About
The character 凤 represents the male phoenix of Chinese mythology, often paired with the female ‘huang’ to symbolize imperial authority and marital harmony. Its traditional form, 鳳, is a phono-semantic compound: the inner radical for ‘bird’ provides the meaning, enclosed by an outer component that suggests a sail or something common. In the modern simplified version, the complex internal bird radical is replaced with a simple two-stroke element, streamlining the character while preserving its distinctive outer frame.
