The tiger is a large carnivorous feline that originated in Asia. It is a powerful, agile and fierce animal that ranks at the top of the food chain and is known as the "King of Animals". As early as a million years ago, the tiger has existed with the Chinese ancestors. In traditional Chinese culture, the tiger has been regarded as a symbol of courage, strength and wealth, as well as a protective god to help eliminate evil. Humans have given the tiger the qualities of "courage" and "majesty", so they respect and love the tiger. The tiger is included in the "12 Chinese Zodiac" and is applied to many aspects of life.
