What a cute tiger on the calendar cover! The Palace Museum just launched a tiger-themed calendar for 2022 -- the Year of Tiger, according to the Chinese zodiac. Tigers symbolize auspiciousness, vigor, and regality in Chinese culture. Each page of the calendar features a picture of tiger-related cultural relics from the museum's collections to show how “tiger culture” has been part of China for thousands of years.
