One snowy day, the poor youth peacefully saved a crane whose wing was shot by an arrow.
That night, a beautiful woman knocked at the door: "Please marry me!" " "In this way, the woman became a wife of peace. Originally, the family was poor, but now there is one more person to eat, and it is almost impossible to open the pot.
The wife said, "I'll knit." She told me, "Don't peek while I'm weaving."
My wife knitted for three days and nights and came out with a piece of cloth in her hand. Selling cloth peacefully made a lot of money.
But before winter passed, the money was spent, so my wife had to spend another four days and four nights knitting a cloth. However, she said it was the last time.
But Heping wanted more money, so he begged his wife to continue knitting. The sad wife agreed with tears in her eyes. On the fifth day of weaving, the peace outside the door was finally unbearable and reached out and opened the paper door.
He saw a crane, covered in blood, pulling feathers out of its mouth to knit ... he fainted. When he woke up, he heard a gentle voice: "If you see my ugly appearance, I can't stay on the earth any longer."
It turned out that she was the crane saved by peace in the snow. The crane flew away, flying over the mountains where spring is coming.
The information about the red-crowned crane is urgent.
white crane
Belongs to crane family.
Scientific name: red-crowned crane
English Name: Red-crowned Crane
Distributed in Northeast China, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Taiwan Province Province and other places. There are Russia, Japan and Korea abroad.
Red-crowned cranes (also known as cranes, known as the symbol of longevity) inhabit open plains, swamps, lakes, beaches and beaches near water. In pairs or groups, large groups gather during migration. They are alert in daily activities and sex, and there is a bird as a sentry during activities or rest. Migratory birds. Arranged in a "one" or "V" shape during migration. It feeds on leaves, stems, tubers, bulbs and fruits of fish, shrimp, aquatic insects, mollusks, tadpoles and aquatic plants.
The breeding period is from April to June, courtship is accompanied by singing and dancing, and nests in halogen reeds and grass with a certain depth. Each egg lays 1- 2 eggs, and the incubation period is 30-33 days. Become an early bird, sexually mature at the age of 2, and live to 50-60 years old. The red-crowned crane was first exhibited in Beijing Zoo in 1954, and successfully propagated in 1964.

white crane
Alias crane, belonging to crane family, scientific name is Grus japonensis. Large wading bird. The total length is about 120 cm. Almost all body feathers are pure white. There is some bright red above the head; The forehead and eyes are slightly Kuroha; The throat, cheeks and neck are mostly dark brown. The secondary and tertiary flight feathers are black, and bow after long-term bending. The tail feathers are short and white. The mouth is grayish green and the feet are grayish black. Habitat in swamps with reeds and other weeds. Eat the buds and seeds of aquatic plants, aquatic insects, mollusks and fish.
In the middle and late April, they began to nest and lay eggs in the dry grass on the shoal surrounded by water, and each nest produced 2 eggs. Male and female birds hatch eggs in turn, and the incubation period is 20~33 days. After the young birds learn to fly, in autumn, the red-crowned crane migrates from the northeast breeding ground to the south for winter. China has established a number of nature reserves such as Zhalong, Xianghai and Yancheng in the breeding areas and wintering areas of cranes such as red-crowned cranes. In Yancheng Nature Reserve, Jiangsu Province, there are more than 600 wintering red-crowned cranes at most a year, which is the largest known wintering habitat in the world.
The red-crowned crane's feather pigment is pure, elegant and elegant, and its singing is extraordinary and refined. From the Book of Songs? In heming, there is a wonderful description of "heming is in Jiu Hao, and his voice is heard in the wild". Known as the "crane" in ancient myths and folklore in China, it has become a symbol of elegance and longevity, and is often praised by writers and artists as a theme in poetry and Chinese painting.
Breeding in Nenjiang River, Songhua River and Wusuli River basins; Overwintering in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and along the coast; He is a tourist bird in Hebei and Shandong, but he is occasionally seen in Taiwan Province Province.
It belongs to the national first-class protected animals.
