Abstract

“Phoenix” has always been a symbol of auspiciousness and one of the most familiar mythical creatures for the Chinese people, but its prototype has always been controversial. This article uses Fraser’s “The Golden Branch” and Jung’s psychoanalytic theory to analyze the literature interpretation of the myth archetype criticism in the 20th century, and explores the phoenix archetype based on the mythological archetype criticism, and concludes that the phoenix is not a real creature. The original prototype of phoenix may be a pheasant bird. The ancients created the decorate patterns with their own imagination. Also, this article analyzes the shapes and characteristics of phoenix in each dynasty, aiming to enhance the sense of belonging to Chinese national culture.
