What is the relationship between phoenix and buttonwood in China traditional culture?

Since ancient times, there have been four gods in China: forest, wind, ghost and dragon. Dragon, representing the emperor, always talks the most and gives the most examples. Today, let's talk about "Phoenix" related to women. The Han Dynasty is an important period for the formation of traditional culture in China, and the phoenix culture has developed greatly during this period. In the Han Dynasty, almost all handicrafts and architectural decorations were designed with birds of nature.

Phoenix, also known as "Phoenix Emperor", is the king of birds in ancient legends. The male name is "Phoenix". Also known as Dan Bird, Flamingo, Hen and Haoran. Phoenix is often used to symbolize auspiciousness and Qi Fei. It is a symbol of auspiciousness and harmony, and has been an important part of China culture since ancient times.

"Phoenix" and "Phoenix Emperor" originally refer to two kinds of colorful birds. Phoenix is a phoenix, and the phoenix emperor is a royal bird. According to Shan Hai Jing, there are three kinds of birds in the collection, one is the imperial bird and the other is the phoenix bird.
