Chapter 847: Crested Ibis

The Japanese have serious crested ibis plots.

Because the Latin scientific name of this bird is "Nipponia nippon", which literally translates to "Japan of Japan", the name of the bird after the name of the country is similar to the relationship between porcelain and China and Qin in English, which is enough to see its origin with Japan.

In the 19th century, naming according to the place of discovery was an international practice at that time, when China was still in the stage of seclusion, and as an oriental bird, the crested ibis was first seen by Westerners in Japan, and only then did it have this Latin scientific name.

In Japan's oldest history book, the Nihon Shoki, it is written: "The Emperor of Pacification was buried in the Mausoleum on the Momochi-torida Hill of the Wa Kingdom......

"Burial of Emperor Taruhito ...... in the narrow Momochitori Slope"

"Buried Emperor Xuanhua in the mausoleum ...... on the peach blossom bird slope of the Great Wa Kingdom."

The "Peach Blossom Bird" is another name for the crested ibis in Japan, and the three Japanese emperors are buried in the cemetery named after the crested ibis, and these royal cemeteries are the habitat of the crested ibis.

The feathers of the crested ibis were made into various Japanese weapons and ritual utensils, such as the arrow feathers of the crested ibis, which were the favorite objects of the Japanese aristocracy at the time.

When the emperor of Japan is crowned, the first wing feather of the crested ibis is also used as an ornament.

In addition, one of the most important ceremonies held every 20 years at Ise Jingu, which enshrines Amaterasu, the ancestor of the Japanese emperor, is to tie two crested ibis feathers with a strong feather, a length of more than five inches, and a width of more than one inch and a minute, to the hilt of the "Sugaryu Horizontal Knife", which is a treasure of the palace.

However, this guy is very faceless to the Japanese, and despite Japan's efforts to protect it, the population and distribution of the crested ibis are rapidly deteriorating.

The Japanese were almost desperate to save the crested ibis, and were finally forced to put the only 20 or so crested ibises left in the wild into cages for "emergency rescue".

However, it was not successful, and the wild crested ibises could not adapt to the artificial environment, and died one after another.

The Japanese were in a hurry, and since the sixties, politicians have written to the Chinese Academy of Sciences through personal connections, hoping that China will pay attention to the situation of wild crested ibises and not repeat their mistakes.

Immediately after the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in '72, Japan's Environment Agency formally submitted a request to the Environmental Committee of the State Council of China to search for wild crested ibises in China.

However, the reply from the Chinese Ministry of Forestry and the Chinese Academy of Sciences to the State Council at that time was that there had been no news of crested ibises in China since six or four years.

The Japanese did not give up, and under their repeated supervision, in seven or eight years, entrusted by the State Council, the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was commissioned to form an expert investigation team, which officially opened the prelude to the search for wild crested ibises in China.

China's search has been fruitless for three years.

Just when everyone thought that the wild crested ibis was extinct, in May of August 1, ornithologists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences finally found seven wild crested ibises in Yaojiagou, Shaanzhou Province!

The news got both countries excited. In the same year, an agreement was reached to establish a protection station.

The Japan Environment Agency, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Japan Federation for the Conservation of Birds and other organizations have donated protection equipment and funds ranging from telescopes to incubators to Shaanxi Prefecture through cooperation to help Shaanzhou Province build a crested ibis breeding and rescue center and a crested ibis food breeding facility, which has greatly alleviated the situation of insufficient funds and equipment for the protection of the crested ibis.

After 17 years of hard breeding, the Chinese crested ibis population has been expanded to a certain extent. In '98, the Chinese government presented a pair of crested ibises to Japan, and since then, Japan has provided China with government cooperation funds for the protection of crested ibises every year.

Just like panda diplomacy, the mention of the crested ibis in Japan is usually a diplomatic event.

Fast forward to 2004, when the last crested ibis in captivity in Japan, the 27-year-old "old lady" Akin, finally died, and since then, all crested ibises of Japanese descent have become extinct.

Several crested ibises were donated by China, but in Japan, they have shown great vitality and grown to nearly 100 birds.

In China, the number has grown from seven to more than 2,000, including more than 1,000 in the wild.

Although the two countries have worked together to bring the crested ibis back alive from extinction, the situation is not encouraging.

The offspring bred by the seven crested ibises have genetic defects, and the hatching rate is not high, and only more than 10 chicks can hatch out of every 100 eggs.

……

When the crested ibis finally arrived, Wei Wei and Miao Wa organized a manpower to send the crested ibis to the terraced fields at the foot of the mountain for primary domestication.

Li Junge was not too interested in the crested ibis, mainly because the bird was not good-looking in his eyes.

Medium-sized, with the body of an egret, short legs, and an unpleasant head.

The feathers on the head and neck are crown feathers that stretch back and droop, and the entire face, including the forehead, eye area, eyelids and the base of the lower mouth, are all bare and hairless, revealing bright red skin, just like an old man who cut off his white braids in the early years of the Republic of China and wore a cloak and drank red face, how decadent and decadent it is.

Coupled with a long black curved mouth, that is, this old man still has a strange dry tobacco stick with a thin front and thick back, if it weren't for that white-haired outfit, it can be said that it is completely impossible to see, not even his own white salamander.

But when the ten crested ibises were released from their cages and opened their wings to take off with a chirp, Li Junge knew why the Japanese liked this bird.

As soon as this thing flies, the feathers under the wings and tail are immediately displayed in the eyes of everyone, and it is a very beautiful pink that makes people's eyes shine and feel good.

