In ancient China, there were several animals which were considered highly spiritual. They possessed immeasurable power and even demons were panic-stricken by them. The legend tells that one of the animals was the White Tiger. It was very ferocious and became a symbol for power and strength. It had a white tail and lived in the White Tiger Mountain in Nanchang, China.
