  • Catalogue Essay

    Phoenix, in Greek mythology, is a long-living bird which is cyclically reborn. Associated with the Sun, the phoenix dies in a show of flame and combustion, and will obtain new life by rising from the ashes of its predecessor. In Chinese culture, phoenix or fenghuang also has a divine position, reigning over all other birds and a symbol of the empress. Fenghuang, as the “King of Birds”, has very positive connotations of high virtue and grace, and symbolises the union of yin and yang. Up to now, fenghuang is often found in the decorations for weddings or royalty, alongside the dragons.
