What are the characteristics of dragon and phoenix patterns in Tang Dynasty?

There are many kinds of dragon and phoenix patterns in Tang Dynasty, such as Yunlong pattern and Yulong pattern. The dragon with cloud dragon pattern is still thick in the middle, with small head and thin tail, prominent limbs and many three-claw tails sticking out from its hind limbs. Generally, circles are suitable for patterns, and moire filling is used as a foil. Moire patterns in the Tang Dynasty were mostly used in ceramics, jade carvings and bronze mirrors, and Yunlong on the bronze mirror was the most wonderful.

Phoenix patterns in Tang Dynasty mostly appeared in the form of spreading wings and dancing, so they were called dancing phoenix patterns. Before this, until the Tang Dynasty, the phoenix pattern mostly showed Suzaku standing or spreading his wings, with Henaan on his head, holding his head high, a long corolla and a curly fish tail on his head, which was often used as a foil with dragons.
