The song "A Hundred Birds at the Phoenix" is divided into three parts. The first paragraph says that the phoenix died and all the birds came to the court to say their last goodbye. This also plays a role in funeral.
The second paragraph is a picture of the phoenix reborn and the return of the king. This paragraph is usually used for a child's full moon.
In the third paragraph, the phoenix flies and the birds come to see each other off, which is a happy event celebrated all over the world. This passage is generally used for such a happy event as marriage.
Legend has it that a long time ago, the phoenix was not a phoenix, but an ordinary bird with few feathers and an average appearance. Its name is Phoenix, and many birds refuse to pay attention to it because it looks a little ugly. But Phoenix is very hardworking. It is busy picking fruits from morning till night every day, picking fruits that people don't want and hiding them in holes.
When other birds saw him do this, they laughed at Phoenix, saying that Phoenix was insatiable. They laughed at Phoenix together and gradually moved away from Phoenix. Before long, it didn't rain for a long time, and there was a drought in the forest. Birds look for food everywhere, but the fruit has withered and they can't find anything to eat at all.
Birds are very hungry. Many birds can't fly. Phoenix quickly opened its cave, took out the dried fruit stored for many years, and enjoyed it with everyone. In this way, with the help of Phoenix, all the birds were helped.
In order to thank Phoenix for saving his life, all the birds took a feather from his body, made a beautiful bird costume for Phoenix, and made Phoenix king of Bai Niao together.
Since then, every year on the day when Phoenix was crowned king, all the birds will come to see Phoenix. It can be said that Bai Niao worships the phoenix and Bai Niao worships the king.
