The Tiger ( 虎 ), associated with good fortune, power, and royalty, is viewed with both fear and respect. Their protection and wisdom is sought after. The Chinese (and generally all of the East) see the tiger, and not the lion, as the king of beasts. The Year of the Tiger is associated with the earthly branch symbol 寅.
