What's the introduction of the Year of the Tiger?

After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the zodiac has become a traditional culture that people can't give up. Whether it is the Han nationality who inherited the tradition of Sui and Tang Dynasties or the Mongolian nationality who came from outside the customs, people can see the 12 zodiac signs in their lives: the opera Tiger Head Card in Yuan Dynasty, the Kunqu Tiger Capsule in Qing Dynasty, the water painting method of the 12 zodiac signs in Yuanmingyuan, the tiger head shoes and the tiger head hat that bless future generations ... Until now, another Year of the Tiger is coming.

According to the traditional geomantic theory, there are many things to pay attention to in the Year of the Tiger. There are also some customs unique to the Year of the Tiger or the people belonging to the tiger. For example, children belonging to tigers can attend the wedding of the couple and "press the bed" for them, but adults belonging to tigers are not suitable for this kind of excitement. In some places, young men and women who belong to the tiger can't be groomsmen or bridesmaids, or even go to weddings or visit pregnant women. ...

Historical records show that:

For a long time, there was no serious conflict between man and tiger. The violent conflict between man and tiger was mostly recorded in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, that is, around 700 AD, and lasted until the Song Dynasty. But after the Song Dynasty, it was hard to see the record of tigers in Shandong.

However, the national human-tiger conflict has not ended. According to historical records, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the tiger suffered a lot. Liu Jingbo's Picture Book of Shu Tortoise in Qing Dynasty records that Sichuan and Shu died of a tiger epidemic at the end of Ming Dynasty, and the severity of the tiger disaster is staggering.
