Modern Wonder: The Love Affair of Queen Philip II After the beautiful big bird flew away, the fire gradually extinguished. There are many cacti, cactus whips, cactus sticks, cactus columns and towering palm trees growing in this desert. Indians like the "relics" left by the long-tailed bird very much. They are symbols of warding off evil and resisting violence. The cactus pillars represent the simple, sincere, hard-working and resolute personality of the local people. The posture of the palm trees not only symbolizes the people looking at and missing the magical bird, but also represents eternal victory. In order to commemorate the beautiful and magical long-tailed bird, the Indians like to wear several feathers on their heads. Strangely enough, in this desert land, despite the scorching sun and very little rain, the relic of the beautiful bird remains evergreen all year round. For thousands of years, it has remained strong from generation to generation, never begging for anything from people, resisting thirst and high fever, and smiling at the scorching sun. Five hundred years ago, Columbus discovered the "New Great Falcon", and Spain was the first to occupy this land. In 1516, the King of Spain passed the throne to his grandson Charles I, who in turn passed the throne to his son Philip II. Philip II annexed Portugal in 1580, and Spain became the largest and most powerful country in Europe at that time. Queen Philip II was very fond of mythological stories. When she heard the story of the Indian mythical bird, she decided to come to the "New World" to find the landing place of the desert bird. At that time, Phoenix City, the Pearl of the Desert, had not yet been born. There was only a desolate desert dry soil with many "relics" of long-tailed sacred birds-cactus and cactus pillars. The queen visited many local Indians and was fascinated by the legend of the sacred bird. She tried her best to give this sacred land a name. She thought of the Chinese phoenix and the Greek phoenix, and finally named it phoenix. She said: phoenix is ​​the phoenix in Chinese mythology. The Chinese believe that "the phoenix never falls in a land without treasures." Let this place prosper and let people live happily! We descendants of the Yan and Huang are all descendants of the dragon. The descendants of the dragon coming to the treasure land of the dragon and the phoenix are in line with the ancient saying "the dragon and the dragon present good fortune". May we Chinese prosper here from generation to generation.
