Design Concept:
The tiger represents the western direction and the color white; it’s also associated with the element gold, which symbolizes perseverance, firmness, stability, and brilliance. As the mighty king of the forest, all creatures are filled with awe when the tiger roars into the wind. While fully endowed with the tiger's powerful physique, the mythical beast portrayed in this piece also conveys the idea of benevolent power untarnished by fierceness or anger.
Associated with the four quadrants of the vault of heaven are the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermillion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North; in the center is the Qilin (unicorn). Each region corresponds to one of the five elements: metal (west), wood (east), water (north), fire (south), and earth (center). Moving across the night sky, the stars connect all life to the five elements. When the universe and elements are aligned, harmony ensues.
虎出西方，西方顏色為白，屬性是金， 金，含有堅毅、堅定、剛烈、穩固、閃耀的寓意，如同虎，作為森林之王，威猛勇敢，一往直前，所到處，無不是的虎嘯生風，披靡天下。對於虎的刻畫，著重體現在神獸的肌體表現。準確解析虎的身體結構，進一步將神威的氣質賦予作品。創作表達“威而不怒，猛而不兇”，神獸的力量之美和守護精神一覽無遺。
