Description
This is an image of a marble carving that is found typically between steps leading to any holy and religious site in China. The carving is of a dragon and a phoenix. The Chinese Dragon symbolizes Yang (light, sun, masculine, etc.) and the Chinese Phoenix symbolizes Yin (darkness, night, feminine, etc.)
The early Chinese also believed in four magical, spiritual and benevolent animals; the Dragon, the Phoenix, the Tortoise and the Unicorn. The Dragon was the most revered of all. In it’s claws it holds an enormous magical pearl, which has the power to multiply whatever it touches. The ancients believed the pearl symbolized the most precious treasure – wisdom.
Like the dragon the Phoenix is made up of various elements, typifying the entire cosmos. It has the head of a cock representing the sun, the back of a swallow as the crescent moon, its wings are the wind, its tail represents trees and flowers, and its feet are the earth. Its parts and colors typically symbolize various virtues, including righteousness, sincerity, its voice chants melody, its ear enjoys music, its heart conforms to regulations, its breast contains the treasures of literature, and its spurs are powerful against transgressors.
The Chinese Dragons are commonly symbols of good luck or health, and are also sometimes worshipped. They are considered as mythical rulers of weather (specifically rain and water), and are usually depicted as the guardians of pearls. The Phoenix is the second most-respected legendary creature (second to the dragon), and is the leader of birds.
