Legend has it that the bird Phoenix has the pattern of "benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith". Is it that Dongdong has a pattern of "gentleness, courtesy and frugality"?

First of all, let's talk about the decorative patterns of the phoenix. "Shan Hai Jing Tu Zan" says that there are five image modes: "The first text is more virtuous, the wings are smoother, the back is more righteous, the abdomen is more trustworthy, and the pseudo-text is more benevolent." "Han Shi Hua" also records a legend about the phoenix: "The Yellow Emperor acceded to the throne to give grace. Thank God ... Fufeng, Scaly Hou, Fishbone's Neck, Dragon Tortoise. Swallow chin and chicken beak. Virtue, benevolence, loyalty, righteousness, small sound gold, big sound drum. As well as some other literature descriptions, we can feel that the appearance of Phoenix serves politics, and its appearance is the representative of an auspicious and peaceful world (except for the description of the appearance of Phoenix in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, others are basically used as auspicious signs of being in power). Whether it is loyalty to good fortune or loyalty to benevolence, different dynasties have different opinions on calling the emperor.

As for the so-called "benevolence, courtesy, wisdom, faithfulness, softness, courtesy and frugality", you can know that it is a perfect Confucian theory of Confucius, Mencius and Dong Zhongshu, and these two sentences do not appear in pairs in the literature. Now it seems that they are all antithetical sentences refined by later generations, and there should be nothing, perhaps not touched. Hehe, after all, there are many anecdotes and monsters.
