"虎"Tiger"虎"Tiger “老虎” 是一种令人敬畏的动物，不仅在日本，在整个亚洲毗邻的社会中都受到珍贵的崇敬。 “Tasmania no Tora” 是日语 “タスマニアの虎” 的罗马音写法，直译为 塔斯马尼亚的虎，通常指已灭绝的袋狼（Thylacine）. 英文原文： Specifically in Japan the tiger is the emblem of the great aristocratic warriors famously known as the samurai. The tiger represents the virtue of courage. It also means revision, improvement, change, and the zen good. The animal has a context of “the poweful one” in the Asian culture. Respected leaders in the Sengoku Samurai era such as Shingen Takeda and Kenshin Uesugi were called “the Tiger” for their strength. China’s legend has 4 guardian god creatures protecting the Emperor’s palace at the four corners. The exact same guardians have been incorporated by the Japanese culture as well. They are mentioned with the Japanese emperors’ affiliated properties as well as very famous Edo castle in Japan. The guardian god that protects the West corner is a “white tiger”. The very popular tourist spot called “tora no mon” or Tiger’s gate in Tokyo is called that because it is on the west side of where the Edo castle is. Duncan Tasmania no Tora 长按下方二维码添加高老师微信 |
