The phoenix is the auspicious bird in people's minds and a symbol of peace in the world. The ancients thought that when there was peace and prosperity, there was a phoenix flying. The Oracle inscriptions of Feng Qi Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Feng Feng are the same, which means the omnipresence of wind and spiritual strength; Burn is the word of the emperor, which means supreme and great.

Phoenix is also a symbol of China's imperial power, and it is often used with dragons. Phoenix belongs to dragons and is used for concubines of queens. The combination of dragons and phoenixes is the most distinctive totem in China. There are also a lot of similar shapes in folk art.

Phoenix is considered to be the most noble among birds, and the king of birds (although it is fictional), and there is a saying that "a hundred birds are facing the phoenix".

In the traditional ideology of the Han nationality, "Phoenix" has been the most important auspicious and magical thing in the legends of the Han nationality since ancient times. It is said that the Phoenix can be reborn in the fire, symbolizing beauty, intelligence and good luck.
