What do the two tiger years mean?

The Year of the Tiger refers to the year in the Chinese lunar calendar that begins with "Yin" and is celebrated every 12 years. The culture associated with the Chinese Zodiac has a long history in China and has been given a high cultural connotation since ancient times. The tiger, as a representative animal in traditional Chinese culture, is known as a brave and powerful animal, and enjoys the reputation of "King of Beasts". Therefore, the Year of the Tiger is also a symbol of courage, might and power.

There have been several Years of the Tiger in Chinese history, the most famous of which are the Year of the Tiger of the Longshan Culture, which is about 2,000 years old, and the Year of the Yin in 1962. The Year of the Tiger of the Longshan Culture is based on archaeological discoveries and represents the splendor of ancient culture and the rise of modern civilization, which is of great historical significance. The Year of the Yin in 1962, on the other hand, is considered to be an important inflection point in Chinese history, marking a major political, economic and cultural transition in China. Therefore, both tiger years carry important moments and significance in Chinese history.

The Year of the Tiger is an important cultural celebration in China, and various forms of celebrations are organized everywhere. For example, in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, temple fairs and garden tours are organized locally for the Year of the Tiger, attracting large numbers of visitors. In Quanzhou, Fujian Province, temple stampedes and Year of the Tiger cultural performances are organized to show the world the strong religious culture and traditional festival culture. The arrival of the Year of the Tiger allows every Chinese person to feel the strong cultural heritage and folklore.
