Year of the Tiger

Published January 20, 2022

As we Welcome the Chinese New Year Of The Tiger, we uncover the meaning, luck, rituals’, and cultural mythical stories this Zodiac brings.

The Tiger is known as the king of all beasts in China, it’s a character of strength, exorcising evils, and braveness. People born in the year of the Tiger are friendly, brave, competitive, charming and endowed with good luck and authority. With indomitable fortitude and great confidence, the tiger people can be competent leaders. On the other side, they are likely to be impetuous, irritable, overindulged and love to boast to others.

The Tiger ranks third among the animals of the Chinese zodiac. The 12 zodiac animals are, in order: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, and Pig. Each year is related to an animal sign according to a 12-year-cycle

THE TALE OF THE GREAT RACE FROM A HARDWORKING, HONEST ANIMAL.

According to mythological stories, a race was held to determine which animal, in which order, would be the namesakes of the twelve-year cycle. The race was run and swum, with the finishing line being beyond a large river. The Rat and the Ox crossed the river easily, with the Ox due to being large, powerful, and adept both on land and in water, the Rat asked the good-natured Ox for a ride on its back, but then ungratefully jumped off at the last minute to cross the finish line first. 

The Tiger was sure that was going to win, but ended up placing third. Thus, Tigers are incredibly competitive people, known for their fearlessness and ambition. Tigers are ambitious, but they’re also incredibly generous with a drive to help others. Tigers want to win but they’re also always seeking justice.

MYTHOLOGY

According to tales and myths, the beginning of the Chinese New Year began with a mythical beast called the Nian during the annual Spring Festival. It was known that the Nian would eat villagers in the middle of the night. One year, the villagers decided to hide from the monster. An old man said that he would stay the night and take revenge on the Nian. All the villagers thought he was crazy. The old man put red scrolls up and set off firecrackers. The following day, the villagers came back and saw that nothing had been destroyed and they felt that the old man was a deity who came to save them, the villagers then understood the Nian was afraid of the colour red and loud noises. So the tradition grew that when New Year was approaching, the villagers would wear red clothes, hang red lanterns, and red spring scrolls on windows and doors. People also used firecrackers to frighten away the Nian. From then on, Nian never came to the village again.
