① Do you know anyone born in the Year of the Tiger? Are they brave, strong, purposeful and energetic? If so, then they are a typical “tiger”.

② The tiger has been a cultural symbol in China since long ago. It’s believed to be the king of all animals, as the patterns on its forehead look like the Chinese character for “king”. So the tiger was seen as a symbol of royalty（皇族）and power in ancient times. The tiger talisman（虎符）is one such example. The tiger talisman, which has two halves, was used by the emperor to transfer troops（调兵遣将）. When the emperor wanted to transfer troops, his messenger（信 使）brought half of the talisman and matched it with the other held by the general. Only when the two halves were matched can troops be transferred.

③ Besides cultural symbols, the tiger is quite meaningful in the Chinese and English languages. In English, if someone “catches a tiger by the tail（尾 巴）”, it means he is in a dangerous situation. The Chinese phrase “Paper tiger” describes a person who is only strong on the outside. As one of the most fierce（凶猛的）animals in nature, the tiger has developed a similarly strong image in different cultures.

④ For the Chinese people, the tiger has been the symbol of protection for its strength and power as well. After the birth of a child, parents often put on a tiger hat and tiger shoes on the baby as a way to keep dangers away from their beloved child.

⑤ The tiger is also a common cultural symbol in the West. Tigger（跳跳虎）in the cartoon Winnie and Pooh is strong and energetic. In the book Life of Pi, the writer chose a tiger as the partner for Indian boy Pi on his journey   in the Pacific Ocean. The fierce tiger was a symbol of the boy’s wish to live on.

⑥ May the strong and heroic tiger lift the world out of trouble and sickness into happiness and health. Happy the Year of the Tiger!
