I. Introduction:
Qingluan, also known as Cangluan, has been endowed with many meanings. The most common saying is that Qingluan is a god bird who often accompanies the Queen Mother of the West, and is also the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West. It is unique in the world, and its sound is similar to that of a phoenix.
"Shan Hai Jing Shan Jing" Xishan Jing is 220 miles west, saying that Sanwei Mountain is the place where three jade birds live. Guo Puyun's three jade birds are mainly eaters of the Queen Mother of the West, so don't live on this mountain. Zhao Lingzhi of the Song Dynasty forgot to sleep and eat when she died in Hualian. You don't have to rely on fish geese to clear Nalan Xingde's "Bright Moon beyond the Great Wall in Shanghai Tangzhong Garden", and the blue sky and sea of clouds are absolutely silent.
According to legend, Wang Bin was decorated with a golden fan by a phoenix bird on Qi Jun Mountain. He ate in shame, but he didn't sing for three years. His wife said she would smell the bird and sing. Why not hang it in the mirror and reflect it? The king groaned at his intention, and the cloud was exhausted. Later, she borrowed qingluan's mirror.
Qingluan's body is close to a peacock, and her body is as gorgeous as a chicken feather. The male bird's sharp tail feathers are particularly long, and there are many red, yellow and white eye stripes on its wings. It was a phoenix when it unfolded. The ancients regarded the red one as a phoenix and the blue one as a phoenix. According to legend, birds like phoenix are auspicious signs of peace and celebration.
Second, the legend:
The legendary qingluan was born in heaven and earth, beautiful and elegant but unable to make a sound. It is lonely because it has never found its own kind. The envious eyes of other birds did not add to its aura, but deepened its loneliness.
Until one day it met the wind and yellow, it understood the meaning of its existence, so it began to look for another qingluan. It flew over the mountains, the sea, the desert and the city, but never found a bird like it.
When it was exhausted, it landed on the window of a family with a mirror in front of it. As soon as Qingluan's eyes lit up, she saw a bird exactly like it and was looking at it with eager eyes. The other one finally found the other one. It sang a beautiful song that no other bird had ever sung, so Qingluan was also used to be extended to love.
