In ancient times, people painted chickens on doors and windows during the Spring Festival to drive away evil spirits. The "Xuan Zhong Ji" written by a person from the Jin Dynasty talked about the celestial rooster on the Dushuo Mountain mentioned above. It said that when the sun just rose and the first ray of sunlight shone on the big tree, the celestial rooster crowed.
As soon as it crows, all the chickens in the world start to crow. Therefore, the chicken cut during the Spring Festival actually symbolizes the celestial chicken. However, there is also a saying in ancient mythology that the chicken is a transformed version of the Chongming bird.
It is said that during the reign of Emperor Yao, friendly nations offered tribute of a kind called the Chongming bird, which could ward off evil spirits. Everyone welcomed the arrival of the Chongming bird, but the tribute envoys did not come every year. So people carved a wooden Chongming bird, or cast a bronze Chongming bird and placed it at the door, or painted a Chongming bird on doors and windows to scare away evil spirits and ghosts so that they would not dare to come again. Because the Chongming bird looks like a chicken, people later gradually changed to painting chickens or cutting window decorations and pasting them on doors and windows, which became the source of paper-cutting art in later generations.
In ancient my country, people attached great importance to chickens and called them "birds with five virtues." "Han Shi Wai Chuan" says that it has a crown on its head, which represents literary virtue; it has spurs on its feet that enable it to fight, which represents martial virtue; it dares to fight when the enemy is in front of it, which represents courage; it shares food with its own kind, which represents benevolence; it keeps watch on time and announces the dawn, which represents faith.
Therefore, people not only cut the chicken during the Chinese New Year, but also designate the first day of the New Year as Chicken Day.
