Which Buddha and Bodhisattva was hoisted by a crane?

The mount of Buddhism without bodhisattva is crane, and the mount of Taoist Antarctic immortal is crane.

Because of the Taoist concept of health preservation, the image of the longevity has changed accordingly, the most prominent of which is his huge forehead. The longevity in the murals of Yongle Palace in Shanxi Province may be the oldest image of the longevity.

Among thousands of immortals in Yongle Palace, we can recognize him at a glance because he has a super brain. The forehead of the birthday girl is also closely related to the image of longevity shaped by ancient health preservation.

For example, the red-crowned crane's head bulges high, and another example is that Shoutao is a special longevity fairy fruit presented by the queen mother at the flat peach party. Legend has it that it blooms in 3000 years, bears fruit in 3000 years, and becomes immortal immediately after eating it. Perhaps it is precisely because of the fusion and superposition of these longevity images that the forehead of the birthday girl is finally created.

Extended data:

The legendary crane, the red-crowned crane, is a large wading bird that lives in swamps or shallow water, and is often called the "God of Wetlands". It has nothing to do with pine trees growing in high mountains and hills. However, because the life span of red-crowned cranes is as long as 50 ~ 60 years, people often paint pine trees as a symbol of longevity.

In the history of China, it is recognized as a first-class literary bird. The Ming and Qing Dynasties endowed the red-crowned crane with the cultural connotation of loyalty, integrity and nobility. Civil servants' supplementary clothing, a kind of embroidered red-crowned crane by civil servants, is listed as an important symbol after the royal dragon and phoenix, so people also call the crane "the bird of one product".

People also regard cranes as symbols of high officials. A picture of Ji Xiangwen standing on the rock at the head of the tide, taking the homonym of "tide" and "dynasty" as a symbol of "one product in power" like a prime minister; The design of crane flying in the clouds symbolizes "one product rises high"; The picture of cranes flying at sunrise symbolizes "the rising of the sun".
