Utilizing orange as the predominant color—characteristic of the markings of Bengal tigers and said to be one of the lucky colors for individuals born during the Year of the Tiger—the tiger mask in the stamp design incorporates elements with symbolic meaning. Several of the patterns and details were created with the style of Asian textiles in mind as well as green flowers that represent the arrival of spring. which Lunar New Year also signals in Chinese culture. The motif atop the tiger’s head—printed with purple foil—references the celestial themes of the Chinese zodiac. On the stamp pane. simplified illustrations of the 12 zodiac animals are printed with gold foil.
The tiger is the third of the 12 zodiac animal signs associated with the Chinese lunar calendar. Many ancient fables and legends explain the origin of the zodiac signs. The most common story tells of the animals racing across a river to determine their order in the cycle. The rat crossed by riding on the back of the ox. jumping ahead at the last minute to win the race. Next came the ox. then the tiger. rabbit. dragon. snake. horse. ram. monkey. rooster. and dog. followed by the boar in last place.
As with other zodiac signs. personality traits and other attributes are often associated with people born in the year of a particular animal.

Blue. orange. and gray are lucky colors for Tigers. and yellow lilies and cineraria may also bring good luck.
