Speaking of Tiger in the Year of the Tiger

The Year of the Ox is about to pass, and the Year of the Tiger is coming. The diligent old scalper is about to return home with great honor, and the majestic tiger is about to make his debut. I created "Speaking of Ox in the Year of the Ox" in the Year of the Ox, and now I will do another "Speaking of the Tiger in the Year of the Tiger".

Tiger is a ferocious carnivore that is declining year by year and is a key national protection target. We must love it, protect it, and keep it alive. No matter how brave you are, you should not "pluck teeth from the tiger's mouth", let alone "seek skin from the tiger". Never imitate Sun Wukong and use tiger skin to make clothes. If you really want to show your bravery, you might as well go "stroking the tiger's beard". This is not illegal and will not harm the tiger, but be careful if the tiger bites your finger.

The social status of the tiger is one level lower than that of the lion, the king of beasts. But people rarely pay attention to it except for the lion dance for festive occasions. But he has a unique preference for tigers. Common sayings, novels, and even myths and legends rarely mention lions, but tigers are everywhere.

Children have an indissoluble bond with tigers since they are born. People praise him as "tiger head and tiger brain" because he is fat; some even have a pair of cute little tiger teeth; they wear "tiger head hat" when wearing hats and "tiger shoes" when wearing shoes; some even have bellybands. Embroider a tiger head. Many children's nicknames are related to tigers, which is said to be auspicious. It’s even worse when you grow up. Walking with long strides is called “tiger steps”; being brave is called “tiger courage”; being strong is called “tiger back and waist”; having a bit of adventurous spirit is called “dare to break into the dragon’s pond and tiger’s den”; being energetic is called “tiger” "Tiger has spirit"; when the ability is great, it is called "like tiger with wings". Being a general is a hundred times more valuable. Those who can win battles are known as "tiger generals"; if they put on airs, they are said to have "tiger generals"; the tent where the general works is called "the barracks"; discussing military matters in the tent is naturally It is "talking about war in the barracks"; wielding a sword is called "tiger and tiger make wind"; charging into battle is called "tiger descending the mountain"; throwing down the enemy is called "hungry tiger pounces on food". There is no ambiguity when you are unlucky, either "the tiger falls in peace" or "the tiger is thin and ambitious." In short, we cannot do without the word "tiger".

Many of the heroes in the novel are famous for tigers or are related to tigers. Taking "Water Margin" as an example, there are several heroes who became famous for fighting tigers. Wu Erlang's drunken fight against a tiger in Jingyanggang is well known to every household, including women and children. He himself often boasts that "I am the one who beats the tiger and fights the pine". Li Kui took his mother to Liangshan, but she was eaten by a tiger on the way. Li Kui became so angry that he killed four tigers in a row, which is rare in ancient and modern times. Xie Zhen and Xie Bao caught a tiger and were about to ask for a reward from the county government. Unexpectedly, they were deceived by the bully Taigong Mao, who threatened to kill them both, so the two brothers were forced to go to jail. Among the one hundred and eight generals on the mountain, nearly 10% are nicknamed with the character "tiger". Such as "Tiger Fighting General" Li Zhong, "Winged Tiger" Lei Heng, "Jinmao Tiger" Yan Shun, "Dwarf Tiger" Wang Ying, "Tiaojian Tiger" Chen Da, "Flower Tiger" Gong Wang, "Bing Xiang Tiger" "Big Chong" Xue Yong, "Smiling Tiger" Zhu Fu, "Blue Eyed Tiger" Li Yun, and the female general "Mother Big Chong" Gu Sister-in-law, etc. This shows that they have great admiration for tigers. Otherwise, how could they take tiger as their nickname? Rong.

