Tigers at Hefei Wildlife Park.
During the Spring Festival, many parents take their children to see tigers, and naturally there are fierce tigers and cute tigers in Hefei Wildlife Park. According to the staff, the park is mainly a Siberian tiger and a white tiger, of which the white tiger is a Bengal tiger. The world's first white tiger was discovered in India in 1951, so the white tiger is a national treasure of India. Due to the lack of hidden colors, the white tiger has difficulty surviving in the wild and basically lives in the zoo.
During the New Year, the Science Popularization Department of Hefei Wildlife Park produced and installed a billboard with the theme of "Huxiao Mountain Forest Protection and Harmony" in the South Gate Square. At the same time, at the South Gate Science Popularization Column and the East Gate Science Popularization Gallery, the new Tiger Year Zodiac display board was replaced. "What is a mountain that does not allow two tigers", "Can a tiger climb a tree", "Is a tiger a new year beast", at the scene, many children put forward "100,000 whys" to attract tourists to stop.
These folklore are also associated with tigers
Tiger head shoes are a kind of children's shoes, usually embroidered with tiger or tiger head patterns on the front and upper of the shoe. When the child wants to walk when he is about one year old, the adult will put on the tiger's head shoes for the child, borrow the image of the king of the tiger and the beast, and wish the child a safe and healthy growth.
"There are also some interesting stories about tigers." Li Yunsheng said that according to legend, Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, went up the mountain to collect medicine one day and encountered a tiger, and strangely enough, the tiger did not show a ferocious attack, but opened its mouth, knelt on the ground and kept shaking its head and tail to him. Sun Simiao carefully went forward to check and found that the tiger had eaten the animal bone and stuck in the throat. Therefore, Sun Simiao supported the tiger's mouth with an iron ring to prevent the tiger from hurting himself, and then reached into the tiger's throat with his hand and smoothly removed the bone. Because of this story, later, the iron ring with a brass bell became a ringer for mobile practitioners, known as "tiger brace", also known as "string bell".
"In ancient times, there were certain rules when practicing medicine shook the tiger." Li Yunsheng introduced that in general Langzhong, he can only put the bell on his chest and shake it; shake it at the same level as his shoulder, indicating that his medical skills are higher; and shaking it above his head symbolizes that his medical skills are very clever. But no matter what position you are in, you can't shake the tiger brace when you pass the door of the pharmacy, because in ancient times, many pharmacies had the tablet of the medicine king Sun Simiao, and if you shake it, it will appear to be not respected enough. "These are some of the customs of the past about tigers." Li Yunsheng said.
