History

In Chinese culture, the Rooster is the tenth animal of the zodiac and is linked with traits like loyalty and a keen sense of duty. The Year of the Fire Rooster was particularly significant for those born in past Rooster years (1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005), marking their ben ming nian or zodiac year return. This period is seen as one of both growth and challenges.
