鸑鷟是古代中國民間傳説中的五鳳之一,身為黑色或紫色,鸑鷟象徵着較為堅貞不屈的品質。在《小學紺珠》中指一種水鳥,似鳧而大赤目。它們總是雌雄雙飛,比鴛鴦更恩愛。當它們中有一隻死去時,另一隻就會悲鳴三個日夜。最後熱血冷了,血液幹了,它也就相從於九泉。鸑鷟是五鳳之一。鳳象者五,五色而赤多者,鳳;黃多者,鵷鶵;紫多者,鸑鷟;青多者,青鸞;白多者,鴻鵠。

Editor: A semicolon between "phoenix" and "river gull" would imply that these are two terms for the same bird, which seems very unlikely. I reckon "river gull" is a reference to what one dictionary describes as 古書上指一種似鴨而大的水鳥。
