Crystal Mythical Creature, White Tiger, Mighty White Tiger, Guardian of the West

The Collection: Thank To Heavens

Design Concept:

Chinese Mythical White Tiger Design

This art decor piece from the studios of LIULI Crystal Art comes from a collection of four mythical creatures—each correlating to a compass direction.  With a deep background in Chinese cultural symbolism, the tiger seen here in “Guardian of the West – Mighty White Tiger” leaps forward ferociously, bounding with both strength and vigilance.  The tiger is the strongest and most independent of the four mythical creatures, representing the West as a perfect counterpart to the azure dragon.

In ancient China there are four mythical creatures with godly power which protect us from all devils and evil spirit. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise; Azure Dragon is the guardian of the East, White Tiger is the guardian of the West, Vermillion Bird is the guardian of the South, Tortoise is the guardian of the North.

概念設計說明: 

在中国古代最令妖邪胆战心惊并且法力无边的四大神兽就是青龙、白虎、朱雀、玄武四兽。 青龙为东方之神； 白虎为西方之神； 朱雀为南方之神； 玄武为北方之神，龟蛇合体。 故有“青龙、白虎、朱雀, 玄武， 天之四灵，以正四方，王者制宫阙殿阁取法焉。 玄武被后世的道士们升级做北方的大帝 “真武大帝”。
