What is the auspicious meaning of goose?

Goose symbolizes good luck. In ancient times, it was a custom to give geese as gifts. The marriage etiquette initiated by the Zhou Dynasty is called the foundation of etiquette. After winning the lottery, he proposed to the woman's family, and after being accepted, he officially accepted the "gift of choosing a spouse" for the woman's family, which was an ancient stipulation to send geese. Wild geese are migratory birds, flying south in autumn and returning north in spring. They sometimes come and go and never lose the season, so they are used to symbolize the constancy of both men and women.

The geese follow the sun and move in an orderly way. During the migration flight, the geese line up in rows, with the strong geese leading, the young and the weak following and never crossing. Applying this principle to marriage, young and old will get married in order, not exceeding the order.

The wild goose is a male and a female, symbolizing loyalty and growing old together.

The wild goose is the crown of all birds, and it has been regarded as the spirit of the "five permanents" since ancient times-which five permanents? Benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith are the five permanent members. In ancient China, there were many poems praising them, such as "On the first day of August, geese opened and flew south with frost." Lu You's "Rain Ji Chicken Live Early, the wind is high and the array is oblique"; Wei's "Wan Li people go south, three spring geese fly north" (singing geese in the south), "Red Rock on a moonlit night in Meng Chun, Red Rock on a moonlit night in Qiu Meng", "Lv Chunqiu" and so on.

Wild geese are kind, because in a group of strict formations, there are always old, weak, sick and disabled people who can't make a living on their own. The rest of the wild geese in their prime will never abandon them and raise them to die. This is the heart of the benevolent.

Goose is not only kind, but also affectionate. The goose and the goose are paired, and they have always been faithful to each other. Whether the goose is dead or the goose is dead, the lonely goose left alone will never find another partner until she dies.

The formations in the sky are either "one" or "people" when flying, and they are arranged in the order of generations from beginning to end, which is called "geese". The leader is led by an old goose. No matter how fast the strong goose flies, it can't catch up with the old goose. This is courtesy and humility.
