Rank badges with a single tiger design were worn by low-level military officers. Unlike regular rank badges, this badge has a background that is similar to a folk painting. For example, there is a pine tree in the upper right area with a cross-shaped upper cloud design, which makes the badge look like it is from an older period. Moreover, at the bottom of the badge, there are bamboo leaves and rocks surrounding a smiling leopard.
