"Dragon and Phoenix present auspiciousness" often refers to auspicious and festive events. "Phoenix" was first used as the original totem of Chu people.
It is a symbol of truth, goodness and beauty. Over time, it became intertwined with Huang, a female phoenix, and started to represent a male phoenix. Today, lóng fèng chéng xiáng is mainly used in wedding ceremonies, indicating that the couple is harmonious and the marriage is happy.
