In ancient China， people not only wrote tiger-themed calligraphy and depicted them in ink paintings， but also liked to wear tiger-patterned clothes， belts， and hats. Ancient Chinese people used the tigers image and power to symbolize heaven and earth， clarify the levels of officialdom， avoid evils， and frighten enemies. Tigers in various images have become a special decoration for festivals and daily life today， representing Chinese peoples love for the animal and aspiration for a better life.
