The Story of Folklore
The Phoenix is an imaginary bird, which in both ancient Greek and Chinese mythologies, has abilities to resurrect and emerge from the burning fire. It is the most important animal in Chinese folklores.
The crane also has a legendary status. Embodying longevity and peace, it is the second most favored bird symbol after the phoenix. More romantically, the crane represents long-lasting love and loyalty in marriage. Throughout all of Asia, the crane has been a symbol of happiness and eternal youth. In Japanese, Chinese, and Korean tradition, cranes stand for good fortune and longevity because of its fabled life span of a thousand years.
