The '''''fenghuang''''' ({{Wiki|Chinese language|Chinese}}: 鳳凰; {{Wiki|Japanese language|Japanese}}: ほうおう; {{Wiki|Korean language|Korean}}: 봉황; {{Wiki|Vietnamese language|Vietnamese}}: ''phượng hoàng'' or ''phụng hoàng'') is a mythological [[bird]] species that features in a number of [[Asia|East Asian]] traditions and folk tales, most prominently in [[China]], [[Japan]], [[Korea]], and [[Vietnam]].<ref name="Wiki">{{WP|Fenghuang}}</ref>

==Mythology==
Tales about the ''fenghuang'' describe them as reigning over all other birds and usually depict them as feminine entities associated with the traditionally masculine {{Wiki|Chinese dragon}}. Although the terms ''feng'' and ''huang'' were once used to refer to males and females, respectively, a gender distinction is no longer made.<ref name="Wiki"/>

In the Western world, the ''fenghuang'' is often equated with the {{Wiki|phoenix}} originating from [[Greek mythology]] and referred to as the "Chinese phoenix", although the mythological similarities between the two birds are only superficial.<ref name="Wiki"/>

==History==
Owing to its cultural significance, many places, works of art, and even people in China have been named after the ''fenghuang''.<ref name="Wiki"/> In 1725, the [[Zhawang Corporation|Zhang Wei Union]], an organization founded by the [[British Brotherhood of Assassins|British Assassin]] [[Edward Kenway]] in [[Macau]], named their flagship—a heavily modified [[junk]]—the ''[[Fenghuang]]'', and equipped it with a fitting figurehead, modeled after the mythological bird.<ref name="FT 31">''[[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Forgotten Temple Episode 31|Episode 31]]</ref>
