A typical portrayal of the phoenix is that it has the leader of a brilliant bird, the bill of a parrot, the body of a mandarin duck, the wings of a roc, the quills of a peacock and the legs of a crane. The phoenix is an image of ethicalness and beauty, force and flourishing. It is said to be a tender animal; so delicate that its feet pounds nothing and it eats just dewdrops. It ordinarily speaks to the female part of the yin and yang, and in antiquated times, just the Chinese Empress can utilize the phoenix as her image. There is additionally the white crane, which is the most essential flying creature in Chinese society, after the phoenix. Cranes are accepted to be undying, in this manner symbolizing life span.

While in the West, mythical serpents are viewed as detestable, Chinese monsters speak to power and intensity and control over water. In yin and yang wording, the mythical beast is yang, or male; while the phoenix is yin, or female. Winged serpents have their own chain of command, and to know where the monster stands, tally the quantity of paws. The most astounding request is the five-mauled mythical beast, trailed by the four-pawed and three-ripped at monster. Since the five-tore mythical beast is viewed as a royal winged serpent in China, the further from China a monster went, the less hooks it had. That is the reason Korean mythical serpents have four hooks and Japanese ones have three. What's more, since Malaysia is viewed as a Chinese branch, it is permitted to utilize just four hooks on its winged serpents. In old times, uncalled for utilization of the quantity of paws was considered treachery, and the wrongdoer's whole faction can be executed.
