Almost everyone has heard of Yin and Yang. These are the two forces that make up the universe. The two symbols are the Tiger and the Dragon. Yin means shady. Yang means bright.
The dragon symbol stands for Yang because it is associated with reigning over the heavens. The tiger is considered the strongest of the wild animals and stands for Yin.
You have heard of the movie "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon." This title describes the way the tiger crouches low to the ground, the sign that lands are the tiger's domain. Wind produced by the tiger's roar bend the trees and grasses of the earth. Tigers have strength and power.
I'll cover the dragon's powers in an upcoming column.
This painting tells of the tiger and her domain.
I found the art here at this website. It's full of exciting oriental art!
