Last time, I said that the carpenter learned a lot about the legend of the "phoenix" from the subordinates of the "seniors", and he thought it was very interesting and decided to continue listening to it.

"Guangya Shi Bird" recorded: "Luan Bird, Fenghuang genus. According to the records of the ancients, there are many different types of phoenixes, and there are different theories.

In the "Book of Birds", many of them belong to the Qin and Han dynasties, but there are four: one is the Luan bird, the second is the bird, the third is the bird (bird righteousness), and the fourth is the cormorant. Among these four names, "鸑鷟鷟", also known as "鷟鸑", is actually a transliteration of "bird/bird", and it is actually a "turkey" in the mortal world in later generations.

"Bird" originally referred to the "ostrich" at that time and the "turkey" of Turkey in later generations, but later it referred to the golden rooster, mandarin duck, and the pistol, that is, the second bird.

In ancient times, the sun was also known as "Danzhu", and "Danxue" was the mountain of the sun. "Beginner's Notes" Volume 30 of the weft book "Kong Yantu" records: "Phoenix, fire spirit. This means that the phoenix itself contains the essence of the sun.

"Hug Puzi" records the five elements of Fenggu: "Fumu acts benevolently, is green, and the crested head is green, so it is said that Dai Ren is also; Jin Xingyi is righteous, white, phoenix neck white, so it is said to be righteous; The fire act is red, and the phoenix's back (or mouth) is red, so it is said to be a negative ceremony; Water is wise, black, phoenix chest black, so it is said to be wise (knowledge); The soil line is a letter, it is yellow, and the phoenix is yellow, so it is said that the letter is also. ”

"Hug Puzi" records that the cormorant (phoenix alias) Ming Zhou: "Therefore, Taihao learned the spider and built a web, Jin Tian according to the nine birds to the right time, and Emperor Xuan and Feng Ming to tune...... The cormorant saw the prosperity of the Zhou family, and the turtle and crane were biased and raised, which is not strange. ”

"Wei Shu Wang Xian's Biography" records: "The phoenix is not a sycamore. It means that the phoenix chooses the tree to perch, and then the metaphor is that the virtuous choose the master to serve. Guo Pu's "Picture of Mountains and Seas" cloud: "Phoenix Emperor Spirit Bird, real crown feather flock." Eight images of its body, five virtues and its text. Raise your wings to come to the ceremony, and respond to my holy monarch. ”

"Collected Memories": "Yao reigned for seventy years...... There is a country of branches, and the bird of the heavy light...... It is like a chicken, and it is like a phoenix, and it can chase away fierce beasts, tigers and wolves, so that the demons and disasters cannot be harmed...... When it does not arrive, the people of the country either carve wood, or cast gold, for this bird, placed between the portals, then the charm and ugliness will naturally retreat. ”

Nanqi Xie Hao's "Ten Songs of Yongming Music" recorded: "The colorful phoenix sings the rising sun, and the crane dances the Qing Shang; Rui this Yongming song, thousands of years for the golden emperor. ”

There is a record in the Sui Dynasty that the phoenix originated from the Vermilion Bird, such as the "Five Elements of Righteousness: The Nineteenth Treatise on Governance" believes that the phoenix belongs to a kind of Vermilion Bird: "The phoenix comes." See you in the yellow bird. Phoenix, Vermilion Bird and the like. Joy of the past. Manna. Yellow Bird. And the son celebrates his mother also. ”

"Tang Liudian" recorded: "Da Rui is Jingxing, Qingyun, Huangxing Zhenren, River Spirit, Lin, Feng, Luan, Biyi Bird, Concentric Bird, Yongle Bird...... All are Da Rui. ”

It means that there is a kind of sacred bird named "auspicious" in the Tang Liudian, which is an auspicious beast, with the head and feet of a roe deer, and a phoenix body, which is opposite to wealth and wealth, and is the thing of Darui); "Book of Zhou: Wang Hui Chapter" records: "Xishen is a phoenix bird; The phoenix bird, Dai Ren, hold righteousness, and hold faith. Diqiang to Luan birds. The Ba people are compared to winged birds. Anti-Yang to the emperor bird, Shu people to Wen Han, Wen Han, Ruogao chicken. ”

Ba people, tribute "winged birds". Fang Yang, tribute "Emperor Bird". Shu people, tribute "heavenly chicken". The sky chicken is like a multicolored chicken.

This bird is the Zuo of the Phoenix, and you should be the emperor's assistant. So I thought it was a name. At the beginning of the eagle, he raised the jinshi, and when he went to Huaizhou, Mengqingyun covered his body. ”

"The Ruling and Opposition Papers, Volume II" records: "Every time a prisoner is sent to lie on his body, he must lay thorns and lie on his body, sharpen his bamboo sticks, press his ankles with square beams, break tiles and rub his knees, send immortals to offer fruits, jade girls to climb ladders, calves to hang horses, donkeys to pull pegs, phoenixes to dry their wings, macaques to drill fires, go up to Maisuo, and go down to the diaphragm. ”

Quoted in "Dongguan Hanji", it says: "The phoenix is eight feet high." "Hearing and Seeing Records": "Birds of Wutong dare not perch, and they should avoid the phoenix." (The sycamore is the king of the tree, according to legend, it is the spirit tree, it can know the time and the order, as the king of the birds, the phoenix is pregnant with the universe, and the other birds dare not stand on it.)

