In the traditional Chinese children's clothing, we not only see the exquisite skills of Chinese traditional clothing, but also the industrious wisdom of thousands of mothers in the world. Many children's clothes reflect the mother's wish that their children will become useful and useful. They are rich in music, chess, calligraphy, painting and scientific research. They teach their children to study hard, which means that they can become famous when they grow up; The birthday worship, the twenty-four filial piety, and the "hundred children picture", which reflect the theme of loyalty and filial piety, are all textbooks without words. They convey cultural information through pictures and patterns, accompanying the growth of children. The aesthetic value and spiritual value of these fabrics and embroideries may be more real and touching than those fictional drama stories, because they are more beautiful and attractive because they are visible, touching, perceptible and knowable.

Therefore, the organizers of the exhibition specially selected tiger patterns from the clothing collection, designed a series of cultural and creative products with the theme of tiger, and welcomed the arrival of the year of the tiger with the image of "tiger" and "tiger" story.