Red-crowned crane, also known as crane, is a precious bird in the world. Today, the red-crowned crane has become a national first-class protected animal. It is a provincial (city) bird in Jilin Province and Panjin City, Liaoning Province. Crane is a famous rare bird in China, belonging to amphibian, crane order and crane family. There are 15 kinds of cranes in the world. There are 9 species in China, accounting for more than half. Among these cranes, the red-crowned crane with beautiful figure, loud singing, light dance steps, white feathers and bright red top is the most precious. The red-crowned crane is more than 1.2 meters long, and its whole body is almost pure white except that the exposed part of its head is bright red, its throat, cheeks and neck are dark brown, its mouth is grayish green and its feet are grayish black.
Red-crowned cranes are mainly produced in Heilongjiang Province, China, and also distributed in eastern Siberia, northern Korea and Japan. Red-crowned cranes have two hometowns in China. Every year from the northeast of China to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River in late June, 65438+ 10, and in late March of the following year, they fly back to their hometown in groups to breed offspring. Red-crowned cranes inhabit swamps of reeds and other weeds and feed on buds and seeds of aquatic plants, aquatic insects, mollusks and fish. The number of red-crowned cranes is scarce, about 1200 in the world and more than 670 in China. At present, in order to protect red-crowned cranes, nature reserves have been established in Zhalong, Heilongjiang, Xianghai, Jilin and Yancheng, Jiangsu.
Red-crowned cranes have high academic value and ornamental value, and are displayed and collected in the animal exhibition hall and specimen warehouse of Zhejiang Natural History Museum. Tingting's red-crowned crane was also used as the design of the 2003 Zhejiang Provincial Museum of Natural History students' visiting card. It looks elegant and unique, with round bean-like eyes, intense and eye-catching. The idiom "stand out from the crowd" means that they have another unique beauty. Crane occupies an important position in China culture. As early as in the Book of Songs, there was a wonderful description of "When Jiu Hao heard his voice, it was heard in the wild". Since the life span of the red-crowned crane can reach 50-60 years, people have painted it with pine trees since ancient times, and called it "Songhe Map" as a symbol of longevity.
3. Stories about cranes
The following information is for your reference: "A True Story"1987 September 15, in the wintering nature reserve of red-crowned cranes in Yancheng Beach, Jiangsu Province, Xu Xiujuan concentrated on finding two big swans in Fudui River ... She died of her love for swans.
She was only 23 when she died. A year ago, she went south from Zhalong Nature Reserve in the north to conduct experiments on artificial incubation, brooding, feeding and domestication of red-crowned cranes and white-naped cranes in winter in Yancheng beach, and achieved success.
Young cranes are not only afraid of cold, but also dirty. During the day, Xu Xiujuan held them in her arms and slept in bed with them at night. Xu Xiujuan warmed the little swan with his heart and held it in his hand.
She is a girl from the north. She likes swimming and water since she was a child. The saltwater river of Tudui River stands in front of her. In order to observe the cranes and birds that come here for the winter, Xu Xiujuan swam from one bank to the other in Tudui River more than once, and then swam back from the other bank. Fudui River hugged her for the last time, and her soul followed the wings of cranes ... On the beach not far from the cranes, there was a simple grave.
In front of the management center building of Yancheng Nature Reserve, there is a statue of Xu Xiujuan, who is in harmony with the crane. 1986, Xu Xiujuan, a worker in Yancheng Rare Birds Nature Reserve, Jiangsu Province, drowned looking for the lost red-crowned crane.
Twenty years later, a film called "Hometown Feelings" directed by the State Environmental Protection Administration will truly record her story, so as to arouse more people's love for environmental protection. On June 5th, Xu Xiujuan's colleagues and many people who still miss her watched the film in Beijing.
The film tells such a story: the Xu family, who lived in Zhalong area of Qiqihar City in Northeast China for generations, maintained the rare birds living in the reed pond with simple and sincere feelings. Xu Xiujuan, a daughter deeply influenced by her father, also came to work here when she grew up.
