In Chinese Mythology, the Peng and Kun are different forms of the same creature. Translated from the ancient literature, Zuhang
Zi's 'Xiao Yao You'; There lived a kind of giant mysterious
fish in the northern sea. These
fish are called Kun. Nobody knows how big these
fish actually are. They can turn into giant birds. When they are in
bird form, they are known as Peng. Nobody knows how big these birds actually are. When they fly, their wings are
like the colorful clouds in the sky. When there is a storm in the northern sea, the Peng will fly to the southern sea. They travel three thousand (Chinese miles) in one flap of their wings. They can fly for six months without rest.
