【析形】象形字。甲骨文字形像一只有高冠、花翎、长尾的凤鸟。金文字形增声符“凡”，尾部饰件与整体脱离。凤属于鸟类，故小篆字形省变象形整体为“鸟”旁，成了从鸟、凡声的形声字。
【释义】《说文》：“神鸟也。”本义是古代传说中的神鸟，雄的称“凤”，雌的称“凰”，也通称“凤”或“凤凰”。具有鸡头、蛇颈、燕颔、龟背、鱼尾、五彩色的特征。凤凰是古代先民的一种鸟图腾崇拜，融合了远古时期各个不同氏族所崇拜自然物的特征。
凤是人们心目中的瑞鸟，天下太平的象征。“凤”也比喻有圣德的人，也可比喻婚姻关系中的男方。凤凰也是中国皇权的象征，常和龙一起使用，与龙对举时，凤也代表阴，尽管凤凰也分雄雌，但一般将其看做阴性，从属于龙，用于指皇后嫔妃。龙凤呈祥是最具中国特色的图腾。
【shape analysis】It is the pictograph character.In Oracle,the character is shaped like a phonenix with tall crest,colorful feathers and a long tail.In Bronze Inscriptions,the character was added凡(fán)as its phoenix sign.Besides,the decorative parts on the tail were detached from the whole.凤 is a kind of bird,so in Small Seal script the character is transformed from a pictograph into a pictophonetic character with the part 鸟 as its ideogram and the part 凡 as its phonetic sign.
【original meaning】A kind of deified bird.The male of this kind of birds were called 凤 while the female ones were called 凰，or were generally called 凤凰 with chicken's head,snake's neck,swallow's chin,turtle's back and fish's tail as well as colorful body.凤凰 symbolizes the bird worship of the ancient Chinese.It is a combination of many worships of different clans in different times.
