The Phoenix & Bahamut + Chinese Mythology & Symbolism
The Chinese lóng 龍 and fèng huáng 鳳凰, often translated as “dragon” and “phoenix” respectively, are very powerful symbols both in myth and symbolism, as well as cultural impact. They are often seen as counterparts of one another, representing opposite sides of the same thing in many ways—[though] this is not to say that they are in opposition with one another, as the connection between the two is often used as an allusion for a harmonious and fortunate relationship.
