What is the knowledge of the Year of the Tiger?

The knowledge of the Year of the Tiger includes:

1. First of all, many people born in the Year of the Tiger are called tigers, and even more people are nicknamed "Little Tiger". At first, there was only "Little Tiger", who only wore tiger shoes, hats and pillows on his first birthday. The moral is that "tiger tiger gives birth to power" wishes children to grow up, and this custom gradually develops to apply to all children.

Secondly, during the Dragon Boat Festival in the Year of the Tiger, people often wear Ai Hu, a hand-woven ornament, and draw a king on children's forehead with realgar wine, and then tie it into a tiger-shaped sachet with five-color lines to express their blessings, which has gradually evolved into the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

3. In addition, there is a kind of toy with a cloth tiger in Shaanxi, which is very famous. At first, it was just a full moon gift from my uncle to my nephew born in the Year of the Tiger. It means wishing children grow up to be as powerful as tigers. As time goes by, it gradually evolves into a full moon gift for all children.

The tiger is one of the most formidable mascots;

Tigers originated in China. As early as 2 million years ago, the ancestors of the modern tiger, known as the "ancestor tiger of China", lived on the land of China, and had numerous "intimate" contacts with the ancient ancestors for living space. So when the Chinese nation has a culture, tiger culture also appears.

Tiger culture in China belongs to the category of auspicious culture as a whole. Because the tiger is at the top of the food chain, people have been full of awe and worship of the tiger since ancient times and regard it as one of the most deterrent mascots. In addition, the image of the tiger is not only powerful, but also colorful, with the pattern of "king" in the middle of the forehead, which has a shocking visual effect, so it was praised as "the king of beasts" by the ancients.

2022 is the year of the tiger, and the last year of the tiger is in 20 10. But you still remember which year 20 10 is the year of the tiger-Gengyin Year of the Tiger, and the reason why the two years of the tiger are different.

It is because the ancient calendar of our country marked the year with the branches, and the zodiac is an intuitive representative of the twelve earthly branches, but it must be coordinated with the "ten-day branches". The branches and earthly branches can be coordinated for 60 times, and then return to "Jiazi", so there is a saying that "Jiazi is reincarnation and vicissitudes for 60 years".
