高處不勝寒 — 'at such a height the cold is more than one can bear' — comes from a famous mid-autumn poem, and it names the loneliness of the best view in the world. Mist-washed peaks, a crag threaded with rose and ink-black, and a tiger drawn hair by hair standing at the top of it. Give it a wall of its own in a study or an office, and step back a few paces to read it. Symbolism & Feng Shui The descending tiger (Xià Shān Hǔ) is the fierce guardian form, painted mid-stride with its muzzle lowered. Hang it at the entrance or in a hallway with the tiger facing outward: it is the traditional guardian that turns misfortune away from the household. Craftsmanship 100% hand-painted in the traditional Chinese gongbi (fine-brush) technique on rice paper, created by our artists in Minquan, Henan — China's "Tiger Painting Village".
