What does Peng's image represent?

The literary image of "Peng" is the biggest bird in China myths and legends, which evolved from "Kun". China's word "Peng" is based on Shuowen, Zilin and other classics, that is, the ancient word "Feng". Shuowen said, "Phoenix flies and there are tens of thousands of birds, so friends are regarded as cronies." It can be seen that Peng on the left comes from its status as the king of birds. As far as etymology is concerned, it can be inferred that Dapeng and Fenghuang originated from the same bird totem of their ancestors, gradually differentiated and formed different characteristics.

In the ancient literature of China, the earliest record of Peng is Zhuangzi. Zhuang Zhou said in "Zhuangzi-Xiaoyao Tour" that "there are fish in the north called Kun. Kunda, thousands of miles away. Become a bird. Its name is Peng. Peng's back is thousands of miles away. Flying in anger, if its wings are hanging in the clouds of the sky ","The water hammer is three thousand Li, and the soaring person is nine Wan Li ","Clouds leave, the sky is blue, and then the map is south ",and Zhuang Zhou described a magnificent bird with Wang Yang's bold and magnificent style. Out of the water, it is prosperous, and into the water, it is Kun.
