What is the national bird of each country2

First, on the national bird of China selected disputes

The Dan Ding Crane in China's traditional culture appeared in a high frequency, it is a poem often appear in the imagery. The Dan Ding Crane is even considered by ancient people as an immortal crane, which is the thing that immortals travel and ride on, and it is difficult for mortals to get close to it.

People in the Han and Tang dynasties loved cranes, especially the Taoist priests who pursued immortality, and they always felt that keeping a crane was the only way to look immortal. It was written in Mengxi Bianan that a monk who lived in the lonely mountain of West Lake took the crane as his son and the plum tree as his wife.

During the Spring and Autumn period, there was also a man who loved cranes. He loved cranes to the extent of obsession, treating them as human beings, he not only gave them official positions, but also rewarded them with magnificent carriages, and the whole palace was full of cranes.

And in order to bear the huge cost of raising cranes, Wei Yi Gong even went so far as to impose a national poll tax, which ultimately led to the people's grievances, and in the end, Wei Yi Gong became the king of the dead.

Originally, the crane is very suitable for our national bird. In the past, there was a German biologist who discovered the cranes in Japan, and he named them Japanese cranes because he found them in Japan, and this name has now become an internationally recognized title, so it is not appropriate to choose the cranes as the national bird.

After the Dan Ding Crane fell out of the race, the red-bellied woodcock became a strong candidate for the national bird. The red-bellied woodcock is widely considered to be the prototype of the mythical beast, the phoenix, and both the red-bellied woodcock and the red-bellied woodcock are highly honored in traditional ancient culture, and they were used as the pattern for the court dresses of the ancient officials, which represents the status of the people they are with.

But some people think that the red-bellied woodcock, strictly speaking, can not fly on the wing as a bird, which is not considered a bird, and finally the red-bellied woodcock was eliminated.

In addition to the red-bellied woodpecker, there is also a bird called the crested ibis is also a strong contender for the national bird. Although the crested ibis is noble and elegant, but now the population is very small, and has been on the verge of extinction, and it is also for this reason that the selection of the national bird has been delayed for more than a decade, and so far there is no final decision.

The original purpose of selecting a national bird is to protect rare and endemic species. However, due to the public's disagreement over the selection of the national bird and the lack of enthusiasm, the selection of the national bird has been gradually forgotten.

The selection of a national bird is a serious matter. For example, when people think of the white-headed sea eagle, they can associate it with the United States, and when they think of the phoenix, they can think of China. But unfortunately, the rules for choosing the national bird are set by the Western world and Westerners, who advocate the pursuit of objective existence as the actual basis, and the phoenix is obviously a creature of fantasy, and does not conform to the rules.

The phoenix, as a creature of fantasy, occupies an important position in our culture, not only as a totem, but also as a symbol of humanistic spirit. In our culture, the phoenix represents a powerful, auspicious, mysterious, "Classic of Mountains and Seas - Nanshan Jing" in the language: Phoenix, the first text is said to be moral, wing text is said to be righteousness, the back text is said to be polite, the honoring text is said to be benevolent, abdominal text is said to be letter. Is also a bird, food and drink natural, since the song and dance, see the world peace. But the phoenix and the national bird of the qualification is obviously contrary to the `.

Second, the national bird of each country

The United States is a country of immigrants, this country is white, black and yellow skin race **** the existence of a country, the national composition is very complex. When the country was founded, in order to strengthen the sense of identity of the country, they were determined to find a totem, and finally, after some consideration of the sharp-eyed, free-flying in the sky of the white-headed sea eagle established as the national bird.

Many countries have adopted the fierce, sharp-eyed raptor as their national bird, in the belief that it symbolizes the strength of a nation and its quest for power. There are many countries that have chosen the raptor as their national bird, such as Iraq and Zambia.

A small country like Mauritius did not choose the raptor as its national bird because it did not fit in with the basic national context. Mauritius, as an island nation in Africa, was in a precarious state at the time of its founding, and so they decided on the dodo, which was on the verge of extinction due to indiscriminate hunting and killing, as the national bird.

