Sayings About Tiger
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.
