What birthday present should I give my elders?

There is a certain emphasis on sending chickens. Generally speaking, you should send a rooster when visiting relatives and friends or giving gifts. Because rooster means good. The cock is the head of the chicken, which means to lead the chicken to sow. In China, rooster has auspicious meanings, such as: good luck, good luck, good luck, golden rooster announcing the dawn, golden rooster welcoming the spring, making money, smelling chickens dancing, good luck every year, all the best, prosperity, good luck and happiness. So send elders or leaders and important people, I suggest you send roosters.

In the past, people regarded chickens as auspicious birds and even mascots. Not only do they use red paper to cut cocks as window grilles during the Chinese New Year, but the first day of the New Year is also designated as Chicken Day (auspicious day). The first day of the first month is regarded as a "chicken" (auspicious) day, largely because of the homonym of "chicken" and "auspicious". After a long period of change, people will associate the image of chicken with auspicious meaning. Chicken is auspicious, and luck is chicken. So it's a good choice to send a rooster.

Why roosters are suitable for giving people away:

On the one hand, roosters work at sunrise every morning, rest at sunset, and run around during the day, maintaining the peace of the chickens, while hens are docile and have unlimited maternal love for the chickens. On the other hand, as far as chickens are concerned, they are born with a bright red comb, especially the rooster, whose comb is bigger and more beautiful. The Chinese nation has always advocated red, and the bright red on the chicken head symbolizes the fiery red of life, the prosperity of family, the prosperity of population and the prosperity of business.
