After that, Li Han, Huang Jian, and Wang Chang slowly walked behind the young painter.

As expected, I saw the picture that the young painter was painting, and it was the picture on the pine tree not far away.

Of course, to be precise, it should be on the stork pine tree. But it seems that almost everyone at the scene thought it was a crane.

Everyone will get it wrong, but it's actually quite normal.

Because storks and cranes are very similar, they are both large and medium-sized wading birds.

The posture is also similar, with long beaks, long necks, long legs, and so on.

The flight attitude is similar, with the head, neck and legs straight, and the huge wings flapped slowly.

It's normal for two species to be so similar that they can be mistaken.

Of course, if you look closely, there are differences between them.

And in a situation like the one now, you don't have to tell if you are storks, not cranes, in the pine trees.

Because, cranes are not able to perch on trees.

Why?

Because the position of the hind toe of the crane is high, it is not on the same plane as the front three toes, and the degeneration is short, so it cannot form a pair with the front three toes.

In other words, cranes cannot grasp the trunk of a tree with their toes, so they cannot perch on trees.

And storks can.

Because the back toe of the stork is on the same level as the front three toes, and there is no degeneration, it can form a pair with the front three toes.

This allows you to hold the trunk firmly, just like any other bird.

Therefore, it must be storks, not cranes, that can perch on trees.

The young painter's painting skills are still very good, and the speed of painting is very fast, and the pine trees and "white storks" are soon presented on the drawing paper.

Huang Jian couldn't help nodding secretly, in his opinion, the young man was still very good.

It's just that there is a little mistake in the white stork drawn by the young man.

He drew a white stork with four toes on the same plane, clinging to the trunk of a tree. There's nothing wrong with that, it's the stork's toes.

But the other parts, such as the head and neck, are clearly painted by cranes.

This is because the head he painted is small in proportion and has a slender neck, which is characteristic of cranes.

The stork's head is larger, the neck is thicker, and the overall look is "stronger" than the crane, and the crane's body is more "slim".

Therefore, if you look closely, you will find that the big white bird drawn by the young man is the toe of the stork and the body of the crane, the stork is not a stork, the crane is not a crane, and it is a bit nondescript.

Of course, if you don't look closely, there is nothing wrong with it at all, it is a beautiful picture of a "crane" resting pine tree.

When the young man finished his drawing, he sensed someone behind him and looked back. was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed.

He hurriedly stood up and said, "Hello President Huang! ”

"Oh?" Huang Jian was a little surprised and said, "You know me?"

The young man said, "President Huang, my name is Yang Xucan, a native of Yinjiang City. ”

I see, since he is from Yinjiang City and likes to paint, he must know Huang Jian.

Huang Jian smiled slightly and said, "I see, it's a pleasure to see you here." ”

The young man named Yang Xucan said, "It's my luck to see President Huang here. I wonder if President Huang can comment on the painting I just finished?"

Huang Jian nodded, he was very happy to meet a young painter from Yinjiang City here.

Then, Huang Jian made some comments on the young man's paintings, and they were basically positive.

Finally, he said: "However, if you are to judge seriously, there is actually a mistake in this painting. ”

"Is there a mistake?" Yang Xucan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "What is the mistake?" ”

At this time, Zhou Jin, who was broadcasting live, and the rest of the tourists around were also attracted to come, and everyone gathered around.

Then they all saw Yang Xucan's paintings, and also heard what Huang Jian just said.

What kind of mistake is there? Everyone can't help but be a little curious.

Including the audience in the live broadcast room.

"This young man's painting is very good! This pine tree and this white crane are very good. How could there be a mistake?"

"The 'President Huang' in the mouth of young people is obviously professional. See what he has to say?"

“......”

Huang Jian smiled and said, "I guess when you were drawing these big birds just now, you didn't observe them carefully, but after looking at them for a while, you started to draw them according to the image of the crane in your mind, right?"

Yang Xucan was shocked, he was really like this. But the key is, why can Huang Jian see it? This is amazing, right?

Not only Yang Xucan felt magical, but also the surrounding tourists and the audience in the live broadcast room.

Yang Xucan said: "What President Huang said is good. But how did President Huang know?"

