In ancient Chinese architectural design, there is a particular fondness for placing decorations related to ancient deities at the eaves, with the intention of securing the home, dispelling evil, and ensuring peace. The immortal riding a rooster was a highly popular decorative element during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The rooster, without a doubt, is merely a type of domestic fowl. However, the actual identity of the immortal riding the rooster, which transcends the rooster itself, has been a subject of various legends throughout history. It is generally believed to be the son-in-law of Jia Ziyang or King Qi Ming. 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.
