In fact, in the Chinese mind, the lion has been taken as superior in power to the tiger. Written records maintain that lions eat tigers, that tigers cringe before them, and that a lion can even make water on a tiger's head without the tiger daring to move.
中國人甚至也想利用獅子來制虎，文獻裡曾記載獅子食虎、虎見獅而伏，還說獅子敢在虎頭上小便，虎卻不敢動。