Huang Jian said: "A few big birds in the pine trees over there are still there. You can take a closer look at the white crane you drew with the big white birds, and then you might know. ”

Really? Could it be that there is something wrong with the drawing of a few white cranes? This can't be.

Thinking that it was impossible, Yang Xucan still began to carefully compare the white cranes he painted, what is the difference between them and the "white cranes" on the pine trees?

The tourists at the scene and the audience in the live broadcast room are also doing this, and they look no different!

And after some careful comparison, Yang Xucan was shocked that he really developed a different place.

The white crane on the tree is a little more "strong" than the one I painted, with a thicker neck and a larger proportioned head.

It's just, what's wrong with this? People are fat and thin, and cranes are different, so it should be normal, right?

Thinking like this, Yang Xucan said the difference he found. And then he said that it should be fine, right?

The rest of the tourists around and the audience in the live broadcast room, after hearing the difference between Yang Xucan and Yang Xucan, took a closer look, it was really a little different.

Then, like Yang Xucan, they didn't think there was anything wrong with that. Yang Xucan just painted "thinner" a little.

Huang Jian smiled: "If you want to say that there is no problem, of course you can do it." But there is a problem. Because, the big white birds in the trees, they are not actually cranes. It's a stork. And the 'white crane' you drew is actually a combination of the crane's body and the stork's toes, which is wrong. ”

What? Not a crane, but a stork?

Yang Xucan and the surrounding tourists, as well as the audience in the live broadcast room, were all stunned.

Huang Jian continued to explain, explaining the difference between storks and cranes, as well as the reasons why cranes cannot perch on trees.

It dawned on everyone that they had been confusing cranes with storks all along.

And cranes can't perch on trees, and they only know now that they really have a long knowledge.

At this time, there are tourists who were here yesterday and took a photo of the red-crowned crane, took out their mobile phones and clicked on the photo of the red-crowned crane, and sure enough, they found that the hind toes of the red-crowned crane were not on the same level as the first three toes, and had degenerated and become short.

It is true that such toes cannot grasp the trunk of a tree.

No wonder they never saw the red-crowned crane on the tree, it turned out that they couldn't go up at all.

Then, the "White Crane" painted by Yang Xucan is indeed problematic.

Yang Xucan repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Huang Jian for pointing out the mistakes in his paintings.

At this time, a tourist suddenly said: "Mr. Huang, now we know that red-crowned cranes cannot perch on trees. But there is a famous 'pine crane picture', and the red-crowned crane in it is perched on a pine tree!

Pine crane diagram?

Yes, what is the situation of the pine crane diagram?

Yang Xucan and the rest of the tourists, as well as the audience in the live broadcast room, also thought of it at this time, and in Chinese paintings, you can often see the picture of red-crowned cranes perched on pine trees.

It definitely depicts a red-crowned crane and not a stork, because red-crowned cranes are very recognizable.

Since red-crowned cranes can't perch on trees, what about those Chinese paintings?

Huang Jian said with a smile: "The crane in the 'Pine Crane Picture' is indeed a red-crowned crane. The Chinese painting of the red-crowned crane standing on the pine branch has existed since ancient times, and it is a pattern that has been widely circulated among the people, and it is an auspicious pattern.

Because this pattern has the metaphor of 'pine crane prolonging life', it is very popular with painters.

However, from a practical point of view, this method of painting can be said to be wrong, because red-crowned cranes cannot stand on pine branches, and such a picture cannot be seen in nature.

So, why did the 'Pine Crane Diagram' appear?

This is probably due to the fact that ancient painters mistook the similar-looking stork or heron perched on the pine tree for a crane.

Then, after artistic processing, the crane was painted as a red-crowned crane.

Because, the red-crowned crane is a crane, which symbolizes longevity. Painted with pine trees, that is, the pine crane prolongs the life, which is very auspicious.

Then, because of its auspicious meaning, the 'pine crane picture' slowly spread among the people, and it is still very popular with painters to this day.

Therefore, although the 'Pine Crane Picture' is a wrong way to draw, and although it is impossible to see such a picture in nature, it is reasonable.

It is already a symbol of good luck, it is already a culture. ”
