One of the five phases behind your Primal Zodiac Animal
the flame
Fire in China is the gift that made civilisation and the force that renews it. From the first drilled spark to the phoenix rising from the flame, Fire carries both warmth and transformation.
Myth credits 燧人氏 (Suìrénshì) with drilling wood to make fire and teaching people to cook, and names 祝融 (Zhùróng) the god of fire. The Vermilion Bird 朱雀 (Zhūquè) guards the south and the summer, and the phoenix 鳳凰 (fènghuáng) carries the theme of fire and rebirth, rising renewed from its own flame.
Fire lights the calendar: the red lanterns 燈籠 of the Lantern Festival, firecrackers 爆竹, and the sun itself 太陽. The chengyu 星星之火可以燎原 (xīng xīng zhī huǒ kě yǐ liáo yuán), a single spark can start a prairie fire, carries Fire's power to spread, and 火樹銀花 paints a night of fireworks in bloom.
Where Fire sits
The five phases are one lens on your Zodi Animal, the creature you get when your Western Sun sign crosses your Chinese zodiac year.