She insisted on teaching herself the knowledge of rare birds protection and was sent to Forestry University for further study. After finishing her studies, she went to Yancheng Rare Bird Nature Reserve in Jiangsu Province and continued to pursue her dreams. One day, she jumped into the river to look for two red-crowned cranes ... Liu Youbin, director of the General Office of the State Environmental Protection Administration, said that Xu Xiujuan's deeds infected many people and made them join the team of environmental protection public welfare undertakings in China.
Xu Xiujuan was regarded as "the environmental hero of China" after his sacrifice. Yancheng in Jiangsu and Zhalong Nature Reserve in Qiqihar built memorial halls and monuments for her respectively. Many people mentioned that she would still call her "Crane Girl" affectionately, and people would often sing the song "A True Story" based on her deeds.
Zhao Guoguang, director of changchun film studio, said that the film originated from reality and was loyal to it. The film was adapted from Xu Xiujuan's life and shot in Qiqihar, her birthplace.
4. Bird knowledge information (50 words)
I don't know what kind of knowledge you want. These questions are too broad to answer. Birds evolved from dinosaurs. Their bones are light, their feathers can't get oil, so they can bathe in the sand.
This is all basic common sense knowledge. Let's talk about it systematically: first of all: 1, what is a bird? It is characterized in that: higher vertebrates have feathers on their body surfaces, and lay eggs at constant temperature. 2. Classification ① According to the habitat of birds, they can be roughly divided into wetland birds, shrub birds, mountain birds, urban birds, farmland grassland birds and plateau desert birds.
② According to the living habits and morphological characteristics of birds, they can be roughly divided into: swimming birds. Most of them live on water.
Short feet, webbed toes, clumsy walking, good at swimming and diving. Mouth is generally wide and flat, suitable for asking for food in water.
Cormorants, geese, ducks, seagulls and emus are its representative species. wading bird
Generally live in shallow water and swamp areas. Legs and toes are very long and adapt to wading.
Long mouth and long neck. Heron and crane are its representative species.
Land birds. Including birds of the order galliformes and the order pigeon.
Mostly on the ground, mainly pecking at food from the ground. Pheasant, grey-breasted bamboo chicken and turtledove are the main representatives.
Raptor. Birds of prey are fierce.
Eagle. Crawling birds.
Toes are two before and two after, which is suitable for climbing trees. Woodpeckers eat pests in bark.
Rhododendron and Insecticidal Experts. And kingfishers and things like that.
The species of songbirds are the most, accounting for almost half of the existing birds.
Personal small. Sound tube developed, good at singing.
Sparrows, magpies and tits belong to songbirds. ③ According to the habitat types of birds, they are mainly divided into resident birds, migratory birds and lost birds.
Resident bird: it appears in the local area all the year round and has breeding behavior. Floating birds: wandering in a small area with food factors during the non-breeding period.
Migratory birds: Birds that migrate with seasonal changes are divided into summer migratory birds, winter migratory birds, traveling birds and so on. Lost bird: a bird that occasionally appears outside its distribution area due to strong winds or other unexpected reasons.
There is an urgent need for information about cranes.
A genus of birds, with a small head and a long neck, a long and straight mouth, slender feet, white or gray feathers, social or amphibious, and often preys on fish and insects in rivers or coasts, such as white cranes and gray cranes.
In China, Korea and Japan, cranes are often painted with tall and strong Gu Song as a symbol of longevity. In fact, the legendary crane is the red-crowned crane.
Red-crowned crane has elegant temperament and beautiful shape. It is famous for its beak, neck and legs. When it stands upright, it can reach more than one meter high. Its shape is like a sage like style, and it is called a "bird with unique flavor", ranking second only to Phoenix. In addition, cranes occupy a very important position in China culture, which is closely related to fairy tales and people's spiritual character.
Crane is hermaphrodite, walks regularly, is affectionate but not lustful, and has noble virtue. The ancients often compared graceful white cranes to people with high moral character, and called a person who was honest and sometimes praised as a "crane man".
