Chapter 592: The Red-crowned Crane Full of Immortal Qi
"What a crane! It's beautiful. ”
"This appearance can be PK with the green peacock!"
"There are many rare birds and beasts in China, and they are all fairy."
"I once saw a red-crowned crane flying in the reserve, and it was really shocking!"
Fang Ye chanted leisurely: "Look down for fear of the sand falling, and you often suspect that the snow will disappear when you bask your wings, this is Bai Juyi's poem praising the red-crowned crane." Flying in the water, indifferent and elegant, a gentleman among birds, it is none other than a red-crowned crane. ”
"The director is really literate! I'll just say pretty / laugh and cry"
"I'm different, I'd say it's beautiful!"
Fang Ye smiled and said eloquently: "As the saying goes, a crane has three lengths, a long neck, long legs, and a long mouth.
Coupled with a body as white as snow feathers, elegant posture, such an image has a fairy wind and bone temperament, it is not difficult to understand why the ancients liked them so much, leaving traces of cranes in so many poems and paintings, and many stories are associated with immortals.
Tao Yuanming's "Postscript to Sou Shen" tells such a story.
said that a person named Ding Lingwei learned the Tao in Lingxu Mountain, learned the Tao for thousands of years, and wanted to go home to see it. It turned into a beautiful crane and flew down the mountain and landed on the Huabiao pillar at the gate of the hometown city.
I looked around and found that there was no one I knew.
At this time, a child was about to shoot it with a slingshot, and the crane flew up and sang, 'There are birds and birds Ding Lingwei, go home for a thousand years and return now.' The city is like the old people, why not learn the immortal mound'. And then it flew away.
Can you see the ancients' yearning for seeking immortals, leisurely detachment, health and longevity?
No matter how long ordinary people live, a hundred years later will be a pile of dry bones in the grave, and learning Taoism and cultivating immortals can transcend the mediocre mundane society and find a leisurely place between heaven and earth.
Red-crowned cranes also have a long lifespan, living to 60-80 years old, much longer than ordinary birds, and similar to humans.
Therefore, this yearning for immortals and longevity is pinned on the immortal and long-lived birds such as red-crowned cranes, and they are called cranes. said that when he ascended to immortality, he flew away by a crane.
In addition to that, the chirping of the red-crowned crane is also very good! When they fly through the sky, the loud chirping of cranes resounds across the land. Sometimes people don't see cranes, but they can hear their chirping.
Sichuan's Heming Mountain, is named because of the sound of cranes flying back and forth, and it is also the place where Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, is said to have practiced to become an immortal in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Therefore, cranes and Taoism have a deep fate. ”
Netizens listened to Fang Ye's narration and admired the beautiful red-crowned cranes, and they had a wonderful feeling, which seemed to resonate with the ancients thousands of years ago, and experienced their feelings when they saw the cranes flying from the sky and singing loudly between the vast mountains.
Fang Ye cleared his throat, and then flicked his tongue: "Purr~~"
The red-crowned crane bent its neck and looked at the water, as if looking down at the mirror and feeling sorry for himself.
Hearing Fang Ye's shout, the long legs suddenly took a step forward, his head raised, his neck extended, and he chirped loudly: "Oh~ohoh~"
"Oh~oh~"
In the distance, the melodious and rhythmic sound of cranes echoed each other!
The call of the red-crowned crane has a metallic texture!
"Wow, the call of the red-crowned crane is so good!"
"It's a loud voice!"
"Haha, the director is so funny!"
Fang Ye smiled: "The red-crowned crane is like this, if one calls, the other cranes will also call."
The loud vocalization has something to do with their special vocal organs. The neck is long, and the pipes are also long, about a meter long, and the ends are rolled into a ring, like a brass instrument, which can cause strong resonance when pronounced. ”
The red-crowned crane lowered its head and pecked in the water!
Then he spread his wings slightly, let the breeze blow through his feathers, and twisted his head to comb it.
The head is twisted, and the bright red on the top of the head seems to be inlaid with a beautiful ruby, and it seems to be coated with thick rouge, which is extremely eye-catching!
Some netizens couldn't help asking: "Principal, what is the relationship between the red on the top of the red-crowned crane's head and the red crane?" Is it toxic? ”
"That's right, every time I watch a palace fight drama, I'm curious about this question!"
Fang Ye explained: "The red on the head of the red-crowned crane is indeed very beautiful, but the red of the crane has nothing to do with the red-crowned crane!
There is a kind of stone called red letterstone, which is a natural mineral of arsenic trioxide, because it contains sulfur and is red, and it is arsenic after processing. The ancients liked to use pronouns, and Heding Red was actually just a hidden term for arsenic poison by the ancients. ”
"The doubts that have plagued me for years are solved!"
"I always thought it was extracted from the top of the head of a red-crowned crane! It's quite Fei He. ”
Fang Ye said: "Let me tell you a cold knowledge, the red on the head of the red-crowned crane is actually not the red of the feathers, but the red of the skin!" In other words, the red-crowned crane is actually a bald scoop! ”
Red-crowned crane: ?????
Is someone saying bad things about me?
The blue carp cooperatively zoomed in on the camera and saw it much more clearly.
The red-crowned crane's neck is black, and the back of its head is white, tangled together, like a yin-yang taiji diagram.
The reddish-brown area on the top of the head, which is obviously shorter than the surroundings, is densely packed with small sarcomas.
"Mom, it's a pimple, I can see that my scalp is numb!"
"Shocked! Principal, you have destroyed the beautiful image of the red-crowned crane in my heart, and there is no way to look at it directly in the future! ”
"Woo woo, I don't care, I don't care, a fairy is a fairy! Baldness is also a fairy! ”
"Hey, what's there, isn't it just a bayberry on the top of your head!"
"Damn, I'm eating bayberry!! Why should I see it at this time! ”
Fang Ye smiled: "Actually, it's good to get used to it, this color scheme is still very beautiful!"
The red-crowned crane's red top is not actually born, and when it is a chick, it looks like an ordinary chick, covered in yellow-brown fluff, and the fluff on the top of the head is also very dense.
When it is two or three months old, it begins to slowly lose hair, which is also the only way for the strong.
You can't find a match without a beautiful red top!
After that, the feathers on the top of the head fall off one by one, and when you are about 3 years old, your head is almost bald, showing a reddish-brown color, and by the age of 4, the feathers on the top of your head are completely gone, and you can fall in love at this time!
The red color on the top of the crane's head is controlled by hormones.
During the estrus period in spring, the red area is larger, and the colors are bright, as well as the mood and the health state of the body, all of which will affect the brightness of the top of the red-crowned crane's head! When sick, the red top will be noticeably dim. When the red-crowned crane dies, the red-crowned crane gradually fades in color. ”
"It's amazing!"
