What does Firebird stand for? What is its deep meaning?

Legend has it that the firebird can emit the light of thousands of feet, not only travel through time and space, but also be reborn in the fire, so it is also called the immortal bird. Firebirds are beautiful and lonely. Every 500 years, they will throw a bear into a fierce fire and burn themselves to death. The purpose is to temper and regenerate, and fly high with strength and determination. Even though the call of firebird varies from place to place, its immortal meaning represents self-reliance and infinite vitality.
