Chinese Zodiac Auspicious Spring Couplet Square Scroll / Auspicious Rooster for Warding Off Evil / Traditional Paper-Cut Style / 15cm

Spring Couplets / Square Scrolls There is a custom during Spring Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival of posting images of roosters on doors. Why is this so? Since ancient times, the rooster has been revered as a symbol of the masculine and a guardian against evil spirits. Roosters symbolize the sun, masculinity, and warding off ghosts and evil. Simultaneously, the rooster is also a divine bird that calls back souls, with the phoenix being an evolved form of it. From this, we can understand the rooster's important status in folk culture. What's more, the homophone for rooster in Chinese sounds like "auspicious," and phrases like "auspicious and all desires fulfilled" and "good fortune" are associated with the rooster. It is truly a wonderful animal representation. The design of this square scroll is inspired by traditional paper-cut patterns from the Datong region of Shanxi. Surrounding the rooster image are motifs such as peaches, Buddha's hand citron, and pomegranates, symbolizing blessings, longevity, and abundant offspring. With the ability to ward off evil spirits while also bringing many children, blessings, and longevity, it's no wonder that roosters have been a beloved motif for spring couplets among the populace. - Pattern: Traditional paper-cut old style from Datong, Shanxi Quantity: 1 piece Size: 15 x 15 cm Paper: Eco-friendly red cardstock Weight: 240 g/m2 (thick paper) Printing: Letterpress Hot Foil Stamping Color: Matte Rose Gold Back: Blank on the back - Lovingly crafted by Good Day Studio Printed in Taiwan - About Shipping After payment, it takes 1-2 business days to prepare and ship the item, excluding holidays.
