According to the Chinese zodiac, February 14, 2010 marks the beginning of the Year of the White Tiger. One of the most beautiful creatures on earth, the Tiger is featured in many Asian cultures as a manifestation of courage, power, passion and royalty. The White Tiger is one of the four celestial animals in Feng Shui. In Imperial China the Tiger represented earth and was the military emblem of the supreme commanders of the army. The power and stealth of the Tiger inspired many of the martial art movements of the Kung-Fu masters.
