In ancient Chinese architectural design, there is a particular preference for placing decorations related to ancient gods at the eaves, to ward off evil spirits and ensure peace and prosperity. The immortal riding a rooster was a popular architectural decoration during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The rooster, without a doubt, is merely a domestic fowl, but the true identity of the immortal riding atop it has been a subject of various legends throughout history. It is generally believed to be the son-in-law of Jie Ziyang, the King Qi, and others. Placing the immortal riding a rooster on the rooftop symbolizes auspiciousness, and there is also a saying that placing it at the very tip of the eaves is to warn against climbing too high, as a misstep could result in a fatal fall.