In myths and legends, tigers are also popular. Many fairy mountain caves are guarded by tigers instead of lions. In "Feng Shen Bang", Shen Gongbao rides a tiger to fight; There is a "Tiger Arhat"; in "Journey to the West" there is a "Tiger Power Immortal" who is very capable and dares to fight with the Monkey King; in "Liao Zhai" there is Cui Meng who is unable to avenge his father's murder. Transformed into a tiger in the temple and bit off the head of the enemy bully; "Zhao Cheng Tiger" accidentally ate the son of an old woman, was succumbed to the official law, driven by "conscience", regarded the old woman as his mother, and often gave prey to the old woman to make her Acupuncture doctor Yin Tianli lost his way at night and was intercepted by the tiger brothers "Class 2". He cured his mother's disease. He not only entertained her and gave her gifts, but when the doctor was surrounded by wolves, he was about to die. On this occasion, the "Second Class" showed their true colors, hunted and killed the wolves and sent them home; the tiger spirit "Miao Sheng" and a group of scholars had a night banquet in the mountains and forests. They had a big bowl of wine and a large piece of meat and ate happily. Unexpectedly, the scholars shook their heads and shook their heads. The poem was full of sourness, but Miao Sheng refused to listen and couldn't bear it. He suddenly roared and turned into a tiger, frightening everyone and leaving calmly. Although the tigers in the above stories are ferocious in appearance, they are actually kind-hearted. , quite respectable and cute. Of course, a tiger is a tiger after all, and you can protect it, but you must not be careless and suffer harm.

Based on the hard work of the old scalpers and the all-round majesty of the tiger, I believe that the Year of the Tiger will still be a good year. Let us boldly step on the tiger’s back and give the tiger a double blessing. Wings, let’s leap forward!

Another year has passed by in a blink of an eye, and the Year of the Ox has passed, and the Year of the Tiger has arrived.

The tiger is known as the king of beasts. The clouds follow the dragon and the wind follows the tiger. "It roars like a thousand mountains and shakes all the beasts with its roar." Striking eyes, white forehead, majestic appearance, strong bones, mottled patterns, leering at the world, the style of a king. Just looking at the idioms, such as watching the tiger with eager eyes, talking about the tiger changing color, letting the tiger return to the mountain, riding the tiger but finding it difficult to dismount, etc., are intimidating. But after all, humans are the spirit of all things, so there is no need to talk about being a tiger. Wu Song killed a tiger on Jingyang Hill and was called a tiger-killing hero. Liu Ji has an article "Speaking of Tigers" saying that tigers are powerful and have sharp claws and teeth, but they are hunted and killed because tigers do not know how to use wisdom and do not rely on external forces but only their own strength. If they act recklessly, they will inevitably lead to failure. . What's more, Feng Menglong tells a story about a shrewd and charming tiger in "Jin Gu Gui Tan". The cunning ape flattered the tiger and finally killed the tiger. A small ape can kill a tiger, so why be afraid? Today, the tiger is on the verge of extinction and is listed as a world-class protected animal. Let alone hitting it, you can't even touch the tiger's butt. It is said that there are only a hundred wild tigers in the world. If we do not protect them properly, I am afraid that children will have to imitate cats and draw tigers in the future.

The legend about tigers has been circulating for a long time. It is said that in ancient times, disaster suddenly came to the world, leaving Fuxi and Nuwa. In order to reproduce human beings, Fuxi covered his face with a straw hat, and Nuwa dressed up as a tiger and rolled Acting as matchmakers and sworn marriages allowed the Chinese nation to thrive. "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" tells the story about tigers. A long time ago, there was a peach grove on a beautiful mountain. The two brothers Shen Tu and Yu Lei were looking after the peach grove. They were extremely powerful and skilled. They tamed the tigers on the mountain and guarded the flourishing branches. Leafy peach grove. It's harvest season again, and a group of evil spirits rush up the mountain in an attempt to seize the ripe peaches. The two brothers led a group of tigers to resist. The elder brother knocked down the evil ghost with a peach wood stick, and the younger brother tied the evil ghost with a reed rope and let the tigers eat the evil ghost. The names of Shen Tu and Yu Lei spread throughout the world, and they were revered as door gods by future generations. The tiger also became famous, becoming the nemesis of evil spirits and the protector in people's hearts. Ying Shao of the Han Dynasty said in "Customs and Customs": "The tiger is the yang, the leader of all beasts, capable of fighting and eating ghosts." It means that the tiger, the king of beasts, is powerful and strong. , Brave, specializes in eating evil spirits.

