Description
In ancient mythology, the symbolism of the majestic Phoenix bird, which is most often connected with the Sun, dies and is reborn across cultures and throughout time.
Ancient legend paints a picture of a magical bird, radiant and shimmering, which lives for several hundred years before it dies by bursting into flames. It is then reborn from the ashes, to start a new, long life. So powerful is the symbolism that it is a motif and image that is still used commonly today in popular culture and folklore.
The legendary phoenix is a large, grand bird, much like an eagle or peacock. It is brilliantly coloured in reds, purples, and yellows, as it is associated with the rising sun and fire. Sometimes a nimbus will surround it, illuminating it in the sky. Its eyes are blue and shine like sapphires. It builds its own funeral pyre or nest, and ignites it with a single clap of its wings. After death it rises gloriously from the ashes and flies away.

二、凤凰是爱情的象征

三、凤凰有“和”的象征意义
在中国文化中，凤凰形象不仅表示自然物之“和”，也表示人类社会之“和”。“凤凰“五色”后来就被看成是古代社会和谐安定的“德、义、礼、仁、信”五条伦理的象征。”其次，凤凰在民间自古就代表着和美、和谐。爱情的忠贞。