The national bird of Romantic France was the Gallic Rooster, and the national bird of Sunset Britain was the Redbreast. The selection of the national bird, but only from the country's basic national conditions, national characteristics, to consider. There are many countries that directly choose their own unique birds as the national bird, for example, Myanmar is the green peacock as the national bird.

Australia has not officially chosen a national bird, but the emu is widely recognized as the national bird, and some say the fly is the national bird.

It was written in an article that Australia used to have a worrying health environment, with flies flying everywhere and obvious filth everywhere, and then Australia made up its mind to invest a lot of money and agreed to a health overhaul.

It is said that when the flies in Australia saw that there was nothing left to eat, they changed their diet, eating plant juices or sucking nectar.

The Australian flies changed their habits, and since then Australians have not been bothered by flies, and even consider them beneficial insects. They even use the phrase "don't hurt a fly" to describe a person's gentle nature, and to show respect they even put flies on the $50 bill.

It is said that their head of state greeted foreign guests with the same action evolved from the action of catching flies.

The world's first national bird

Most countries have a national bird. For example, the United States has the Bald Eagle, France has the Gallic Rooster, Japan has the Green Pheasant, Korea has the Magpie, India has the Blue Peacock, and Finland has the Swan ...... It seems that a country has picked a bird to be the face of the country.

The world's first national bird is the United States of America's white-headed sea eagle, officially recognized by the U.S. Congress in 1782, at the same time the United States has become the world's first country to have a national bird, so other countries have followed suit.

However, the White-headed Sea Eagle has had its share of ups and downs in becoming the national bird of the United States.

At the time, Franklin, the famous scientist who used kites to attract lightning and invented the lightning rod, was firmly opposed to it as a founding father. He thought that the white-headed sea eagle was majestic in appearance, arrogant in temperament, and fearless in character, but it was bad in character, not only snatching food from its siblings, but also driving its own parents, and even opposing humans, snatching human children.

And because of this, starting in the 1950s, Alaska alone killed about 70,000 white-headed sea eagles in 12 years in the early 20th century. That left only 412 pairs left in the US.

So Franklin thought it would be more appropriate to make the turkey the national bird of the United States, because it is healthy and strong, never surrenders, and better represents the American spirit. However, this suggestion was not accepted.

And there you have the world's first national bird.

Choosing a national bird is complicated

China has a national treasure, the panda; a national flower, the peony; a national tree, the ginkgo; a national wine, Maotai; a national ball, ping-pong; and a new national male, the young Chinese male, and so on.

Is it hard to pick the national bird?

In fact, the national bird as another symbol of the country, the selection of the national bird is a major event, certainly need to be recognized by the people, but also need official certification.

First, it must be a bird native to the country.

China's record of birds has been 1,459 species, about 1,200 species are common people can see, how can not choose a bird to represent the country.

Among the 1,459 species of birds, there are 1,183 species of native birds, but these birds are not recognized by all 1.3 billion people, and there are basically only a few birds that ordinary people recognize. Then most birds would be excluded.

Second, there can be no stigma.

The Chinese have thousands of years of very different customs all over the world, people would rather believe it than not.

Excluding some unrecognized birds, common birds, such as owls some places that it is the wisdom of the bird, is a bird of blessing, but some areas that it is a funeral bird, is mourning bird and so on.

The crow is directly considered to be an unlucky bird, "crow's beak" is a kind of curse words. There are many other birds that are considered bad symbols.

For example, the sparrow is a metaphor for being short, the goose is a metaphor for being a fool, and the ostrich is a metaphor for being timid .......

Finally, to have temperament

Choose the national bird, this bird is not only in the eyes of ordinary people to be famous, but also can not collide with the other countries of the national bird bird, it is important to also have the temperament, can be lined up with 1.3 billion Chinese people.

That is to say, the bird must have a good meaning, not too small, but also to look good, you can not do without.

For example: swallows, larks, cuckoos, nightingales, bluebirds, pigeons, cuckoos, seagulls, etc. These birds have a good meaning, but they are not particularly outstanding.

So, there are many mouths to feed, and not many of the more than 1,000 species of birds can compete for the national bird.