"The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Five Elements Zhi II" cites the "Le Xie Tu Zheng" ("Le Ye Tu Zheng") records: "The five phoenixes (as "five birds", because of the central one, the name of the phoenix emperor) are all five colors (the five kinds of phoenix birds are all five colors), one for Rui, and four for the evildoer. ”

Cai Heng, the Taishi of the Yuan Dynasty: Those who are like phoenixes have five colors, those who are red are phoenixes, those who are green are luan, those who are yellow are eagles, those who are purple are cormorants, and those who are white are Honghu. "Primary School Pearls" volume 10: "The five phoenixes are called: the phoenix elephant is five, and the five-colored and red phoenix; Yellow Eagle; Qingzhiluan; The purple one is the cormorant, and the white one is the bird. ”

It means that there are five categories of "five phoenixes", that is, "phoenixes", five colors and red are phoenixes, yellow feathers are luans, blue feathers are luans, purple feathers are cormorants, and white feathers are honghu.

"Shilin Guangji" recorded: "Cormorants, phoenix chicks, spirit birds, see the world is peaceful." It means that the cormorant is the nestling of the phoenix, a spiritual bird that represents auspiciousness, and seeing it represents the peace of the world.

In the Ming Dynasty, there are records of the phoenix eating the dragon's brain in folklore, such as the record of "Five Miscellaneous Tales, Volume 9, Monobu I": "In the Tang Kaiyuan, there are phoenixes chasing two dragons to Huayin, the dragon falls to the ground, and turns into two clear springs, one of which is the phoenix's claws and bleeding, and the spring is red, and now there are dragon bones and mountain clouds. Therefore, it is said that the phoenix likes to eat borneol, so the dragon is afraid of it. The picture of the bird king and the dragon in this world is also covered here. Fu Feng does not eat bamboo, but also loves borneol. ”

The phoenix has the saying that "there are three hundred and sixty feather insects, and the phoenix is long" (Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica"); The phoenix is also the southern vermilion bird (Li Shizhen). "Night Sailing Boat, Volume 174, Spiritual Department" records: "Rui Niao also. Zhang Hua said: Luan, the phoenix, the first phoenix, the first phoenix, for a long time, the colorful change, its sound is like a bell. The cultural relics of Zhou are prepared, and the car is decorated with a big bell, and the sound of Luan is also, so it is changed to Luan driving. ”

"Suspicion" Volume 2 Yun: "The phoenix is called a quail from the west, and the main epidemic is the main epidemic, and the ominous bird is also." The "Book of Human Mirrors" records: "All the birds of the five directions are like phoenixes, not also." Oriental invention, the whole body is always green. Western Partridge, the whole body is always white. The south is scorched, and the whole body is always red. The north is secluded, and it is also said to have retreated, and the whole body is always black. The central bird is called Jade Finch, also known as Phoenix, and the whole body is always yellow. ”

He Liangjun's "Four Friends Zhai Cong Said" recorded: "Kang's writing on the mountain is admired by the world, like a rarity. "Yongle Canon" recorded: "(Han) Taishi Ling Cai Heng said: All those who look like phoenixes have five colors, more red phoenixes, more green ones Luan, more yellow ones with ducks, more purple ones with cormorants, and more white ones with Honghu." ”

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a book "History of the Eight Wastes" recorded: "The Junzi Kingdom is in the East, and its people are dressed with swords and drive Wenhu." The phoenix is out of the outskirts. Good manners are indisputable. The soil is only a thousand miles, and there are many people and diseases, so it is not resting. ”

"Yuhan Mountain House Collection Book" records: "There are five phoenixes in the world, and the five phoenixes are all five colors. One is Rui, and four is evil. Like the phoenix four, and for the demon. A partridge is called faith, benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, and courtesy. The second is invention, that is, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courtesy, and righteousness. The three are Jiao Ming, that is, faith, wisdom, righteousness, courtesy, and benevolence. The four are Youchang, that is, faith, benevolence, wisdom, courtesy, and righteousness. ”

"Jian Gu Ji" recorded: "It is called the birthday of the phoenix. The birds congratulate. But the bats don't come. Feng Xunzhi. The bat said: I have enough to walk. Beasts also. Not for the longevity of the Yu family. Kirin's birthday. Congratulations to all the beasts. Neither the bats came. Lin Xunzhi. The bat said. I have wings and I can fly. Poultry also. Not for caterpillar longevity. Between the Rings and the Phoenix. Speaking of bats. Xiang and sighed. There are such beasts in the world that hide from treacherous tricks. ”

It means that when the phoenix, the king of birds, celebrates his birthday, all kinds of birds in the world send their representatives to attend the birthday banquet of the phoenix, only the bats do not care about this set, the phoenix sees that the only bat is missing in the group of birds, and it is very unhappy, and when it encounters a bat, it blames it and says: "All the birds in the world are under my jurisdiction, what is so great about you?" ”

The bat said that I walked on two feet, and that I was a beast, so naturally I didn't go with birds. When the king of beasts, the unicorn, celebrates his birthday, a horde of beasts go to participate, and the bat does not go, and the unicorn blames it after knowing it, and the bat says that I have wings and can fly, and I belong to the category of birds, and I am not comparable to the animals of your feathered insects and hairy beasts.

Later, when the phoenix and the unicorn meet (the beast is the length of the unicorn, and the bird is the length of the phoenix), they talk about bats and sigh to each other, where in the world is there such a cunning and treacherous beast? This shows that although the phoenix, the unicorn, and the true dragon are the bloodlines left over from the true spirits of the ancient desolation, they are sometimes not easy to use.