Since the dragon was monopolized by the emperor and became the symbol of the emperor, the tiger has come to the people. Tigers are no longer intimidating to people, but have a sense of intimacy. People have transformed their belief and worship of tigers into good wishes and sustenance for their children. If a tiger that can conquer the "five poisonous insects" is kept by their children, the children will not be harmed by evil. People also hope that their children will grow up. , can stand tall and strong like a tiger. In traditional Chinese folk crafts, the artistic image of tiger occupies a very important position. In many rural areas, as soon as a child is born and passes the full moon, he is surrounded by "tigers" from head to toe, inside and out. Wear a tiger head hat on your head, tiger head shoes or jumpsuits on your feet, a tiger bib around your neck, and a tiger bellyband on your chest. The child has a tiger-shaped mattress, a tiger-shaped quilt for the cover, a tiger-shaped pillow for the pillow, cloth tigers and clay tigers for the children to play with, and a tiger head hat. When the child puts it on his head, he looks like a tiger. He is more aggressive and more childish and cute. Buhu is humorous and kind, and is the closest companion that accompanies children as they grow up. Tiger head hats are popular in most rural areas of China. Wear a tiger head hood when it's cold and wear a tiger head hoop hat when it's hot. Both tiger head hats and cloth tigers are sewn from silk cloth, and then decorated with embroidery, cloth patches, velvet flowers and other materials. Some are inlaid with a variety of silver and copper ornaments, and some are decorated with small bells. People regard the tiger as an enterprising and auspicious totem, hoping that their children will thrive, so they name their children "Tiger Boy" and "Huniu"; to describe children as lively and cute, they call them "Tiger Heads and Tiger Brains"; to describe men as strong, they call them "Tiger Backs and Bear Waist"; to describe excessive courage People are called "tiger heroes"; those who are brave in battle are called "tiger generals". Since tiger has the same pronunciation as "Fu" and "Wealth", it means good luck, wealth and prosperity. According to legend, when the God of Wealth Song Gongming gets rich, he is accompanied by a divine tiger, which can promote wealth, gather wealth, and receive hundreds of wealth without losing it. If the tiger is placed indoors in a place with strong yang and water, it can bring good luck and fortune; if it is placed on the table behind the chair, it can stabilize the foundation and help the nobles in case of trouble. Tigers are loved by people and often appear in poetry and paintings. Mei Yaochen of the Song Dynasty said: "People live close to each other, and the trees and bamboos do not know the autumn."

Tigers roar in the forest at night, and streams and springs flow downstream. "Jin Zhizhang of the Qing Dynasty: "The eyes are glaring with lightning, and the crotch and tail are raised like a spear. Roaring and standing on the ground, the earth is about to split, and hundreds of beasts hide in the mountains. "Painters often paint tigers. The tigers painted by Feng Dazhong are gentle but not kind, delicate but not greasy, and workmanlike but not craftsmanship. They have reached the state of "spiritual unity, forgetting both things and myself, and being enchanted." People still hang tiger paintings in their halls. , to drive away evil and seek good fortune and avoid evil. The tiger walking on the snow is also very beautiful. There is a couplet describing: "The tiger walks on the snow with five plum blossoms, and the crane falls on the frosty field with three bamboo leaves." In short, the tiger has become a hero in people's minds. , is a symbol of bravery, auspiciousness, exorcism and evil, and vitality.

However, tiger is also used to describe the bad side of people. For example, if the work is not serious, it is said to be "so-so"; "The head of a tiger is like the tail of a tiger"; those who bully others and do evil are called "a fox pretends to be a tiger's power" or "a tiger's assistant"; a person who is described as a strong but weak person is called a "paper tiger"; a person who cannot listen to opinions is called a "tiger's butt that cannot be touched"; a person who describes exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes is called "a harsh government is more fierce than a tiger", etc. In recent years Later, the reputation of tigers has also been derogated. For example, "beating tigers" actually links the majestic tigers with dirty corruption; "zhou tigers" links tigers with counterfeiters; as for tuition fees, medical expenses, The clamor that housing prices are "more fierce than tigers" is getting higher year by year, which makes tigers suffer unjust injustice. These are all done by people, so what does it do to tigers?
