Raise the Red Lantern

~ A Tiger’s Tale

Feb 13th marks the eve of Valentine’s Day and Chinese/Lunar New Year. Let’s usher in the
Year of the Tiger together amidst all that will be happening in Vancouver on this much anticipated weekend. Please join us at W2 for an evening of offerings.

Some of you may remember the great space(s) of W2 where El Papa Chango played last November. W2 recently celebrated its official opening and will be the first ever independent social media center created to help non-accredited media journalists and bloggers cover the Olympics. Raise the Red Lantern will also be the after-party for Artwalk Vancouver happening throughout the DTES. Sure to be many streams of people creating one very diverse mix.

“The Tiger is one of the most beautiful creatures on the planet, and is feared and revered in equal measure. It features in many Asian cultures as a manifestation of courage, power, passion and royalty. The Tiger symbolizes the female Yin energy as opposed to the Yang male energy of the dragon. Ancient Chinese believe that the markings on the forehead of tigers resemble the Chinese character for “Wang”, or King. In Imperial China, where the dragon is the insignia of the emperors, the tiger is the military emblem of the highest supreme commanders of the army symbolizing fearlessness and victory. The Tiger also represents earth, while the dragon represents Heaven. The powerful and stealth prowess of the Tiger inspire the martial art movements of many Kung-Fu masters.”

Those who are skilled in combat
do not become angered.

Those who are skilled at winning
do not become afraid.

Thus, the wise win before they fight
while the ignorant fight to win.
