Representing these qualities, the white tiger embodies the spirit of kingly nobility, appearing only when a king rules with absolute virtue or when there is peace in the world. 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，猛而不凶”，神獸的力量之美和守護精神一覽無遺。 |
