=== Fenghuang === {{Main|Fenghuang}} [[File:伏羲庙之凤.jpg|thumb|Relief of a [[fenghuang]] in Fuxi Temple (Tianshui). They are mythological birds of East Asia that reign over all other birds.]] Fenghuang (鳳凰) are [[Chinese mythology|mythological]] birds found in Chinese and East Asian mythology that reign over all other birds. The [[male]]s were originally called '''''feng''''' and the [[female]]s '''''huang''''' but such a distinction of gender is often no longer made and they are blurred into a single feminine entity so that the bird can be paired with the [[Chinese dragon]], which is traditionally deemed male. The fenghuang is also called the "August Rooster" ({{zh|t=鶤雞 or 鵾雞|s=鹍鸡|w=yün<sup>4</sup>-chi<sup>1</sup> or k'un<sup>1</sup>-chi<sup>1</sup>|p=yùnjī or kūnjī}}) since it sometimes takes the place of the [[Rooster (zodiac)|Rooster]] in the [[Chinese zodiac]].{{citation needed|date=April 2013}} In the Western world, it is commonly called the Chinese phoenix or simply Phoenix, although mythological similarities with the Western [[Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix]] are superficial.{{citation needed|date=December 2016}}
