Source and description

Peng, also known as Dapeng and Dapeng Bird, is the largest bird in China myths and legends. It is an extremely huge bird in many legends in the world, which was changed from Kun.

China's word "Peng" is based on ancient books such as Shuowen and Zilin, that is, the ancient word "Feng". Shuowen said, "Phoenix flies and there are tens of thousands of birds, so friends are regarded as cronies." It can be seen that Peng on the left comes from its status as the king of birds. As far as etymology is concerned, it can be inferred that Dapeng and Fenghuang originated from the same bird totem of their ancestors, gradually differentiated and showed different characteristics.

In ancient Chinese literature, Zhuangzi was the earliest record of Peng. Zhuang Zhou said in "Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Tour": "There are fish in the northern Ming Dynasty, named Kun. Kunda, thousands of miles away. Become a bird. Its name is Peng. Peng's back is thousands of miles away. Fly away in anger, and its wings hang like clouds. " "The water hammer is three thousand miles, and the sky is nine Wan Li." "Cloudless, negative sky, and then map south"

The big bird "Xi You" described in China Wild Treasures also has a considerable relationship with Dapeng: "There are copper columns on Kunlun Mountain, which rise into the sky, and the so-called" Tianzhu "is about 3,000 miles, and its circumference is as sharp as a knife. There is a return to the government, Fang Baizhang, and the immortal nine governments rule it. There is a big bird in the sky, named you, flying south, covering Dong with Zhang and the Queen Mother of the West with the right wing; No feathers on the back, Wan Li Road. When the Queen Mother of the West boarded the wing, she met Dong. "

Zhu cited "Nerve" and said, "There are strange birds, which are green and bright. They don't sing and don't eat, covering the things of the Queen Mother. The queen mother wants to go east and join herself. Yin and Yang need each other, but they will benefit from work. " The bird is green and red. It doesn't sing or eat. A small piece of featherless back alone is 19 thousand Li wide, which shows how big it is.
