雪中的欢心
如下：
Mythology A bird in Egyptian mythology that lived in the desert for 500 years and then consumed itself by fire, later to rise renewed from its ashes.
【神话】 不死鸟，长生鸟：埃及神话中的一种鸟，相传这种鸟在沙漠中生活五百年后身焚，然后又从其焚灰中再生。
凤凰详解：
凤凰，亦作“凤皇”，古代传说中的百鸟之王。雄的叫“凤”，雌的叫“凰”，总称为凤凰，亦称为丹鸟、火鸟、鶤鸡、威凤等。常用来象征祥瑞，凤凰齐飞，是吉祥和谐的象征，自古就是中国文化的重要元素。在甲骨文中有被商代帝王捕获的记载。
凤凰和龙的形象一样，愈往后愈复杂，最初在《山海经》中的记载仅仅是“丹穴之山，有鸟焉，其状如鸡，五采而文，名曰凤皇”，甚至还有食用的记载，《大荒西经》：“沃之野，凤鸟之卵是食， 甘露是饮”，《证类本草》云“诸天国食凤卵，如此土人食鸡卵也”，宋代凤髓被列为八珍之一。
而到最后却有了麟前鹿后，蛇头鱼尾，龙文龟背，燕颌鸡喙，成了多种鸟兽集合而成的一种神物。

相关典故
凤凰涅槃
在诗集《女神》指一个新中国的诞生（也是郭沫若第一个把凤凰与不死鸟联系了起来）。也就是说诗中的凤凰其实是不死鸟，所以凤凰浴火重生是郭沫若自己联想的，并非是中国古神话的内容。
凤凰有个传说：浴火重生。相传在五百年前，有一种神鸟，集香木自焚，然后从死灰中复活，美艳非常不再死，是以，称为不死鸟，也就是凤凰。
关于凤凰还有一说，说凤凰是死神的使者，负责勾走人的魂魄，好人升天，坏人入地。

In Persian mythology, Si'morgh, (Persian: سيمرغ, Middle Persian: senmurv) was a winged, bird-like creature that was very large and extremely ancient. The Simurgh appears in many Iranian literary classics such as Farid ud-Din Attar's Conference of the Birds as instructor and birds leader, and in Ferdowsi's epic Shahnameh (The Book of Kings); Phoenix raised up and cherished Zaal or Zal, father of Rostam. The phoenix in the Summer Palace, Beijing, China.The phoenix the central figure in Lebanese ancient and modern cultures, as Lebanese are descendants of the Phoenicians and often claim themselves sons of the Phoenix.[citation needed] Lebanon, and Beirut particularly, is often depicted symbolically as a phoenix bird having been destroyed and rebuilt 7 times during its long history. In China, Fenghuang ("凤凰") is a mythical bird superficially similar to the phoenix. It is the second most-respected legendary creature (second to the dragon), largely used to represent the empress and females. The phoenix is the leader of birds. In Japan, the phoenix is called hō-ō(kanji:"凤凰") or fushichō (不死鸟 ?); "Immortal Bird". In Russian folklore, the phoenix appears as the Zhar-Ptitsa (Жар-Птица), or firebird, subject of the famous 1910 ballet score by Igor Stravinsky. The phoenix was featured in the flags of Alexander Ypsilantis and of many other captains during the Greek Revolution, symbolizing Greece's rebirth, and was chosen by John Capodistria as the first Coat of Arms of the Greek State (1828-1832). In addition, the first modern Greek currency bore the name of phoenix. Despite being replaced by a royal Coat of Arms, it remained a popular symbol, and was used again in the 1930s by the Second Hellenic Republic. However, its use by the military junta of 1967-1974 made it extremely unpopular, and it has almost disappeared from use after 1974, with the notable exception of the Greek Order of the Phoenix).

凤凰(Chinese phoenix/phoenix)，是中国神话传说中的神异动物和百鸟之王;亦称为朱鸟、丹鸟、火鸟、鹍鸡等，在西方神话里又叫火鸟、不死鸟，形象一般为尾巴比较长的火烈鸟，并周身是火，估计是人们对火烈鸟加以神话加工、演化而来的。神话中说，凤凰每次死后，会周身燃起大火，然后其在烈火中获得重生，并获得较之以前更强大的生命力，称之为“凤凰涅盘”。如此周而复始，凤凰获得了永生，故有“不死鸟”的名称。凤凰和麒麟一样，是雌雄统称，雄为凤，雌为凰，其总称为凤凰。凤凰齐飞，是吉祥和谐的象征。 它跟龙的形象一样，愈往后愈复杂，有了鸿头、麟臀、蛇颈、鱼尾、纹、龟躯、燕子的下巴、鸡的嘴。自古以来凤凰就成了中华民族文化中的重要组成部分。神话神话[拼音] [shén huà] [1]名词a fairy tale ; ( a ) myth ; mythology ; fable ; a fairy story
