The Tiger
The tiger (⽩⻁, Bái Hǔ) is a symbol of power, strength, and courage. It is considered the king of all animals in Chinese culture and represents protection and guardianship. The white tiger, specifically, is one of the Four Symbols ( 象, Sì Xiàng) in Chinese constellations, associated with the west and the element of metal. It symbolizes autumn and the power of nature.
The Dragon
The dragon (⻰, Lóng) in Chinese mythology is a benevolent, celestial being that symbolizes power, authority, wisdom, and prosperity. Unlike the fierce and destructive dragons in Western mythology, Chinese dragons are associated with water, rainfall, and good fortune. They are often seen as protectors and bringers of balance. The dragon is also one of the Four Symbols, associated with the east, spring, and the element of wood.

The Tiger & Dragon Dynamic
In Chinese folklore, the tiger and dragon often appear as adversaries or rivals, symbolizing the balance of yin and yang. The tiger represents yin (earthly and passive), while the dragon represents yang (heavenly and active). Their battles are not about destruction but rather the balance and harmony of forces.
The two creatures are sometimes depicted in combat or in a dynamic pose, suggesting a struggle for dominance. However, neither ever wins, as their conflict is a metaphor for the ongoing balance and harmony between opposing elements. This dynamic is reflected in the idiom “⻰争⻁⽃” (Lóng zhēng hǔ dòu), which means “a struggle of equal forces.”
