During the late Eastern Zhou dynasty, talismanic dragon pendants supplemented and then supplanted tiger pendants. During the later Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE), the tiger and the dragon were defined as the rulers of the animals on earth and in the sky, and in charge of protecting the western and eastern directions.
