How to introduce something-China traditional mascot?

To introduce the traditional mascots in China, we should first introduce the origin of mascots, how to call them mascots, then what they mean, and finally what happened in modern times. Examples are as follows:

Phoenix, the "King of Birds", is also the most famous auspicious bird in ancient China. The prototype of the chicken in the zodiac is the phoenix, which was originally positive and also called the sunbird. It also has the characteristics of being far from fire, so it is also called fire phoenix, just like the immortal birds in the west. The dragon bottom is negative, which is the representative of aquatic life.

Regarding the Han Dynasty, because Liu Bang claimed to be the reincarnation of the white dragon, he described the emperor as the real dragon emperor, and the dragon changed from a negative animal to a positive animal, while the phoenix changed from a positive animal to a negative animal and became a symbol animal of the queen. For thousands of years, Phoenix has been regarded as a symbol of beauty, auspiciousness, kindness, tranquility, virtue, naturalness, harmony, humanity, peace and brightness in the eyes of China people. For example, couples love each other or wish each other a happy marriage.

According to ancient records, Phoenix is a beautiful bird, and its singing and manners are the king of birds. It can bring auspicious feelings to the world, and at the same time it has the special spirituality of' don't be an unripe phoenix tree, don't eat bamboo, and don't drink water from a spring'. Because it is a feather worm, it gradually became a pair with the legendary dragon that is a scale worm.

A changeable one and a wonderful one have become a pair that complement each other in folk customs. Moreover, because the dragon symbolizes the supreme sun, the phoenix (the phoenix is the male and the female is the phoenix), which was originally divided into yin and yang, has gradually become the representative of pure yin after being opposed to the dragon. Legend has it that phoenix gives birth to eagle, eagle gives birth to peacock, and peacock gives birth to turtledove. It's amazing that each generation is worse than the next.
