More information

There is a lot of symbolism in the depiction of birds in China. Cranes on the reverse, which represent the wish for longevity, and the harmony associated with filial conduct. The phoenix. The phoenix represented power sent from the heavens to the Empress. The quail is the symbol of courage as in rural China quail-fights, like cock-fights, were a popular pastime. The quail is also a symbol for peace and harmony between generations living together.
