凤凰 (Fenghuang): 凤 (Feng) & 凰 (Huang)

Etymology: From Mandarin Chinese (feng, male phoenix) and (huang, female phoenix).

  1. 📖 A mythical bird in Chinese mythology, commonly known as the “Chinese Phoenix.” The Fenghuang symbolizes harmony, balance, and virtue, uniting both male (feng) and female (huang) qualities to represent cosmic duality and universal harmony.
  2. 📖 Traditionally associated with prosperity, peace, and moral governance, the Fenghuang is believed to appear only in times of great harmony or under the rule of a virtuous leader.
  3. 📖 Depicted as a composite creature, the Fenghuang features elements of various animals, including the head of a pheasant, the tail of a peacock, and the body of a dragon. Variations sometimes include attributes of roosters or ducks.
  4. 📖 First recorded in texts like the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas) and the Shijing (Book of Songs), the Fenghuang embodies yin-yang duality, cosmic balance, and imperial power, serving as a counterpart to the dragon in representing the empress in Chinese culture.
