Explaining White Tiger as the Root of Taoism

A year is divided into 24 solar terms, and the 3rd solar term is "Jingzhe". One will notice people flocking to taoist temples on the day of Awakening of Insects (Jing Zhe) to pray to the Tiger God once a year. This day normally falls on the 5th/6th/7th March. It got its name from the fact that animals sleeping in winter are awakened by spring thunder and that the earth begins to come back to life. The Awakening of Insects signals a rise in temperature and increased rainfall.It refers to the day all the animals are awaken from their hibernation and start commencing on food hunting activities. And the most feared among all the animals is the ferocious tiger. The chinese would offer fat pork lard, green beans, duck eggs and incense paper to the White Tiger God. In 2020, this day will fall on 5th March 2020 at 16:54hrs.

The White Tiger is actually one of the many constellations and a vicious one. It will move to a different position every year. For example in 2021, the White Tiger will enter into the Palace of "You", and will affect those born under the zodiac signs Rooster, Ox, Snake and Rabbit. The negative energy influence will cause these signs to face problems like villains, lawsuit, legal problems, accidents and illnesses. Taoist practitioners will throng the temple to worship the Tiger God on Jingzhe day (awakening of insects) to avoid these possible mifortunes. This is because taoists practitioners always associate feng shui with religion and folk traditions. However, from a metaphysics point of view, one can display cures to remedy the problem.

In layman's term, those who offend the White Tiger would be refered to as "fan siew yan" (offending scheming characters). It is regarded as a highly feared offence besides fearing the Tai Sui. When one offends the White Tiger, troublemakers, scoundrel and villains will plot wicked intention to make ones life miserable throughout the year. They can be your wicked relatives, colleagues, friends, rivals or even your own boss. If left uncontrolled, one may get laid off from work, lose his/her good name, break-up from a relationship, fall into a legal problem or lose money. Never underestimate troublemakers. They are able to topple a kingdom. Those who are offending the White Tiger will easily become a victim of bully. Those who are offending the White Tiger must also beware of accident, injuries, diseases, vile people, disputes and mourning.
