The Background to the Zodiac Sign of the Year of Tiger

The tiger is one of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, and those born in the year of the tiger are said to be brave, confident, and independent. But what is the story behind this zodiac sign? Let us see.

According to legend, the Jade Emperor, ruler of heaven, decided to hold a race among the animals to determine their order in the zodiac.
The first 12 animals to cross the finish line would be included, and the order of their arrival would determine their place in the zodiac.
The tiger, being a strong and fast animal, was expected to finish near the front of the pack. However, during the race, the tiger encountered a river that he could not cross.
He asked the river for help, but the river refused, saying that he had already helped too many other animals and that he was tired.
Frustrated and angry, the tiger attacked the river and created a path for himself to cross. But by the time he reached the finish line, the other animals had already crossed, and he came in third, behind the rat and the ox.
Despite his disappointment in the race, the tiger remains a respected and admired animal in Chinese culture.
