From the "Shan Hai Jing", the original image of the black bird is similar to the swallow. Recorded in "General History of China": the ancestors of the merchants were Dongyi people.

The ancestors of Dongyi people were Shaohao. The Shaolin people take the bird as a totem and are a tribe composed of several ethnic groups. Among the five clan of the clan, the phoenix, the black bird, the Bo Zhao (Lao), the blue bird, and the Dan bird are totems, among which the black bird is the totem of the merchants.

Wang Hai is The merchant's "Gaozu", therefore, the clan totem symbol "Xuan Bird" plus its name). The ancient writer Hu Houxuan from the Yin Ruins,

I found the word "hai" of the ancestor Gaozu Wanghai. The shape is from the bird to the bird, and the bird is also the bird shape. This is the confirmation of the merchants taking the bird as a totem. The inscription on the bronze ware of the late Shang Dynasty, "Xuan Women", has the three-character text "Xuan Bird Woman", which is a testimony to the ancestors of the merchants who used the bird as a totem.
