 The tiger is the King of Beasts,
respected by humans and animals alike for its power and dignity. Tiger holds
third place in the Chinese zodiac. During the Han Dynasty, people put images of
tigers on their doorways to ward off misfortune. It is still customary in many
rural areas to dress infants in tiger shoes decorated with endearing cloth tiger
heads.
People's fear of tigers gave rise to the folk saying "Don't pat a tiger on
the ass," meaning "Don't go looking for trouble." The saying "You can't capture
a tiger's cub without entering the tiger's den" indicates that success cannot be
achieved without great risk and effort.
 Characteristics of Tiger
Tiger is the fiercest of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. Tiger
corresponds to Sagittarius in the Western zodiac. People born in the Year of the
Tiger are strong and self-confident by nature, and tend to be risk-takers. They
thrive on challenge and hate to defer to others, preferring to be in charge.
Like the tiger, they convey an air of calm dignity, and will not rest until they
achieve their goals.
