Phoenix Bird in Chinese Mythology(Ref:WIKIPEDIA). Fenghuang (Chinese: ; pinyin: fènghuáng) are mythological birds found in Sinospheric mythology that reign over all other birds. It is known under similar names from various languages (Vietnamese: Phng hoàng or Phng hoàng; Japanese: H- or Hou-ou or Ho-Oh; Korean: Bonghwang). The males were originally called feng and the females huang but such a distinction of gender is often no longer made and they are blurred into a single feminine entity so that the bird can be paired with the Chinese dragon, which is traditionally deemed male. The fenghuang’s body symbolizes the celestial bodies: the head is the sky, the eyes are the sun, the back is the moon, the wings are the wind, the feet are the earth, and the tail is the planets. The fenghuang is said to have originated in the sun. Its body contains the five fundamental colors: black, white, red, yellow, and green. [2] It sometimes carries scrolls or a box with sacred books. [2] It is sometimes depicted with a fireball. It is believed that the bird only appears in areas or places that are blessed with utmost peace and prosperity or happiness. Some believe they may have been a good-luck totem among eastern tribes of ancient China. During the Han dynasty (2,200 years ago) two phoenixes, one a male (feng,) and the other a female (huang,) were often shown together facing one other. Later, during the Yuan dynasty the two terms were merged to become fenghuang, but the “King of Birds” came to symbolize the empress when paired with a dragon representing the emperor. If a phoenix was used to decorate a house it symbolized that loyalty and honesty were in the people that lived there. Or alternatively, a phoenix only stays when the ruler is without darkness and corruption. Meaning A fenghuang on the roof of Longshan Temple in Taipei Drawing of a Fum Hoam (fenghuang) by a Dutch man, circa 1664. The fenghuang has very positive connotations. It is a symbol of high virtue and grace. The fenghuang also symbolizes the union of yin and yang. The first chapter of the Classic of Mountains and Seas , the “Nanshang-jing”, records each part of fenghuang’s body symbolizing a word. The head represents virtue , the wing represents duty , the back represents propriety , the abdomen says credibility and the chest represents mercy Portrait of an empress, possibly Empress Xiaoxianchun, (wife of the Qianlong Emperor) sitting on a chair decorated with Phoenix In ancient and modern Chinese culture, they can often be found in the decorations for weddings or royalty, along with dragons. This is because the Chinese considered the dragon-and-phoenix design symbolic of blissful relations between husband and wife, another common yang and yin metaphor. In some traditions it appears in good times but hides during times of trouble, while in other traditions it appears only to mark the beginning of a new era. In China and Japan it was a symbol of the imperial house, and it represented fire, the sun, justice, obedience, and fidelity. What is the Dark Side and Light side of the rug? We take photos from both ends of the rug. Dark and light side! What we mean by this is that every hand knotted Oriental rug has a “light” side and a “dark” side. The color entirely depends on how you view the rugs nape. The shade intensity from one end of the rug may be very different from what you see on the opposite end this depends on whether one looks directly into the nape or with the nape.
