Type: article
Abstract: Phoenix tree and phoenix culture are well-known in China.It is of profound practical significance to associate the phoenix tree and phoenix with Empress Wu, the only empress in Chinese history, and thus to study the empress culture.The composite image of phoenix tree and phoenix contains Empress Wu's divinity, emperor and female humanity as a "the incarnation of dragon" and "rebirth of Maitreya Buddha with godship", full of mystery, solemnity, humanity and historical and cultural sense.Phoenix tree and phoenix culture and the empress culture are integrated with each other, so that the phoenix tree blends into people's subjective sentiments and aesthetic ideals of Empress Wu [1], and becomes an aesthetic image to examine the empress culture.
