What does the white tiger mean?

It is said that the white tiger has many magical powers, such as warding off evil spirits, avoiding disasters, praying for blessings, punishing evil and promoting good, getting rich and getting married. It is also a god of war. According to the theory of five elements, it is a spirit beast representing the west. Because the west belongs to gold and white, it is called the white tiger representing autumn.

The White Tiger (worshiping hǔ) is one of the four spirits in China ancient mythology, which originated from the worship of ancient stars. Western gods represent seven nights in Shao Hao and the West. It is a symbol of the four elephants, the autumn in the four seasons and the western paradise. ?

It is also one of the five beasts in Huainanzi, namely the Four Spirits of Heaven and Huanglong, also known as the Five Beasts of Heaven. People think that Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu created the world and are the masters of heaven and earth.

The theory of divination rose in the Han Dynasty, and its symbolic meaning added soldiers, Geng Xin and Yi Di. After the Han Dynasty, Taoism absorbed him as the protector of the law and called him the guardian of soldiers.
