In Vietnamese culture, lynx appears in many different stories and legends and is often considered a symbol of luck, prosperity, or protection.
Lynxes are often depicted in traditional folk paintings and sculptures. Images of lynx can appear on household objects, decorations, and even in traditional temple architecture.
The ancients believed that 1 year of a tiger is equal to 10 years of a cat, so the name "little tiger" appeared from here. The redrawn painting is based on the story of a lynx residing in the body of the white tiger That Son and the cork tree goblin. Three souls are one. The lynx's ability is more about observation, so it is drawn in many different poses, along with the pressure of the white tiger's roar, the green color and the main motifs of flowers and cork leaves are the main points of this artwork.
