The Rooster - Xi'an

Terracotta Army
The crow of a rooster symbolizes the beginning of a new day; and Xi'an is associated with the dawn of Chinese civilization.
Xi'an was the first of China's Four Great Ancient Capitals and played a very important part in Chinese history. From the 11th century BCE to the 10th century CE, Xi'an hosted no less than 13 dynasties and regimes in the flux of Chinese history.