Crane is a kind of immortal bird with long life. According to legend, crane has infinite life span and is regarded as the king of longevity like turtle. Later generations often use "He Shou", "He Ling" and "He Shu" as birth words. Cranes are often ridden by immortals, and longevity stars often appear in the image of driving cranes and clouds.
Crane often paints pine quilts, named "Songhe Changchun" and "Crane Head Songling"; The auspicious significance of painting cranes and turtles together is that turtles and cranes are the same age and prolong life; Crane, deer and phoenix tree are painted together, which means "six in one spring".
It is painted with auspicious patterns of immortals looking up at the longevity star and driving cranes, which is called the "birthday picture". The auspicious pattern of rocks rising and falling in the tide is called "one product is the tide". The auspicious implication of the pattern of two cranes flying high towards the sun is that they hope to climb high. The paintings of cranes, phoenixes, mandarin ducks, herons and yellow pigeons show five social relations between people. Among them, the crane symbolizes the relationship between father and son, because the crane sings for a long time and the little crane sings. Crane has become the symbol of the father of moral cycle.
6. Who has a story about cranes?
There are 15 species of cranes in the world and 8 species in China. Speaking of cranes, in people's minds, a group of slim cranes often hold their heads high, step back, turn their necks, or lead their necks to sing loudly, or spread their wings and dance, just like gentlemen's demeanor, just like dancing a cheerful ballet with the sunset.
The bird we usually call "Xianhe", whose official Chinese name is Red-crowned Crane, is the largest kind of crane. Its body length can reach1.4m, its feathers are mostly white, and only the second and third flight feathers are black. Its head is bright red; Most of the throat, cheeks and neck are dark brown; Red-crowned crane chicks are mostly brown, and only a few brown spots are found on the shoulders. After only one year, the red-crowned crane has grown into the feather color of a bird. As a wading bird, it has three characteristics of wading birds (beak length, neck length and foot length), which is related to its living habits in wetlands and swamps.
Every spring, the red-crowned crane integrates a small group (usually a family) and migrates from the southern wintering land to the Nenjiang Plain in Heilongjiang and the open and inaccessible wetlands in the lower reaches of Heilongjiang and Wusuli River basin for breeding.
Before entering the mating period, the male red-crowned crane must first seize the territory and not allow other individuals of the same sex to enter their own territory. This behavior is called nesting. Then the red-crowned crane will hold a courtship ceremony, and the male red-crowned crane will dance with the female red-crowned crane and sing a song to attract the attention and love of the opposite sex. At this time, the song is particularly loud and distant, and it can often be heard for miles away. Therefore, the ancients had the saying that "the crane rises ten feet, and the sky smells". Red-crowned cranes strictly implement "monogamy". Once you become a spouse, you can last a lifetime. Therefore, in Japan and other countries, the red-crowned crane is regarded as a symbol of single-minded love.
By mid-April every year, the red-crowned cranes are successfully paired, and they begin to build their own love hut-the Bird's Nest. The bird's nest of the red-crowned crane is very simple, which is made of the roots and stems of some aquatic plants such as reeds and Carex as nest materials and piled on the ground. Red-crowned cranes usually lay 2-3 eggs per nest. The eggs are large, each weighing about 250 grams, grayish brown with dark brown irregular spots. Incubating eggs is very hard work. Male and female red-crowned cranes often hatch eggs alternately, but most female red-crowned cranes are responsible at night. After 3 1~33 days and nights, the little red-crowned crane was finally born. I can walk with my parents as soon as I was born, and I can go to the pond with my parents for food after 4~5 days. Red-crowned cranes mainly feed on aquatic animals and plants, such as tadpoles, small fish, aquatic insects and young leaves of plants.
Under the care of the parent bird, the young crane grows rapidly and can practice flying under the guidance of the parent bird in late August. By the end of September, the earliest chicks have grown up, and they began to migrate with their parents and return to the distant south for the winter.
