What is a seven-color bird?

The seven-color bird was originally a bird with seven colors of feathers. It is a symbol of freedom, flying, tenacity, sunshine, life, color and love. This is the embryonic form of the phoenix. Legend has it that the seven-color bird is a very brave bird. In order to save other birds in the forest, it devoted itself to the raging fire. Later, the seven-color bird won eternal life in the fire that destroyed the forest and became a phoenix with rainbow wings. The seven-color bird is also a symbol of sincere love. There is a short story about a seven-color bird with a red rope around its neck, which flew from the end of the world to the ends of the earth to find its mate. It kept moaning in the air. Its seven-color wings conquered the thunder and lightning, the cold wind in winter became warm, and large tracts of snowflakes melted in the sky. The seven-color bird finally got tired and fell into the valley, dripping a string of blood on its neck. It slowly opened its eyes and grabbed the red rope with tears in its eyes. At this time, it saw another seven-color bird tied with a red rope fall. They stared at each other's red rope as if they had found something and died with a knowing smile.
