Hundred Birds Toward the Phoenix

When the Yellow Emperor took the throne, he felt that the world was at peace, and he wanted to see the legendary phoenix with his own eyes. To this end, he consulted the Elder of Heaven. The Elder of Heaven replied: the phoenix manifests itself as an omen of good fortune, and only appears in times of peace and prosperity.

It is not easy to see it passing by, but to see it flying in a flock of birds is a once-in-a-lifetime blessing. The Yellow Emperor was very upset when he heard this, and said, "Since I took the throne, the world has been at peace, so why haven't I even seen the shadow of the phoenix?
