More information
The rooster represents fidelity and punctuality and is the tenth in the 12-year cycle of Chinese zodiac signs. In Chinese culture, the Rooster carries a symbolic significance with generally auspicious connotations. For ancestors, rooster crowing was a notable sign as it awakens people and ends darkness. Therefore chickens and roosters are among the most frequently seen animals in art, conveying the wish for good fortune on a brand new start.
