Although there is no "phoenix" in the world, it has a unique cultural spirit of "phoenix". In ancient times, the "phoenix" was regarded as the "king of the birds". The legendary "phoenix" is a spirit bird that can know the world and control chaos, and has always been revered by people. The "Hundred Phoenixes and Ming" created by the two of us, replacing "chickens" with "phoenix", of course, wants to gather the wisdom of the phoenix, the color of the phoenix, and the glory of the xiao chicken vibrating wings and singing the hundred phoenixes and singing.

The chapter shapes are diamond-shaped, and the pattern is rich and red, in order to welcome the joy and receive the blessing, the meaning of Na Xiang QiRui.

In addition, we also focus on the "five virtues" of chickens, especially the heroic spirit. Exaggerate the bright red chicken crown, showing the gentle and elegant literati demeanor; feathers flying, sharp claws and double pedals, highlighting its martial posture; Gu Pan left and right, seeing food and calling, so that the benevolent chicken has a sense of amiability, friendliness and mutual assistance, and happiness. The printing surface of many chicken fights is more carved with the mighty and indomitable courage of the chicken. Faithful chicken loyal to their duties, perseverance. In order to innovate, we often observe sketching and understand the posture of singing and singing from poems such as "Morning Rooster Vibrating and Singing" and "Chong Guan Leading neck to the sky" from ancient and modern celebrities. At the same time, the chickens in folklore are carved with yin, turned into phoenixes, and soared in the thick red background, some standing on the top of the fusang tree, corresponding to the sun golden bird, in order to summon the chickens of the world to sing; some stretch their wings, take majestic steps, exorcise evil spirits, cut thorns and thorns, forge ahead, and become a symbol of endless vitality.
