In ancient times，the lion was part of the zodiac but not the tiger. Because the lion was too cruel, it had a bad reputation. The Jade Emperor in the heavens, who is in charge of the zodiac, wants to remove the lion, but it must be supplemented by an animal that manages the forest. At this time, the Jade Emperor thought of the tiger guard in the palace.
The tiger guardian of the heavens used to be an insignificant animal in the mortal world. After it learnt the eighteen martial arts: grasp, hunt, bite, patience, charge, leap, crash, etc from the cat master, then it became a ferocious warrior in the forest. Any animal who had challenged the tiger was mortally wounded if not dead. From then on, the tiger dominates the mountains and forests. Later, when the Jade Emperor heard that the tiger was extremely courageous, he decreed that the tiger would return to heaven. After the tiger ascended to the heavens, it fought against the Jade Emperor's other guardians and won. Since then, the tiger became the front guard of the Temple of Heavens.
Soon after the tiger was gone, the beasts in the mortal world began to act erratically and caused destruction on earth since there was no one in control. This alerted the earth God and the earth God reported to the heavens asking the Jade Emperor to send the guardians of the heavens to suppress the beasts. So the Jade Emperor sent the tiger down to earth but the tiger demanded that it be rewarded for every victory. The Jade Emperor only wants peace in the mortal world, and so he accepted with the tiger's request without hesitation.
When the tiger came to the mortal world, it learned that the lion, the bear and the horse were the three most powerful animals at that time and challenged them. The tiger defeated them all with its supreme fighting skills and courage. The other beasts got scared and scattered into the forest, hiding away from human civilization. The mortal world was filled with joy, thanking the tiger for its great service.
After returning to the heavens, the Jade Emperor carved three horizontal lines on its forehead as a victory mark for the tiger's three winning streak. Later, the mortal world was harassed by the East Sea Turtle Monster, and flooded the prosperous land. The shrimp soldiers and crab warriors will do evil in the mortal world, so the tiger was sent to the mortal world again and killed the Sea Turtle Monster. The Jade Emperor was elated and awarded another vertical victory mark to the tiger’s forehead. So a striking "王" character is present on the tiger's forehead. Since then, the tiger has become the "king" of the beasts and is in charge amongst them all. Even today, the majestic "王" character can still be seen on the tiger's forehead.
After the lion's notoriety spread into the heavens, the Jade Emperor decided to remove the zodiac title from the lion and replace it with the tiger, the king of the beasts. Since then, the tiger has become the zodiac sign, and the lion has been exiled to the far south. The tiger chose to descend to the mortal world from the Temple of Heavens to keep peace in the mortal world for eternity.
Today, there are also tiger talismans, tiger rings, tiger sculptures and other items used as charms to avoid disasters and evil superstitions. In some areas, people like to wear clothes with tiger engravings or some of their attributes, it is seen as prosperity, brings good fortune and a celebration of happiness.
