Those who are born in the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese zodiac have reasons to feel lucky about themselves next year, as the tiger in Chinese culture is a symbol of fortune and wealth.

This is revealed in the opening chapter of a new special exhibition at the Shanghai History Museum that for the first time collects all best wishes in Chinese auspicious culture in one place.

Like people elsewhere, Chinese people developed their own auspicious culture over the course of history, drawing inspiration from observing and living in nature. And the four pillars of this culture are "fortune, wealth, longevity and happiness."
