The White Tiger, also known as "Jianbing" (Supervisor of Arms), is the deity of the West in ancient Chinese mythology. Together with the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise, it forms the "Four Celestial Symbols" of the sky. Originating from ancient observations and imaginative interpretations of the constellations, the White Tiger is not only a guardian of direction but also, due to its stern and killing nature, a fearsome god of war and bringer of doom.
