Which phoenix is female and which is male?
"Phoenix" refers to females, and "Phoenix" refers to males.

In the most ancient times, phoenix and phoenix were not originally one. Phoenix is destined to be a phoenix bird; Huang Ben is the emperor, referring to the royal bird in Shan Hai Jing. Of course, "Phoenix" and "Phoenix" are the kings of birds in China's myths and legends, and they are auspicious birds. As the king of birds, the auspicious bird, later Phoenix and Kirin were collectively called male and female, the male being the phoenix and the female being the phoenix.

Historical origin

The origin of Phoenix is about the Neolithic Age, and many bird patterns on pottery in primitive society are the embryonic form of Phoenix. 1977,7000 years ago, the "morning-patterned ivory dish of two birds" was unearthed at Hemudu cultural site. On both sides of this artifact, there is a phoenix with wings flying, round eyes, hooked beak, neck stretching and head holding, embracing the sun, which vividly reflects the worship of ancestors to the bird that knows when and the sun that shines on everything after the invention of primitive agriculture. Hemudu Phoenix was once considered as the earliest phoenix pattern in China by archaeological circles.
