The Chinese Character, an Interpretable Chinese Culture
The Chinese character "王" (Wang, king) features three transverse lines "三" representing the heaven, people and earth respectively. When linked by the vertical line "|", a character comes into being representing the one owning the absolute authority of the world, the king.
People in China figure the lines on the forehead of tiger as the character "王", thus regarding the animal as "the king of beasts". Among all Chinese folk artworks, despite the varying image of tiger, the "王" on its forehead is something perpetually invariable.
