Year of the Tiger
We are in 2010, why?
In other cultures the passage of time is calculated based on references and traditions with deep roots in local history and everyday life.
Sunday, February 14, 2010 for China begins the Year of the Tiger.
A small step back to frame the historical aspect of this event.
The first references to the Chinese calendar, as is presently known, dating back to shortly before 3000 BC
A legend gives the credit to the legendary Emperor Huang Di, the mythical figure as a scholar and enlightened ruler who is credited the invention of writing the first textbook of medicine, a collection of laws, perhaps the terracotta army of Xian, and much more.
A more poetic history that dates back to the Buddha, approaching the end of his earthly experience and summoned all animals to say goodbye. Only 12 animals responded
appeal and, in thanks for their loyalty, he decided to dedicate a year to each of them. There
then the year of the Rat and the year of the bull, the sheep and the Snake. Depending on the order of arrival at the bedside of the Buddha in the third year was named the Tiger (Hu).

Basically today we identify in the lion king of the forest with skills uncommon strength and courage when in fact it is often the lioness to hunt for the whole family.
in China are recognized Tigre the ability to protect the house from harm both materials (fire) and intangible (ghosts).
Those born under this sign is a leader by nature, has a great self-esteem and awareness of their value and how the Tiger embodies courage, competitiveness and unpredictability.
extending the concept to other aspects of Chinese culture that we find in the Theory of 5 Elements is the metal and then solidifying the energy coming to materialize as the Fall, which is the current season, where everyone comes to the realization after the explosion energy of Summer.
In other respects it is interesting the relationship between the Tiger firearm that is: the sword.
It is a weapon away from the precious sword of the delicate, its use is associated with physiological muscle development and power dynamics. Because of its shape and balance is designed to crush, cut the net and no half measures.
concepts easy to reduce the movement of a tiger hunt. So
: ROARR!
