Meaning:
Phoenix nirvana _: refers to the phoenix reborn in the fire and obtaining eternal life;
Fire rebirth: rebirth after being burned by fire;
Metaphor indomitable spirit of struggle and strong will.
Phoenix nirvana can also be compared to a person who has experienced the pain of the world for a long time, and has generally moved from impetuousness, depression and dying to maturity, stability and strength.
The phoenix nirvana is not an ancient legend in China, and there is no saying that the phoenix will be reborn from the ashes in ancient myths and legends in China.
The phoenix in Mr. Guo Moruo's poem "Phoenix Nie _" actually refers to the fairy bird in the west, which set itself on fire after 500 years old and was reborn from the ashes and never died again.
Mr. Guo Moruo draws lessons from the legend of fairy birds in the west, and through the story of phoenix reborn from the fire, he expresses the idea of completely burying the old society and striving for the freedom and liberation of the motherland and the poet's infinite yearning for a free, equal and harmonious new society.
The "immortal bird" in western mythology is somewhat different from the legendary phoenix in China. The fairy birds in the west are similar to eagles, while the legendary phoenix in China is more like chickens and pheasants in image. However, in modern times, influenced by the myth of the rebirth of the immortal bird (Phoenix) in the west and Japanese popular culture, Chinese people sometimes regard the immortal bird as a phoenix or a suzaku in translation and cognition.

Legend of "Phoenix Nirvana _ Rebirth from the Fire"
According to legend, there was a flood in Chu one year, and it didn't rain for three consecutive months. The whole country has become a water country, and the people are miserable. The king of Chu set up an altar to worship the sun and prayed for the sun to come out as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, the evil oolong continued to rain. The monarch ordered the warriors in the world to crusade against the evil oolong, and the result was defeated and eaten by the evil oolong.
A counselor said that there is a Phoenix Mountain in the east of Chu, and there is a god bird named Fire Phoenix on the mountain. The monarch and counselor of Chu invited the fire phoenix to exorcise evil spirits, and the fire phoenix was duty-bound. The battle between Fire Phoenix and Oolong lasted for 7749 days.
Finally, the fire phoenix had to sacrifice herself and burn her heart to fight against the oolong. Finally, the fire phoenix and the oolong were reduced to ashes at the same time, and the world reappeared. In order to commemorate the fire phoenix, the Chu people built a fire phoenix altar on Phoenix Mountain.
