The tiger in the chinese zodiac compatibility chart reading

The tiger is the third animal of the Chinese Zodiac compatibility chart . We are often amazed not to find the lion king of beasts in the chinese zodiac compatibility chart. Yet if one believes a Chinese legend, the lion was once one of the twelve signs of the Zodiac shio or Chinese. The tiger was not included.

But the lion was too cruel, and the supreme God wished to remove him from the structure of the chinese zodiac. It was not an easy task, because the lion kings reigned over all the animal world. If the Supreme God excluded him, he would have to find another animal to control others. He thought of the tiger .

In those days, the tiger was not an important animal in the world of men or in the chinese zodiac compatibility charts of the day. But when he learned the fighting techniques of the cat, he became a warrior of matchless valor. All the animals who challenged his claws died under or, at best, were seriously injured. The tiger won such a reputation that the supreme God summoned him to his heavenly kingdom. As the tiger got up there, the tiger was able to defeat all the warriors of the master of the house and climbed to the rank of chief of hosts.

But soon, on Earth, the animals began to attack the men. The supreme God sent the tiger restore order between the animal and human kingdom. The tiger agreed, provided that for each of his wins, he receives a ribbon. Once on land, he realized that the lion, bear and horse were the strongest animals. He challenged them to a fight all three of them successfully. When the evil creatures got wind of the victory of the tiger, all went into hiding in a deep forest and were never seen again. The world of men expressed their gratitude to the tiger for having rescued them from these evil forces. And the tiger returned to the celestial kingdom where he was added into the chinese zodiac compatibility chart as a reward for his valor in battle. As he had three victories, the supreme God he drew three lines on the forehead.

Shortly after, a turtle with magical powers plunged the Earth into chaos and caused huge floods and tidal waves. The tiger was again dispatched to kill the evil turtle. The supreme God, grateful, set on his forehead, the center of the three features, a horizontal line. This addition formed the ideogram wang 寅 which means " king ".
