Daily Forest Ranger: Start Saving Giant Pandas

Chapter 147 The red-crowned crane that should have been the national bird
(Wow, it's really red-crowned cranes, but why are they here?)
(Yes, red-crowned cranes should not appear in Qinling, right?)
(You ask me, who do I ask? Didn’t the anchor just say that? He doesn’t know why this red-crowned crane appeared here.)
(However, anchor, why do you say that the red-crowned cranes are one male and one female?)

(Can't it be that both are public?)
(In fact, I have also seen a lot of videos about birds. Some birds, when courting, will dance to each other to show themselves.)
(Two birds will dance together if they are attracted to each other.)
(Upstairs, you said that if these two are male, how can they dance together.)
(Don't you usually dance with the same sex when you dance?)
"In fact, during the breeding period, when the male bird is singing with the female bird, its head is turned upwards, its wings vibrate frequently, and a high and long single sound is made in one beat, and the female bird's head is also raised to the sky, but Without flapping its wings, two or three short, high-pitched polyphony are produced in one beat."

"This "duet" is not only a confession of love, but also a warning to intruders, and it can also promote the synchronization of male and female sexual behavior and ensure the success of reproduction."

"Look, everyone, is the current red-crowned crane the same as what I said?"

The audience in the live broadcast room, after hearing Lin Xuan's explanation, looked again and found that it was really the same as what the anchor said.

(It turned out to be true.)
(Let me just say, how can two males dance together.)
(The reason why male and female birds do this is purely for reproduction.)
(Haha, sure enough, reading more books will not deceive people.)
(Such a beautiful scene, the anchor quickly took pictures, and everyone took screenshots too.)
(I can change to a new wallpaper again.)
The audience in the live broadcast room took screenshots one after another.

Lin Xuan controls the drone, hides in a position relatively close to them, and records.

"Actually, do you know that the red-crowned crane was intended to be the national bird of our country in the past?"

(???)

(???)

(National bird? I have to say that if the temperament of the red-crowned crane is designated as the national bird, it is completely acceptable.)
(Yeah, such a beautiful temperament is very noble at first glance. If it is really designated as the national bird, I can accept it.)
"In fact, in our country, Tai Chi, pandas, ink paintings, and red-crowned cranes are all black and white."

(The anchor said so, yes, it's all black and white.)
(Because black and white has the feeling of ink painting, so it has a very national style.)
(I heard from my history teacher before that in ancient times, it was embroidered on the court clothes of first-rank civil servants, and the corresponding military officers were embroidered with unicorns, which is enough to explain the status of red-crowned cranes.)
"Unfortunately, this red-crowned crane has not become the national bird of our country."

Lin Xuan was really sorry about this matter.

"In 03, the country launched the "National Bird" selection activity."

"At that time, a referendum was launched on the Internet, and the red-crowned crane reached the top with the highest voice."

"The red-crowned crane's success is inseparable from its status in traditional Chinese culture."

"In the eyes of the ancients, the red-crowned crane was also called the "fairy crane", which means nobility and longevity. In mythology, the mount of the birthday star is the red-crowned crane."

"As early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties, there were images of red-crowned cranes in unearthed cultural relics. By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the pattern of red-crowned cranes was also a symbol of official uniforms, and it was a pattern that only first-rank officials were qualified to use."

"The red-crowned crane has become a sacred bird second only to the phoenix, and it is different from the phoenix. It is a real bird. It can be seen that the red-crowned crane is indeed what everyone expects."

"Under unanimous agreement, 36 representatives submitted a proposal to the Fifth Session of the Ninth National People's Congress that year, suggesting that the red-crowned crane be identified as my country's "national bird". Later, the State Forestry Administration also reported the red-crowned crane as the only option. , but unfortunately the red-crowned crane has not been identified."

"The reason is a bit speechless, because the internationally recognized English name of the red-crowned crane is "Japanese Crane", which translates to "Sakura National Crane".

"Why is the unique red-crowned crane in our country considered the "Cherry Blossom Crane"? This also starts with the seclusion of the country in the Qing Dynasty."

"During the age of great voyages, due to the seclusion of the Qing Dynasty, there were very few exchanges with the West."

"Comparatively speaking, Sakura Country had more exchanges with the West before and after the Meiji Restoration."

The term "Japanese Crane" was first seen in 1776 in the book "Natural Systems" by the German zoologist Statius Müller. "

"Red-crowned cranes migrate south from the northeast of our country without passing through South China, but use Kyushu and Honshu, the country of cherry blossoms, as their winter destinations. Therefore, Westerners believe that red-crowned cranes are unique birds in the country of cherry blossoms."

"Although some experts and scholars have been "rectifying" the red-crowned crane's name since then, but historical habits have been formed, and it is not so easy to change."

"It is obviously inappropriate for the national bird of a country to be called the name of another country. This is also the main reason why the red-crowned crane was not selected."

"In addition, the golden pheasant is also a popular candidate for the national bird. Many people have never heard of this bird. In fact, it is considered to be the prototype of the "phoenix."

"On the official uniforms of court officials in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the pattern on the clothing of second-rank civil servants is the red-bellied golden pheasant."

"The map of our country is a soaring rooster, and the golden pheasant is also a good symbol. In addition, crested ibis and cuckoo are also popular bird choices."

"Unfortunately, as far as I know, the national bird has not been selected."

The audience in the live broadcast room also felt very regretful after listening to Lin Xuan's narration.

It is obviously an animal in our country, but it is named by an outsider, and it is still the country that the people of the country hate very much.

(If you ask me, those people in the West are all stupid.)
(That's right, it's obviously our country, and they want Sakura Country to agree to name it, it's abominable!)
(Don't talk about the cherry blossom country, isn't it more disgusting to steal the country?)

"These are historical events, and we have no way to change them, but we should believe that our country can do better."

"Although it is a pity that the red-crowned crane has not become the national bird of our country, our country also has our own national treasures."

(Yes, fortunately the giant panda belongs to our country, if it is from other countries, I’m afraid it is)

For a while, everyone didn't dare to think about it.

"Okay, let's talk about the red-crowned crane."

(It has to be said that this red-crowned crane has a slender figure, a handsome posture, an elegant temperament, and a fairy air.)
(The male and the female follow each other, walk in a regular manner, be affectionate but not promiscuous, and be more clean than a gentleman. It is really a fairy.)
(It has to be said that red-crowned cranes really grow in aesthetics!)

(Compared with the names taken abroad, the name "red-crowned crane" is really too elegant and noble!)
(I have seen cranes dancing on trees before, but I never thought that I could see them so closely in the host's live broadcast room today. It can be said that I have no regrets in this life.)