The life span of red-crowned cranes is very long, generally reaching 50 to 60 years old, so it is often called "longevity". In ancient China, there was a saying that "the red-crowned crane can prolong the life". Because the red-crowned crane is a long-lived bird, the picture of the pine crane was taken as a birthday present. In fact, cranes can't climb trees, because although cranes, like most birds, have four toes, the rear toes are obviously higher than the plane where the first three toes are, so their toes can't catch the trunk and can only move on the ground. Song He Map is contrary to science, but its meaning has always been accepted by people.
Red-crowned cranes were once widely distributed in East Asia. Due to the destruction of habitat, the number and distribution area of red-crowned cranes have been greatly reduced. At present, China is only distributed in the northern part of Heilongjiang Province (breeding ground). The world's largest wintering ground for red-crowned cranes is Yancheng Rare Birds Nature Reserve in China and Jiangsu. The threat of breeding ground to red-crowned crane mainly comes from wetland reclamation and human interference. People cut down reeds growing on wetlands to make paper, so that when the red-crowned crane arrived at the breeding ground in spring, it found that it had nowhere to lay eggs and breed. Some people even poisoned the red-crowned crane with poison in the place where the red-crowned crane migrated. The number of red-crowned cranes is decreasing. If effective measures are not taken, in a few years, perhaps our descendants will never see that elegant, light and gentleman red-crowned crane again. Fortunately, the red-crowned crane has been listed as a national key protected animal. As long as everyone knows how to protect birds and their living environment, the red-crowned crane will surely stay on the earth and add luster to our world.
7. Information about bird knowledge
1, Aves: a class of vertebrates. Body feather, constant temperature, oviparous, amniotic membrane outside the embryo. Forelimbs have wings and sometimes degenerate. Multi-battalion flying life. The heart has two atria and two ventricles. Bones are porous and full of gas.
In addition to the lungs, the respiratory organs also have airbags to assist breathing. Birds on the earth are divided into six categories: swimming birds, wading birds, climbing birds, walking birds, raptors and songbirds.
2. There are 1 186 species in China. According to the ecological habits and morphological characteristics of birds, they can be roughly divided into six ecological groups: songbirds, climbing birds, raptors, land birds, wading birds and swimming birds. All kinds of birds have also undergone some special adaptive changes in morphological structure and physiological functions.
3. Songbirds
Songbirds are generally small, agile, lively and dexterous, good at singing and nesting. Such as lark, oriole, big tits, magpies and Ye Ying.
There is a vocal tube under the throat of songbirds, which consists of a vocal cavity and a vocal membrane. The vocal organs (vocal ducts and vocal muscles) are well developed. Songbirds are the largest of the six groups, accounting for about 3/5 of the world's birds.
Myna and myna kept in captivity at home are also songbirds, and they can even imitate people's simple language after training.
4. Climbing birds
Birds are good at climbing rocks, stone walls, earth walls and trees, such as woodpeckers, cuckoos, Dai Sheng and parrots.
Climbing birds have a special beak, foot and tail structure: the beak is as sharp as a chisel and good at pecking; The feet are strong and the toes have changed a lot.
Such as woodpecker's four toes, two toes forward and two toes backward, suitable for climbing trees to fix the body; The tail feather shaft is tough, and the tail feather plays the role of supporting weight.
5. Land birds
Most land birds are active in foraging on the ground. Generally, the difference between male and female is obvious, and the male birds are more gorgeous, such as brown eared pheasant, ring-necked pheasant, golden pheasant with red belly and quail, which are unique to China.
Land birds are strong, hard-beaked and bow-shaped, suitable for pecking; Wings are short and round, so they can't fly far; Strong hind legs, suitable for walking and digging on the ground.
6. Raptor
Raptors have developed visual organs and powerful wings. They can soar or glide in the air and prey on prey in the air, water or underground, such as golden eagles, falcons and owls.
Raptors usually have sharp beaks and claws that bend downward like hooks, which is good for tearing prey; Feathers are dull in color, mainly gray, brown, black and brown, flying silently and not easy to be found by predators.
