Study on the Origin of Phoenix Painting of Fengyang

Abstract

This paper takes the origin of Fengyang phoenix painting as the object of study, and analyzes from the event itself, place, genealogy and cultural relic. It proves that phoenix painting originated from the historical “immigration” in which Zhu Yuanzhang, the Emperor of Hongwu during Ming dynasty in China, mobilized a large number of artisans from the south of the Yangtze River of China to build the imperial city of Zhongdu.
