What is the national bird of each country? 1. China National Bird Selection Debate.

Red-crowned cranes appear frequently in China traditional culture, which is a frequent image in poetry. The red-crowned crane was considered by the ancients as a crane, which was something that immortals traveled and rode, and it was difficult for mortals to get close to it.

People in the Han and Tang Dynasties loved red-crowned cranes, especially Taoist priests who pursued immortality. They always think that raising a red-crowned crane is full of fairy tales. In Meng Qian Bi Tan, there is a monk who lives in seclusion in the lonely mountain of West Lake, taking cranes as his son and plum blossoms as his wife.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was another famous person who loved red-crowned cranes very much. He was Wei Yigong. He likes cranes so much that he treats them like adults. He not only gave them official positions, but also rewarded them with gorgeous drivers. The whole palace is full of cranes.

In order to bear the huge cost of raising cranes, Wei Yigong even levied a poll tax, which eventually caused public outrage. Finally, Wei Yigong became the king of national subjugation.

The red-crowned crane was originally suitable as our national bird. Once upon a time, a German biologist discovered the red-crowned crane in Japan. Because of his discovery in Japan, he named it Japanese crane, which has become an internationally recognized title, so it is not appropriate to choose red-crowned crane as the national bird.

After the red-crowned crane lost the election, the golden pheasant has become a strong candidate for the national bird. The golden rooster is generally regarded as the prototype of the phoenix. In ancient traditional culture, golden pheasant and red-crowned crane are very noble. They once appeared as patterns of ancient officials' robes, representing their status among people.

But some people think that golden pheasant can't fly like a bird in a strict sense, not a bird. Finally, the golden pheasant was eliminated.

In addition to the golden pheasant, there is also a bird called Zhu Xi, which is also a strong competitor of the national bird. Although crested ibis is noble and elegant, its population is very small and endangered. It is also for this reason that the selection of national birds has been delayed for more than ten years, and there is no conclusion so far.

The original intention of choosing the national bird is to protect rare and endemic species. However, due to the great differences and low enthusiasm of the public on the selection of the national bird, the things selected by the national bird are gradually forgotten.

Choosing a national bird is a serious matter. For example, when people think of vultures, they can think of the United States, while most people think of Phoenix, and they can also think of China. It's a pity that the rules for choosing national birds were laid down by the western world and the western people, who advocated the pursuit of objective existence as the practical basis, while the phoenix is obviously a fantasy creature and does not conform to the regulations.

Phoenix, as an imaginary creature, occupies an important position in China culture. It is not only a totem, but also a symbol of humanistic spirit. In China culture, the phoenix represents strength, auspiciousness and mystery. There are words in "Shan Hai Jing Nan Shan Jing": Phoenix, the first literary talent, the wing literary talent, the back literary talent, the pseudo literary talent, and the belly literary talent. It is a bird, eating, singing and jumping naturally. Seeing it will make the world peaceful. But the definitions of phoenix and national bird are obviously opposite.

Second, the national birds of various countries

America is a country of immigrants. This country is a country of white, black and yellow people, and its ethnic composition is very complicated. At the beginning, in order to strengthen their national identity, they were determined to find a totem, and finally after some consideration, the vulture with sharp eyes and flying freely in the sky was established as the national bird.

Many countries regard fierce and sharp-eyed birds of prey as national birds. This consideration is that the raptor can symbolize the strength of a country, but also symbolizes the country's pursuit of strength. Many countries choose raptor as their national bird, such as Iraq and Zambia.

A small country like Mauritius did not choose raptor as its national bird because it did not conform to the basic national conditions. Mauritius, as an island country in Africa, was in a precarious state when it was founded, so they actually decided that the dodo was a bird. At that time, the dodo was on the verge of extinction because of overfishing.

Romantic France is a gallic rooster. Once the sun never sets, the national bird of Britain is a red-breasted bird. Choosing the national bird is nothing more than considering the basic national conditions and national characteristics of the country. Many countries directly choose their own unique birds as national birds. For example, Myanmar takes the green peacock as its national bird.

Australian officials did not choose the national bird, but people generally agree that Emu is the national bird, but some people say that Australia chose flies as the national bird.

An article wrote that the sanitary environment in Australia is worrying, with flies flying around and obvious filth everywhere. Later, Australia made up its mind to invest a lot of money and agreed to carry out health rectification.

It is said that when Australian flies saw that there was nothing corrupt to eat, they changed their diet. They switch to eating plant juice or sucking nectar.

Australian flies changed their habits. Since then, Australians no longer worry about the troubles caused by flies, and even think that they are beneficial insects. In order to show a person's gentle character, they even use "don't hurt a fly" to describe it. To show respect, they even printed flies on 50 yuan's paper money.

It is said that their head of state greeted foreign guests by driving away flies. Of course, this is all a joke. It is ok to have fun, but it is not good to pursue it strictly. After all, flies are not even birds.

What is the national bird of each country? The first national bird in the world.

Most countries have national birds. For example, there are vultures in the United States, gallic cocks in France, green pheasants in Japan, magpies in South Korea, blue peacocks in India and swans in Finland ... It seems that every country has chosen a bird as its national image endorsement.

The first national bird in the world was the American vulture. 1782 was officially recognized by the US Congress. At the same time, the United States became the first country in the world to have a national bird, so other countries followed suit.

However, the bald eagle can become the national bird of the United States, and it has also experienced twists and turns.

Franklin, a famous scientist who used kites to attract lightning and invented lightning rods at that time, was firmly opposed as a founding father. He believes that the vulture is magnificent in appearance, unruly in temperament and fearless in character, but its character is very bad, not only robbing brothers and sisters of food, but also robbing parents, even taking human children as enemies.

Because of this, Alaska alone killed about 70,000 vultures between 1950 in the early 20th century. As a result, there are only 4 12 pairs left in the United States.

So Franklin thought it was more appropriate to take turkey as the national bird of the United States, because turkey was healthy and strong, and never surrendered, which better represented the American spirit. However, this proposal was not adopted.

This gave birth to the world's first national bird.

Choosing a national bird is complicated.

China has a national treasure panda, a national flower peony, a national tree ginkgo, a national wine Maotai, a national table tennis, a new country man, young people from China, and so on.

Is it difficult to choose a national bird?

In fact, the national bird is another symbol of this country. Choosing a national bird is a major event, which definitely requires public recognition and official certification.

First, it must be a native bird.

There are 1459 recorded species of birds in China, and about 1200 species can be seen by ordinary people. Why not choose a bird as the representative of the country?

Among the 1459 species of birds, there are 1 183 native birds, but not all these birds are known by1300 million people, and only a few birds are known by ordinary people. Then most birds will be excluded.

Secondly, there must be no stains.

China people have different customs for thousands of years. People would rather believe what they have than what they don't have.

Exclude some unknown birds. Among the common birds, such as owls, some places think they are wise birds and blessed birds, but some areas think they are sad birds.

Crows are directly regarded as unlucky birds, and "crow's mouth" is a kind of swearing words. Many birds are considered as bad symbols.

For example, sparrows are short, geese are stupid and ostriches are timid.

Finally, have temperament.

Choose the national bird, which should be famous in the eyes of ordinary people and not conflict with the national birds of other countries. It is important to have temperament, which can support 654.38+0.3 billion China people.

In other words, this bird must have a good meaning, not too small, but also beautiful and indispensable.

For example, swallows, larks, cuckoos, nightingales, bluebirds, pigeons, cuckoos, seagulls and other birds all have good meanings, but they are not particularly prominent.

Therefore, it is difficult for people to adjust their views. Among more than 1000 species of birds, few can compete for the national bird.
