It represents six celestial bodies that today can be understood roughly as: head is heaven, eyes are sun, back is moon, wings are wind, feet are earth and tail are planets. Its feathers represent the colors of the Five Elements: black, white, red, and yellow green. Around Fenghuang emits heat, a warm fire like the morning light. That light has the ability to soothe the loneliness, the emotional and physical suffering of those who approach it. Fenghuang is considered to be the symbol of peaceful love, bliss, relief, and healing.

Fenghuang prefers to stay alone in deserted, serene places, rocky and rugged, to be a noble king of birds. Each large area has only one individual Fenghuang.

As such it represents the sky, as it flies or dances (phoenix Universe) is representing the operation of the universe. So phoenix is the image of a saint, of happiness. If the dragon has the yang element, representing the king, the phoenix has the negative element, so it represents the queen and the beautiful woman.
