At 2.1 meters tall and 100 kilograms, the large cloth tiger took folk artist Lei Zhichao more than two months to complete. /VCG Photo

Cloth tigers, now listed as an intangible cultural heritage, originated from the tiger totemism which reflects the ancient Chinese people’s admiration for the animal as a symbol of strength, bravery and fertility. /VCG Photo
