Why do birds and beasts take dragons and phoenixes as kings?

Because in feudal times, emperors compared themselves to real dragons, and when there was a drought, they also asked for rain and prayed for rain from the dragon king. At that time, everyone believed in God, and secondly, the phoenix, as an auspicious bird and beast, represented eternal life or longevity, so the dragon and phoenix were kings.
