In human society, language is the main expression of thinking which reflects some forms of language by a certain way. Language and thought have the complementary relationship. Chinese and English ethnic have been condensed into the experience through the understanding of reality, which formed two specific ways of thinking. For this reason, there are two different animal words expressing similar symbolic meaning in these two national languages. The Chinese word “tiger” and the English word “lion” have the most obvious similarity in their symbolic meaning. The “tiger” is all the beasts of ruler in the forest as the "king of beasts" who has the supreme right in Chinese traditional culture. But for most people in the Western English-speaking countries, the “lion” is more powerful than the “tiger” who has the supreme power in the forest. There are large number of Chinese and English idioms about “tiger” and “lion”. Chinese and Western people in English-speaking countries selected the “tiger” and the “lion” as the symbol of hero, bravery, strength and power. Chinese people regarded the “tiger” as the symbol of strength, fierce, power and bravery which took an extremely important part in traditional Chinese culture. However, for most people in the Western English-speaking countries, the “lion” has many symbolic meanings such as strength, fierce, power and bravery. These symbolic meanings are particularly reflected in Chinese and English idioms.
