In Chinese culture, dragons symbolize auspicious power and strength, and they have control over water, including rain, floods, etc. Tigers, on the other hand, symbolize prowess, righteousness, and harmony.
The dragon's throat is the entrance and the tiger's mouth is the exit. Entering a dragon's throat and coming out a tiger's mouth symbolizes turning bad luck to good fortune.
