Tiger worship:

The worship of tigers should originate from the totem worship of tigers in Chu culture. The tiger has always been worshipped by the Han people. It is a symbol of justice, courage and majesty. According to textual research, the image of the tiger has appeared in the ancient Qiang and Rong nationalities, but it is the most popular in the southwest of China. The jade cong of Liangzhu culture in Neolithic age is similar to the animal-faced tiger in bronze wares of Yin and Shang dynasties. To this day, the Yi, Bai, Buyi, Tujia and other ethnic groups in China still call tigers their ancestors.

People in the Han Dynasty believed that the tiger was the king of all animals. White tiger is a kind of tiger that can only turn white in 500 years. It is sacred, and immortals often ascend to heaven by tiger. It's the beast of Zhenxi. Since the Han Dynasty, the tiger has always been the favorite protector of the working people, but it is not a symbol of the emperor. After a long historical evolution and development, the cultural awareness of tiger worship has become the common cultural concept of the Chinese nation.
