What are some short stories about the origin of the Year of the Tiger?

Stories about the origin of the Year of the Tiger:

Legend has it that the tiger is the real king of the jungle, with high martial arts and is in charge of all the animals in the world. The jade emperor heard that the tiger was brave, so he recruited it to the sky and made it a guardian in front of the temple. Who knows, it didn't take long for the birds and animals on the ground to see that no one was in charge and began to run amok, which brought disaster to the world.

This shocked the heaven, and the jade emperor sent a tiger to earth. The tiger asked for every victory, and the Jade Emperor readily agreed. When he came to the room, the tiger learned that lions, bears and horses were the three most powerful animals at that time, so he deliberately challenged them.

With the tiger's bravery and superb martial arts, they defeated one after another. Others fled to the uninhabited forest wilderness to hide, and the world was full of joy. Thank the tiger for its great contribution to the world. Back in the sky, the jade emperor carved three horizontal lines on his forehead because the tiger won three brothers in a row.

Later, when choosing the Zodiac, the Jade Emperor named the tiger one of the Zodiac, and asked him to return to earth again to protect the mountain forest and keep the lower world safe forever.

Year of the tiger algorithm

The Year of the Tiger is counted from beginning of spring in the twenty-four solar terms, because the year of the Zodiac is attached to the year of the dry branch, which is the year method of the dry branch calendar. The same is true of the official almanac of past dynasties (that is, the Yellow Calendar). There is no doubt that the lunar calendar only uses branches to mark the year, which ranges from the first day of the first month to New Year's Eve.

Lunar calendar and trunk calendar are two different calendars, which are different in the starting point of a year, the division rules of months and the number of days in each year. Due to the use of the Gregorian calendar after the Republic of China, many people, including a few so-called experts, lack calendar knowledge, so the two are often confused.
