Opps! Didn’t realize “Mickey-mouse” also wrote something about White Tiger.
The awakenings of hibernated insects (驚蟄) also denote a transition from the Hexagram Tai (Unity) to Hexagram DaZhuang (Great Strength), change in the 4th Yao where Yang is increasing in the expense of Yin as such changes in the season does not bring rewards without steadfast and effort. The transformed Hexagram is all Yang. Thunder originates from Heaven denotes sudden movements with Force, resemblance of a swift Forceful General with such cultural reference that brought forth the notion of Tiger. It also states that it is important to behave in proper manners otherwise matters would be perverse and ends would be violent, befitting the dictum of White Tiger opens its mouth (白虎开口).
On a philosophical note, DaZhuang indicates a season where a person is likely to be successful in his endeavor. However, in the midst of his success he may have the tendency to be stubborn and conceited, thus attracts a lot of unnecessary petty people. It is therefore wise to remain impartial, walk the middle path and find ways for self restraint. It is also this nature that gives rise to the concerted effort of hitting Petty People (打小人).
In the light of DaZhuang, let us not be so petty, then you will see yourself grow an inch taller in wisdom.
