Why is Linyi called Phoenix?

1. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a Phoenix Ridge in the east of Linyi, which was shaped like a phoenix and stretched for several miles. There are often phoenix trees living on the ridge, so the ancients called Langya "Phoenix City".

Linyi is the birthplace and center of Dongyi culture. Dongyi people take phoenix as their totem, and Linyi is the birthplace of phoenix culture, pretending to be Phoenix City.
