赵氏崇拜的图腾玄乌是人们常说的凤凰,而凤凰这一神鸟来源于形体较大的孔雀与鸿鹄。《赵世家》记载赵氏多神的资料一部分可能来源于赵人所作谱牒,一部分则可能来源于太史公在赵地所搜集到的流传于赵人中的神话传说。
The totem the Zhao people in the pre-Qin days warshiped was the black bird,which is none other than the phoenix. And the phoenix stemmed from the large peacock and swan. Part of materials about multigod warshiped by Zhao people in Zhao Aristocratic Family might come from the family tree made by Zhao people, and another part might come from myth tales spreading in Zhao people.
