Introduction to Feng

Phoenix is the abbreviation of Phoenix, the king of birds in mythology and legend. The male is called the Phoenix; the female is called the Phoenix. In the ancient totem age, it was worshipped as a divine bird. It refers to a person with holy virtue.

It is the patron saint imagined by people in primitive society, which evolved from the image gradually and perfectly. It has a head like a golden pheasant and a body like a mandarin duck. It has the wings of a roc, the legs of a crane, the beak of a parrot and the tail of a peacock. It is the first bird in the world, symbolizing beauty and peace. It is the symbol of Ji Rui in feudal times, and also the pronoun of Queen.

In modern times, due to the influence of the myth of Phoenix's rebirth in the West and Japanese popular culture, the Chinese also regarded the undead bird as rosefinch or Phoenix in translation and cognition, but in fact, the rosefinch, Phoenix and the undead bird are totally different.

Once upon a time, Cai Hengyun said, "there are five kinds of Phoenix: the Red Phoenix, the green phoenix, the Yellow Phoenix, the White Swan, and the purple Phoenix."

It can be seen that Phoenix does not mean a single bird species, but a bird species in general. There are many different subspecies and different colors of Phoenix.

There are many things about the original shape of Phoenix. Such as golden pheasant, peacock, eagle, swan and so on.

Tian laoyun, Minister of the Yellow Emperor, said: "the image of the Phoenix is also like a bird in front of Hong and a bird in the back of Lin, a stork in front of Lin, a turtle in the back of dragon, a swallow in the chin, a chicken pecking, and five colors for lifting.". Because it is the "feather insect" long, so and the "scale insect" long dragon in the legend has gradually become a pair, a variety, a good virtue, has become a complementary pair of Chinese folk customs. Because the five elements belong to fire, Phoenix was once regarded as Yang, representing male; while the five elements belong to water, which is regarded as Yin, representing female. Later, because the image of the dragon was more popular with emperors, it was changed to symbolize Zhiyang with the dragon. The Phoenix (Phoenix is male, and phoenix is female), which was originally divided into yin and Yang, gradually became the representative of pure Yin after being opposite to the dragon.
