In Chinese painting, "chicken" and "auspicious" are homophonic, meaning auspicious and good luck. Five chicks represent Five Blessingg, which means five kinds of blessings.
Five Blessingg's moral is that Five Blessingg is auspicious: longevity is better than Nanshan, congratulations on getting rich, health and safety, noble moral character, good beginning and good ending.
Five Blessingg:
Five blessings was first published in Shang Shu Hong Fan. The recorded Five Blessingg is: longevity, wealth, Kangning, Xiu De, and finished the exam. Later, due to taboos and other reasons, Five Blessingg also changed. For example, Huan Tan in the Eastern Han Dynasty changed his final senior high school entrance examination to a large number of descendants in "The New Theory of Confusion Thirteen", and later Five Blessingg became a long life, wealth, happiness, virtue and a large number of descendants.
The first blessing is "longevity", and the fate is long and the life is long.
The second blessing is "wealth", with deep pockets and prominent status.
The third blessing is "Kangning", which is healthy and peaceful.
The fourth blessing is "goodness", kindness, generosity and quietness.
The first Five Blessingg was "harmony between people", which was good from beginning to end and carried forward the past.
