What are the changes in the Song Dynasty dragon and phoenix pattern?

Song dynasty dragon pattern its image has changed dramatically, that is, from the Han and Tang dynasty since the beast-shaped, thick body, thin tail, four feet like a beast, and then restored to the Han before the python shape, long body, four feet thick and short, can be coiled up the shape of the foot.

Song dynasty paintings in the cloud dragon figure, ding kiln, magnetic state kiln dragon pattern and woof hundred flowers save dragon pattern, generally are snake python shape. The dragon pattern is mostly applied alone or combined with clouds and water.

Song dynasty phoenix pattern has been made to fly, unlike the standing posture of the Han and Tang dynasties. Wings stretched out, tail fluttering, or as a feather, or as a curly grass, but no longer as gorgeous as the contemporary. At this time, the phoenix pattern more with luan, male and female luan; or for the phoenix, male and female phoenix.
