Traditional character
Tiger people have a sense of justice: they speak out and act quickly. In tradition the Tiger wards off evil — children wear tiger-head caps and shoes for protection.
In company, Tiger people come and go in straight lines, and admire the same directness in others.
Customs and getting along
The Tiger appears on door gods and New Year prints, and the cloth tiger of the north is a living craft.
With Tiger people, say what you think; give them room to act, and things often take half the effort.
Zodiac characters belong to traditional culture and are shared for interest; every person's character is shaped by their own experience and choices.
