals were guardian lions? Is it common for there to be statues of people standing on animals (I couldn't find any examples via Google)? Even if Zhao Yunlan didn't known the creatures/figures, would he find the style familiar?

Much thanks in advance!

Summary:

“And what do you wish for?” Zhao Yunlan returns the question without thinking.

Instead of replying, Shen Wei says: “Kunlun, may I ask you for something?”

“Anything, Shen Wei.”

In Old Haixing, Shen Wei and Kunlun talk about their wishes.
