Tiger, guardian deity and loyal friend of the Korean people!

This is an exclusive project with our Korea partner. www.bathcul.com
Year of the White Tiger According to the Korean calendar, 2010 is the Year of the Tiger, or gyeonginnyeon in Korean. Among the twelve Gods of the earth, known as sibijisin, the tiger is the third animal and is a symbol of bravery, the guardian deity of the Korean people, and a noble animal who often appears in old Korean folk tales. And the year of the white tiger is especially auspicious as it comes around only once every 60 years. “Local legend has it that there are four guardian gods in Korea,” Kim Sang-hoe, a prominent Korean fortune teller explained. “They are the chungryong (blue dragon), hyunmu (turtle-snake), jujak (phoenix) and baekho (white tiger). Unlike the other three creatures, who are fictional, the baekho is the one and only real animal. For that reason, white tigers have been highly respected. In addition, the chance of a white tiger being seen is one in a million, so people in the past saw white tigers as a good sign.” Image: Old folk painting of a white tiger. [JoongAng Ilbo]
