What year of the zodiac is 2022?
Yinhu, one of the zodiac signs, is the third earthly branch. The tiger is called the king of beasts. It is fierce and powerful, and it is the most active, fierce and harmful animal in Yin Shi.
The animal faces of jade cong in Liangzhu culture and bronzes in Yin and Shang dynasties in Neolithic age are similar to those of white tiger, and the worship of white tiger should come from the worship of tiger totem in Chu culture.
The tiger has always been worshipped by the Han people, and it is a symbol of justice, courage and majesty. People in the Han Dynasty believed that the tiger was the king of all animals. White tiger is a kind of tiger that can only turn white in 500 years. It is a sacred object, and immortals often ascend to heaven by tiger, which is a beast in the west of town. Since the Han Dynasty, the tiger has always been the favorite protector of the working people, but it is not a symbol of the emperor. After a long historical evolution and development, the cultural awareness of tiger worship has become the common cultural concept of the Chinese nation.
