Cranes were elegant birds that often appeared in literature and art. Here are some poems related to cranes:
1 A poem written by Lin Daiyu to Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber: "Two curved eyebrows that seem to be knitted, but not knitted, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy, but not happy, full of love." The sorrow of the two dimples in the face of the beauty of the whole body. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was panting slightly. When idle and quiet, she is like a beautiful woman, and when she moves, she is like a weak man. Further more wingspan, a thousand words, eyebrows, one word."
2 In Bai Juyi's " Fu De Gu Yuan Cao Farewell " of the Tang Dynasty, it was written: " The grass on the plains withers and thrives every year. The wildfire never ends, and the spring breeze blows, it grows again. The far-off fragrance encroaches on the ancient road, the clear green connecting the deserted city. And send the prince to the lush garden to bid farewell." Among them, the phrase " Wild fire can't burn, spring wind blows, and it grows again " depicted the tenacious vitality of cranes.
3 Yuan Zhen's " The Fourth of the Five Thoughts of Separation " wrote: " It is difficult to find water after passing through the sea, but it is not a cloud except for Wu Mountain. I'm lazy to look back at the flowers. I'm half-bound to cultivate Taoism and half-bound to you." Among them, the "take time" in the "take time flowers lazy review" referred to the crane often staying between the flowers and not lingering.
In Cao Xueqin's " Dream of the Red Chamber " from the Qing Dynasty, it was written that Jia Baoyu saw a white crane in the Grand View Garden and sighed," Crane, oh crane! You are so noble, so elegant, so free."
These poems displayed the beauty, tenacity, aloofness, and freedom of cranes, which made people deeply love and respect cranes.