7, involving poultry
Wading birds are suitable for wading, not good at swimming, but good at flying, with beautiful posture. Such as night heron, red-crowned crane, demoiselle crane, oriental stork, etc. The appearance of wading birds has the characteristics of "three long", that is, the beak (mouth) is long, the neck is long, and the hind limbs (legs and feet) are long, which is suitable for wading and predation.
Because the beak and neck are long and flexible, the long beak can be immersed in water or foraging on the ground, while the long legs can prey and move in deeper waters, and the length of the feet is closely related to the wading depth.
8. Swimming birds
Most birds live on the water, get food in the water, and are good at swimming and diving, but they are not good at walking on land, and fly very fast, such as black swan, mandarin duck, mallard duck and domestic goose.
Swimming birds generally have flat, wide or sharp mouths, which are suitable for filtering food or pecking fish in water; Feathers are thick and dense, and the down is developed, which constitutes an effective warm layer; The fat glands in the tail are developed, which can secrete a lot of oil. You can apply the whole body feathers with your mouth to protect them from being soaked by water.
There's webbed toes. When swimming, straighten your feet backwards and paddle hard, just like paddling, just like Luo described in the poem "Ode to Goose" that "white hair floats with green water and red palm stirs up waves".

Birds are usually egg-laying animals with feathers and high metabolic rate, and their long bones are mostly hollow, so most birds can fly.
The earliest birds appeared about1.500 million years ago. Their bodies are spindle-shaped, their forelimbs are specialized into wings, their bodies are feathered, their body temperature is constant, their muscles and breasts are developed, their bones are healed, they are slender and hollow, and their brains are developed.
You can use the air bag for double breathing, and you can lose weight without bladder. These physical characteristics are very suitable for flying.
There are about 1 185 species of national birds, accounting for more than 30% of the total number of birds in the world, of which migratory birds account for 40%.

Sparrows, magpies and tits belong to songbirds. According to the habitat types of birds, they are mainly divided into resident birds, migratory birds and lost birds.
Resident bird: it appears in the local area all the year round and has breeding behavior. Floating birds: wandering in a small area with food factors during the non-breeding period.
Migratory birds: Birds that migrate with seasonal changes are divided into summer migratory birds, winter migratory birds, traveling birds and so on. Lost bird: a bird that occasionally appears outside its distribution area due to strong winds or other unexpected reasons.
Extended information bird, also called bird. Definition: Egg-laying vertebrates covered with feathers. The main characteristics of birds are: streamlined bodies (spindle or spindle), most of which can fly.
The body surface is covered with feathers, and the forelimbs generally become wings (some kinds of wings degenerate); The pectoral muscles are developed; Short rectum, large appetite and fast digestion, that is, the digestive system is developed, which helps to lose weight; The heart has two atria and two ventricles, and its heartbeat is fast. The body temperature is constant.
In addition to the lungs, the respiratory organs also have multiple airbags to assist breathing, so that birds can have oxygen passing through the lungs when inhaling and exhaling, that is, double breathing. Birds are higher vertebrates that adapt to life on land and in the air.
Long feathers can keep the body warm; There are protruding keel processes on the chest, and there are many gaps in the whole body bones, which are full of qi, so they are light; The forelegs become wings, and the hind legs walk. Most of them can fly and have a wide range of activities. Some of them can't fly because of the degradation of their wings, and their activity areas are relatively small, such as ostriches, penguins and most poultry. Horny beak, toothless, some birds have migration behavior.
Greatly improved the survival rate of chicks. Birds can build nests, hatch eggs, brood and migrate.
There are many kinds and quantities with traces all over the world. Some birds live and breed in their breeding areas all the year round and do not migrate because of seasonal changes, which is called "resident birds"; Some birds migrate from south to north every spring and from north to south in late autumn. This kind of bird is called "migratory bird".
Birds are closely related to humans. Poultry can provide meat and eggs; Some beneficial birds can kill pests and rodents and protect crops and trees, such as swallows and owls. Some birds are available for viewing.
