The correlation is as follows

As early as 2 100 years ago, red-crowned cranes were clearly painted on lacquerware unearthed from Han tombs in Mancheng, Hebei Province. Lu Qiaoru, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (BC 156-BC 143) wrote Ode to the Crane, and pointed out at the beginning that the red-crowned crane was "the gateway of Bai Niao". Lu Ji, a Wu native of the Three Kingdoms, described it in detail in Poems on Plants, Birds, Animals, Insects and Fish: "As big as a goose, with long feet, green wings, more than three feet high, bald head and red eyes, and a beak more than four inches long and pure white."

There are many sentences describing red-crowned cranes by poets in Tang Dynasty. For example, Xue Neng wrote in "Answering Jia's envoy to send a crane": "The strange posture of Rui Yu is staggering, and it is called" the fairy controls the green ghost ". Bai Juyi said in "Pool River": "Bowing your head is afraid of cinnabar falling, and when you dry your wings, you always doubt that the snow will disappear." Zhang Ben also said, "Woding's fresh hair is tame, but Sha Ting's leisure is difficult. "sentence.

It can be seen that the ancients believed that the beauty of the red-crowned crane lies in the harmony of its whole body, and the mystery of this beauty is undoubtedly because it has a (Zhu) top and cinnabar on the top of the jade cream, which is elegant, romantic and unforgettable. The evaluation of the red-crowned crane by Wang in Fang Qunpu in Ming Dynasty is: "The body is white, so the color is white;" I heard the sky, so my head turned red. "

Also: "Dan has red eyes, red cheeks and green feet." In red-crowned cranes and most other cranes, there is a bright red bare skin above the neck, which is actually a mixture of skin color and blood color.
