The tiger has been regarded as an auspicious symbol and ruler of the earth.
In Chinese folktales, tigers are a symbol of protection, taking care of the good and killing the evil spirits. Tiger charms are often worn to keep away harm and disease. Babies are given colorfully embroidered “tiger shoes” for protection, and images of tigers are frequently used to decorate children’s clothing and toys.
