Tiger is a very special animal in Chinese Culture. The pattern on the fore head of a tiger is very similar to the Chinese character which means “king”, so Chinese people believe that tiger must be the natural-born king. Here are some interesting stories about the Tiger.
When the tiger arrived at the human world, the tiger learned the lion, bear and the horse are the strongest animals. So the tiger challenged them and won. When the other evil beasts heard this, they all hide in a forest of where no one leaves and was never seen again.
People born in the Year of the Tiger are generally well liked because of their charming personalities. Often, failing at a given task or being umproductive in his personal or professional life can cuase a Tiger to experience a deep depression.
To the Chinese, it is the start of the Golden Tiger Year. The Tiger is the third sign in the cycle of Chinese Zodiac, which consists of 12 animal signs. It is a sign of courage.
