Introduction to the meaning of tiger:

In China, the tiger is known as the "king of beasts", not only because it is born with the "king" on its forehead, but also because of its incomparable powerful image.

Tigers originated in China, so they have established a close relationship with China people for a long time, which makes China people have a worship complex for tigers since primitive times, especially in South China, Northeast China and other places where China tigers used to be densely distributed.

In the long history of nearly a million years, the tiger was once the "king of beasts" widely distributed in the vast areas across Eurasia from the Mediterranean in the west, Heilongjiang in the east, Siberia in the north and Indonesia in the south. It is precisely because of this that the tiger has profoundly accumulated and fermented its heroism, strong domineering and fierce character in the historical process of the development of human civilization.

Since ancient times, people have used the image of the tiger to convey their love and blessings. The image of the tiger reflects their pursuit and attachment, and regards the image of the tiger as the spiritual support of the majestic power. The ever-victorious generals who swept the whole army and gained great prestige were called "tiger generals", the brave warriors who fought bravely and charged ahead were called "tigers", and the ministers who were brave and resolute and did not commit adultery were called "tiger ministers".
