    In ancient China, willow branches(柳枝) were often used as a gift to friends and family members who would leave. Do you know why willow branches are a symbol of saying goodbye?

    One reason is that willow trees are strong. They can live in any soil, wet or dry, north or south. Because of this special feature, when saying goodbye to loved ones, giving a willow branch is a way to tell them you hope they will easily get used to their new living environment.

    Another reason is that, in Chinese, the pronunciation for the willow tree"柳"is similar to the character "留". So giving a willow branch in ancient China was like asking the others to stay, even though you know that they must leave.

    It's said that this custom became popular during the Han Dynasty. At that time, Baqiao, a bridge in Chang'an, today's Xi'an, was a common place to say goodbye. People often stopped there and handed willow branches to people who were going to depart.

    Do you know anyone born in the Year of the Tiger? Are they brave, strong and determined? If so, then they are a typical "tiger".

    In Chinese culture, tigers are seen as the king of all animals. Tigers are seen as fearless animals, so that's why in China you can see pictures of tigers on the walls of houses and temples to ward off (抵御) danger and disasters.

    Tigers have an important cultural meaning not just in China, but across Asia where they live in the wild. For example,in South Korea,the animal is a symbol of justice, humanity and righteousness in local folk tales. Both the 1986 Seoul Asian Games and the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics used a friendly cartoon tiger as the mascot.

    In the West, tigers are also seen as powerful animals. If we say someone "works like a tiger", we mean he or she works hard. If you want someone to calm down, you can say to them "easy, tiger". It means having strength. There are also some other phrases about tigers, such as "a tiger can't change its stripes", "paper tiger" and "have a tiger by the tail".

    A. And we often use "tiger" in English.

    B. Another famous phrase is "eye of the tiger".
