What do the Guardians of Paradise (White tiger and Dark Dragon) represent?
Question: The Picture of the white Tiger and dark dragon. They are often show with a yin yang in the background. What do the represent and what culture are they from. Thanks! Answer: I do believe this representation is common throughout several oriental countries. It represents the Eternal struggle of Earth (Tiger) and Air (Dragon). Like the Yin-Yang it serves to symbolize that excess in any direction is bad. Since it is Only the struggle between these Two great beasts that prevents them from destroying mankind.
