气吞山河 is what the Chinese say of a will too large for its surroundings — a phrase used of generals, and in a milder key of anyone who has taken on something bigger than themselves. The tiger is painted in warm gold against a cream ground, walking down between two falls as though the water were a doorway. Hang it in an office, a hallway or a stairwell where the scale of the day is set. 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". Each piece is painted to order and shipped with a certificate of authenticity.
