Hǔnián/ jiù yào/ dàole, nǐ/ liǎojiě/ lǎohǔ/ zài/ Zhōngguó/ wénhuà/ zhōng/ de/ hányì/ me? 虎年就要到了，你了解老虎在中国文化中的含义么？ The year of the Tiger is coming. Do you know the meaning of tiger in Chinese culture? Wǒ/ zhīdào/ a! Lǎohǔ/ hěn/ wēixiǎn!/ Zhōngguó rén/ shuō/ "bu rù hǔxué/ yān dé hǔ zǐ",/ hái/ shuō/ "yīshānbùróng'èrhǔ"./ 我知道啊！老虎很危险！中国人说“不入虎穴焉得虎子”，还说“一山不容二虎”。 I do! Tigers are dangerous! The Chinese say "If you don't risk going into a tiger's lair, how can you catch a tiger cub", and that "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain." Méi cuò!/ Bùguò/ lǎohǔ/ yěshì/ lìliàng/ de/ xiàngzhēng,/ bǐrú/ hǔ hǔ shēng wēi/, hǔtóu hǔnǎo,/ shēnglóng huóhǔ,/ dōu shì/ bāoyì cí!/ 没错！不过老虎也是力量的象征，比如虎虎生威、虎头虎脑、生龙活虎，都是褒义词！ That's right! However, the tiger is also a symbol of strength and power, for example, there are words like "vigor and vitality of the tiger" " looking dignified and strong like a tiger" and "full of vim and vigor like dragon and tiger", which are all commendatory words!
