various pattern and gorgeous colouring contribute a lot to the
uniqueness of Fengxiang painted clay sculpture. what draw more

history folk art. People regard the painted sculptures as symbols
people's hope of good fortune and their best wishes for future, and

in the twelve zodiac signs, the Cock represents
persistency.there is an interesting story about Cock in the
selection of twelve zodiac signs.It is said that before the
selection race, the dragon went to the Cock and asked to borrow the
Cock's horn. The Dragon told the Cock that he is beautiful enough
without the horn, and the Cock was so happy to hear that he just
lent his horn to the Dragon and asked him to return it as soon as
the racing is finished. the Dragon agreed and wore the horn
happily. the dragon looked so much better with the horn on, and he
was praised by the god for his beauty. The dragon decided to keep
the horn and disappear from all the other animals. that's the
reason why the Dragon cannot be seen after the selection. The Cock
shouted "return it,return it" every morning to the sky, asking the
Dragon to return his horn.
