In Chinese culture, many traditional buildings have e.g. lions guarding the
main entrance or other `fierce' creatures placed e.g. on a building.
Thus, in my opinion, the "Gargoyles" that you had mentioned, served a
similar purpose in some `western' buildings.
For the Chinese, it is quite common to find a pair of dragons or a dragon
"guarding" each side of the roof. However, this is usually found on temple
roofs only. Most homes do not use such figurines.
In Feng Shui, if it is a `public' building e.g. Chinese Chamber of Commerce
Building or other public buildings that has a traditional touch, would
usually place two lions on each side of the main entrance.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

> My question is about Gargoyles.
> I have hear that to place them at the entrance of a building or path
leading into a building is suppose to ward of bad luck or negative energy. I
have not read anything about them in reference to Feng Shui.
> I have read they were a mythical character first created for roof top
corners and were used as water sprouts to direct rain away from buildings,
their name coming from a similar french word for "spout" or "throat".
> Do they have any significants in regard to Feng Shui? and if so where
would they be best placed? Would they resemble the Dragon or Lion?
