The "Chinese Phoenix," known as Fenghuang, is a mythical bird in Chinese culture symbolizing high virtue and grace. It is often associated with the empress and represents harmony, prosperity, and good fortune. Unlike the Western phoenix, which is known for rising from its ashes, the Fenghuang embodies the balance of yin and yang, showcasing both male and female characteristics. In traditional Chinese art, the Fenghuang is depicted with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, often accompanied by dragons, which symbolize the emperor. The bird is also a popular motif in weddings, signifying a harmonious union and a prosperous future for the couple.
