There were so many different depictions of Phoenix in Vietnam. They were in 3D sculpture form, embossed in metal plaques, on facades and corners of rooftops, printed on papers and flags.
The Phoenix, in Vietnamese culture, is a symbol for fertility, grace and peace, and it is a yin-yang feminine counterpart to the dragon, thus providing balance and harmony.
The Phoenix is a symbol for all kinds of different things among cultures, old and new, around the world. To my understanding, the phoenix in all cultures represents something benevolent, vital, and extremely important all over the world.