Li Junge muttered to Liangzi: "There is no void under the fame, I will say how can you like this thing so much." ”

Liangzi looked at the ten crested ibises flying up the treetops, clasped his hands and prayed silently, and then opened his eyes and said to Li Junge: "The pink color on the crested ibis is the national color of our Japan, and it mostly appears on the princess's kimono, I have decided, this year's goal is to bring out the crested ibis-colored lacquer and silk thread, and the Manxi Bamboo Workshop will make a pair of crested ibis-colored silk handles, jade mouths and rod bags to commemorate." ”

Li Junge thought that this set of rods should not be seen by Xiao Ge's troublesome sparrows, otherwise he would definitely cry and shout to try the rod.

smiled: "You just like to make everything more ceremonial, but it is indeed very commemorative, I believe they will live well in Lijiagou." ”

Now there are a lot of loach eels and small fish in the space, and when the lives of these crested ibises are stabilized, Li Junge is ready to use space food to help them cheat and see if he can improve the problem of low hatching rate of crested ibis.

There are still a lot of follow-up things, the conservation of wild animals, not just throwing it into the ground, the GPS positioning ankle ring on the ankle of each crested ibis also needs to be incorporated into the monitoring system of the Lijiagou Conservation Foundation.

This ankle ring aroused Li Junge's great interest, and said to Wei Wei: "How can this thing be so small? are shouting to reduce the burden and reduce the burden, but the baby at home is carrying more and more ......"

Wei Wei couldn't help but roll his eyes: "It's not the same thing at all, okay?" I'll ask you the Foundation, I really haven't seen it before, and I guess it's some kind of black technology." ”

The crested ibis is a resident bird, and it usually does not leave its habitat when it settles down, but it is still thinking about good things: "The breeding season of the crested ibis is from March to May, and if these pairs are diligent, they may be able to lay a wave of eggs." ”

Li Junge couldn't help but hit her: "But the beauty doesn't kill you, you don't know what Jiluo Yu was like in the first year of Lijiagou, it's useless to be in a hurry, this matter still has to be scientific." Gone, I didn't go up the mountain last week, and the eldest and second don't know how to worry about me. ”

Miao Wa also wanted to follow Li Junge, but he hadn't seen the overlord yet, but he was pulled by Wei Wei and not allowed to go.

This habitat also needs to be equipped with infrared cameras and a hidden bird-watching shelter, and there is still work to be done.

That night, Li Junge took advantage of the fact that the infrared camera had not yet been fully activated, and replaced all the fish fry, eel, loach, and snails in several paddy fields not far from the big tree where the crested ibis roost with space food.

……

Li Jiagou's life is becoming more and more colorful, and when Li Junge comes back after going to the mountain to tease the eldest and the second, the new dragon boat has been launched.

The dragon boat can't be seen now, and it hasn't been decorated with paint yet, Uncle Ah Chong is already busy carving the dragon's head, and that thing is the point.

However, it did not affect the use of training, so the daily training was moved from the shore to the ship.

Every afternoon, from time to time, the Wuxi River will remember the fierce drumming and the shouts of the men, and two dragon boats will fly on the Wuxi River.

I heard that the people in Baimi Township and Panao Township were not idle, and the two dragon boats rowed between Panao Township and Baimi Township.

In the first year, all the teams did not know the depths, and each team was full of confidence, and always felt that the championship was none other than themselves.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was late April, and Si Xingzhun sent an invitation letter in a fake manner, solemnly inviting President Li and his wife Ayin to Shudu to participate in the premiere of "Cadre".

Li Junge is really a little afraid of this now, although the big cloth clothes and two cloth pants were secretly eliminated from the wardrobe one by one by Ayin, but the cocoon silk and fine linen, and the female workers' clothes made of fine cotton cloth are also comfortable to wear.

Therefore, the kind of slim and narrow suit and leather shoes is regarded by Li Junge as an anti-human existence.

Ah Yin vetoed Li Junge's attempt to be lazy: "Can you not give the face of Erzhun to you?"

Li Junge felt bored: "Even Brother Guanhai's broken script made him listed as a screenwriter, and the name of this screenwriter suddenly made me feel strange and boring......"

Ah Yin covered his mouth and smiled: "You can save a little damage with this mouth, Brother Guanhai attaches great importance to this head, and he is not allowed to mention this in the future! Besides, people have indeed made achievements! I heard that our country is going to be introduced as a blockbuster!"

Li Junge said: "Forget it, let's go!"

accompanied by Liang Huili, as Si Xingzhun's relative, this premiere is also a must-see.

When they arrived in Jiachuan, Tang Jiankai and Zhu Chaoan Xiaomei also waited at the dock, and the six of them made up a car and drove towards Shudu.

The premiere is still the same old routine, dressing up, walking the red carpet, going on stage, and giving interviews.

The stills of "Cadre" have sparked a heated discussion before, and the reporters' questions are almost focused on this.

A reporter asked: "Xiao Zhun, this film is known as the film with the highest degree of restoration of Wu Chu's life in the Spring and Autumn Period, can such a film meet the aesthetic needs of the current audience?"

Si Xingzhun said with a smile: "Beauty is a very complex thing, not that fine and elegant things can be called beautiful." The water town in the south of the Yangtze River can be described as beautiful, and the Hukou of the Yellow River can also be described as beautiful. Women are gentle and beautiful, and men are heroic, and they can also be called beautiful, and there is beauty in architecture, machinery, urban planning and layout, and even social structure. ”
