“Feilian” is a mythical bird in the legend, and there are people who write “Feilian” in the literature, Huainanzi called it the mount of a true man: “If you are a real man, you can swim in the field of destruction in the deepest emptiness, ride on a cheap horse from the top of the hill, drive outside the square, and rest in the sky. Jin Shao said that its body is like a deer, its head is like a jue, it has horns and snake tail, and its pattern is like a leopard. The immortals and gods in the legend of the ancients were all fabricated by the Society, so there was no agreement. According to the Book of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wudi was bewitched by Gongsun Qing to “build the Tiantai of Ganquan and the Feilian Pavilion of Chang’an”, and sent people to hold the festival and set up a set to meet the gods. The folk nature is unable to create, so they have to cast some seals on mythological themes to wear and chat with their feelings.
