- The Fenghuang is often called the Chinese Phoenix, which makes it seem like a Chinese version of the Phoenix of Greek mythology, a bird that would repeatedly die in a burst of flames and then be reborn from the ashes, representing Rebirth.
- The FengHuang Bird is from Chinese Mythology and symbolizes both Male and Female qualities. The Phoenix also represents Six Celestial Objects: the Sky, the Sun, the Moon, the Wind, the Earth, and the Planets. Although the FengHuang has been compared to the Phoenix from Greek Mythology (the Bird that is Reborn from Flames), they have numerous differences.
- Because the Phoenix unites the Male and Female (Feng and Huang), the FengHuang has a mixture of the Yin and Yang. In the Eastern Tradition, the combination of Yin and Yang represents Perfect Balance and Harmony. Because of this, it was often associated with the idea of Joining Together and uniting two different parts to make a whole, which made the FengHuang the ideal symbol for Wedding Ceremonies.
- However, while the FengHuang traditionally symbolizes Harmony and Balance, it also has various other meanings that depend upon what accompanies the Phoenix. For example, during the Huang Dynasty, the FengHuang represented the Empress. During the same time, the Dragon became the symbol for the Emperor. When the FengHuang symbolized the Empress, it meant that there was no darkness or corruption in Her Court. If the FengHuang ever left the Court of the Empress, it meant that Her Court was no longer pure.
