In the Warring Period and the West and East Han dynasties, a large amount of tiger-shaped ornamentation and a large number of tiger-shaped ornaments appeared on the Ba Minority’s bronzes, which is an artistic product of tiger-worship notion and the symbol of Ba Minority Bronze Civilization after the Ba Minority entered Bronze Civilization.
