Abstract：This paper presents an artistic historical research on images of a battling lion and bull， which can be seen in illustrations of Raudraksa’s contest with Sariputra in Dunhuang murals. After combing through the history of related images in ancient China， it can be concluded that the theme was introduced into China by the cultural thoroughfare along the Silk Road. The underlying theme of this image originated from scenes of lions hunting in natural habitats and was widely popular in ancient Eurasia. Extending outward from the Silk Road， this paper traces the development of battling lion and bull images and proposes several ideas as to the symbolic meaning of this motif.

Keywords：battling lion and bull; Raudraksa's contest with Sariputra; symbolic implication; cultural exchange
