The importance of culture
For thousands of years, the zodiac culture has had a deep bond with the Chinese nation.
Taking tigers as an example, the importance of tigers in mainland culture is self-evident. In the process of thousands of years of culture, from ancient rock paintings to myths and legends, from excavated cultural relics to folk customs, from literary works to artistic creations, tigers have always occupied an important part of traditional Chinese culture.
The tiger is the king of the hundred beasts, with a very brave and powerful yang spirit:
"The King of Wu's Cut Yin Ye, the Leather Car 302, the Tiger Ben 3,000 people." In "Mencius, Under the Heart", the bravery of the soldiers is highlighted by running like a tiger; "Tiger Ben Lieutenant" and "Tiger Ben Zhonglang General", in the Han Dynasty, the wuchen was called "tiger chen" and the warrior was called "tiger ben"; "tiger rune", made into a tiger-shaped soldier symbol, which was a relic used by ancient emperors to grant subordinates military rights and allocate troops; "Tiger banner dragon dragon, excited hundreds of miles." According to the "Records of the Immortals", when the emperor traveled, the flag used by the honor guard drew a tiger, called the "tiger flag".
Tigers are sometimes clumsy and cute, but they do not lose the spirit of the king:
In folk customs, the tiger changed its prestige and transformed into a tiger hat, tiger shoes, tiger pillow, tiger toy, tiger-shaped pasta, etc., which became people's daily life.

Tigers bring people a lot of sustenance, such as the fables, idioms, stories, legends and so on of the tiger. "Like a tiger adding wings", "tiger head tiger brain", "gate tiger", "newborn calf is not afraid of tiger"...
In ancient China, the tiger was the protector of man, and now, when the tiger tribe is on the verge of extinction, humans have become the protector god of the tiger.
Thick culture is undoubtedly the greatest cohesion.
"Only This Green" burst out of the circle, and its creative inspiration came from "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains". As one of the top ten famous paintings in China, "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" was painted by the Northern Song Dynasty painter Wang Ximeng in half a year when he was 18 years old. The painting is named after the mineral pigments painted with litholite green, and the brilliant turquoise tones are intertwined to paint a majestic thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

The green and green itself is only freehand, not affectionate; the dance is only its shape, not against the heart, and the Chinese culture behind it is really bending.
