Some history on peacock symbol :
One of China’s oldest and most influential texts, the I Ching, or Book of Changes, describes the peacock as a cultured bird with nine virtues. It had a dignified appearance and a clear voice, walked with grace, and was punctual. Content and loyal to its fellows, the peacock was also restrained in its appetite, and capable of learning from its mistakes.
Over time, the peacock became synonymous with culture and enlightenment — in the Qing dynasty (1644-1912), imperial fans were made of peacock feathers and only officials of the highest rank were permitted to wear a hat with a peacock feather and coral knob.
