Rooster — Chinese Zodiac Database
The rooster's symbolic weight comes from its function: it calls the morning, which in a tradition without clocks made it the standard for the day's beginning. It is associated with Metal and the west.
The tradition attributes five virtues to the rooster and maps them to parts of its anatomy — literary, martial, brave, benevolent, trustworthy — which is an unusually literal mapping.
