Phoenix nirvana-refers to the phoenix reborn from the fire and reborn forever: reborn from the fire is a metaphor for indomitable spirit of struggle and strong will.
The theory of phoenix nirvana comes from Mr. Guo Moruo's book of the same name, which is not an ancient legend in China. In the ancient myths and legends of China, there is no saying that the phoenix will be reborn from the ashes. The phoenix in Guo Moruo's poem "Phoenix Nirvana" actually refers to the fairy bird phoenix in western legend. Although Guo Moruo translated the fairy bird Phoenix into Phoenix, they are completely different in essence.

The Phoenix in the poem "Phoenix Nirvana" written by Mr. Guo Moruo actually refers to the fairy bird in the western legend (Phoenix, an ancient fairy bird in the Arabian Kingdom, set itself on fire after living to 500 years old, was reborn from the fire, was delicious and never died again). Drawing lessons from the legend of fairy birds in the west, the author expresses the idea of burying the old society completely and striving for the free liberation of the motherland and the poet's infinite yearning for a free, equal and harmonious new society through the story of phoenix nirvana and rebirth from the fire.
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.

The origin of the ancient fire phoenix in Jingzhou: Jingzhou is the birthplace of Chu culture. According to legend, Chu flooded for three months in a row, and the whole country became a water country. 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, and the monarch ordered all the warriors in the world to fight 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, which is the duty of the fire phoenix. The 49-day battle between Fire Phoenix and Oolong failed to win, so Fire Phoenix finally had to sacrifice herself and burn her heart to fight against 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. Still on our plain, this mountain is a big red clay bag several kilometers from Fiona Fang.
