君临天下 is what the Chinese say of a ruler who has the whole country under his eye. A descending tiger carries that meaning exactly: he is not climbing towards power, he already owns the ground and is walking down to use it. The two waterfalls behind him add a third presence to the picture, so the room never feels empty. Hang it facing a doorway or in a corridor where it can look out at whoever arrives. 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".
