In ancient cultures such as in Rome, Greece, Assyria, and Mesopotamia, kings and aristocrats hunted lions to show that they were superior to lions. His position as "king of the jungle" and "king of wildlife" makes the lion used as a symbol of the country, a symbol of courage, power, and nobility. The lion is popular as a decoration motif of the king's chair to give the impression that the king sitting on it is stronger than a lion.

In the culture of the Indian subcontinent, lions are also respected animals. The Manjusri statue is depicted riding an Asian lion. Furthermore, the lion is used as a decorative motif on the Bodhisattva seat. A pair of lion statues also began to be placed as a protector of the bodhisattvas.

In China, the lion statue began to be known in line with the entry of Buddhism through the Silk Road. Lions and other rare animals began to be imported as court pets during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han. In the emperor's palace, a lion statue was placed in front of the palace building and the tomb as a protective deity. Although the Chinese already know the actual physical form of the lion, the stone lion maker mixes the stone lion design with the Qilin design or other animals in Chinese legend to become the stone lion model as it is now.

📜The lion is the basis of the lion dances that form part of the traditional Chinese New Year celebrations, and of similar customs in other Asian countries. Chinese guardian lions and their Eastern, Southeastern and Southern Asian counterparts depicted in Chinese art were modeled on the basis of lions found in Indian temples.[100] Buddhist monks, or possibly traders, possibly brought descriptions of sculpted lions guarding the entry to temples in China. Chinese sculptors then used the description to model "Fo-Lions" (Fo (Chinese: 佛) is a character for the Buddha) temple statues after native dogs (possibly the Tibetan Mastiff) by adding a shaggy mane. Depictions of these "Fo-lions" have been found in Chinese religious art as early as 208 BC. The Tibetan Snow Lion (Tibetan: གངས་སེང་གེ་; Wylie: gangs seng ge) is a mythical animal of Tibet. It symbolizes fearlessness, unconditional cheerfulness, the eastern quadrant and the element of Earth. It is said to range over mountains, and is commonly pictured as being white with a turquoise mane. Two Snow Lions appear on the flag of Tibet. Many East Asian languages borrowed from the Sanskrit word for lion.

Cambodia has a native martial art called L-bukkatao (Khmer: ល្បុក្កតោ, Pounding a lion).

The island nation of Singapore (Singapura) derives its name from the Malay words singa (lion) and pura (city), which in turn is from the Sanskrit siṃha (सिंह) and pura (पुर) . According to the Malay Annals, this name was given by a 13th-century Sumatran Malay prince named Sang Nila Utama, who, on alighting the island after a thunderstorm, spotted an auspicious beast on shore that his chief minister identified as an Asiatic lion. Recent studies of Singapore indicate lions have never lived there, unlike the tiger. Therefore, the animal seen by Sang Nila Utama would more likely have been a tiger, though it would be odd for them not to recognize one.
