Cuckoo Rooster

In Chinese tradition,
the Rooster is known as the herald of a new day.

Long before clocks became part of daily life,
the sound of a rooster's crow announced the arrival of morning.
Its call marked the transition from darkness to light,
making it a symbol of awakening, vigilance, and new beginnings.

Because of this association with dawn,
the Rooster became a familiar image in folk art and seasonal celebrations.
It represents clarity, confidence, and the promise of a fresh start.

The Rooster is also connected with the idea of good fortune.
In traditional decorative arts, rooster imagery often appears alongside
auspicious symbols to express wishes for happiness and prosperity.

During the Lunar New Year,
rooster motifs are used to convey blessings of good luck,
success, and a bright year ahead.
