- (Chinese mythology) name of a legendary bird traditionally interpreted as a kind of Chinese phoenix
南方有鳥，其名為鵷鶵，子知之乎？夫鵷鶵發於南海而飛於北海，非梧桐不止，非練實不食，非醴泉不飲。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]
南方有鸟，其名为鹓𬸅，子知之乎？夫鹓𬸅发于南海而飞于北海，非梧桐不止，非练实不食，非醴泉不饮。 [Classical Chinese, simp.]- From: Zhuangzi, circa 3rd – 2nd centuries BCE, translated based on James Legge's version
- Nánfāng yǒu niǎo, qí míng wéi yuānchú, zǐ zhī zhī hū? Fú yuānchú fā yú Nánhǎi ér fēi yú Běihǎi, fēi wútóng bùzhǐ, fēi liànshí bùshí, fēi lǐquán bùyǐn.
- There is in the south a bird, called Yuanchu — do you know it? Starting from the South Sea, it flies to the Northern; never resting but on the wutong, never eating but the fruit of the lian tree, and never drinking but from the purest springs.
