Chinese Phoenix : Assembly Instructions
Chinese Phoenix
Known in Chinese as Fenghuang, the Chinese Phoenix is a mythological bird, that is said to reign over all other winged
creatures. The males are known as Feng and the females as Huang. They are said to be similar in appearance to a peacock,
but are about 130~170cm tall and colored in five vibrant shades. They sing a melody that spans five different notes. The
Fenghuang is said to drink from sacred springs and feed on bamboo seeds, and nest only in wu t'ung trees. In the Classic of
Rites, the Fenghuang is named as one of the four holy animals of Chinese mythology, along with the unicorn Qilin, the tortoise
Gui Xian, and the dragon Long.
With this papercraft you can create a bright, five-colored Fenghuang in flight position. The model measures approx. 65cm in
length and 60cm across.
