This Star is a bit Salty

After that, Li Han, Huang Jian, and Wang Chang slowly walked behind the young painter.

Unsurprisingly, the picture the young painter was painting was exactly the picture on the Hexi pine tree not far away.

Of course, to be precise, it should be on a stork-breathing pine tree. But almost everyone at the scene seemed to think it was a crane.

Everyone makes mistakes, but it's actually quite normal.

Because storks and cranes are very similar, they are both large and medium-sized wading birds.

The body shape is also similar, all are beak length, neck length, leg length and so on.

The flight posture is also similar, with the head, neck and legs straight, and the huge wings are slowly flapped to fly.

It is normal for two types of such similarities to be mistaken.

Of course, if you distinguish carefully, there are still differences between them.

In a situation like the present, one can know that those on the pine trees are storks, not cranes, without careful identification.

Because cranes cannot perch on trees.

Why?

Because the rear toe of the crane is high, it is not on the same plane as the front three toes, and the degeneration is short, so it cannot form a paired grasp with the front three toes.

In other words, the crane's toes can't hold the trunk firmly, so it can't perch on the tree.

And storks can.

Because the rear toe of the stork is on the same level as the front three toes, and there is no regression, it can form a pair of grasping with the front three toes.

So that you can firmly grasp the trunk, just like other birds.

Therefore, it must be the stork, not the crane, that can perch on the tree.

The young painter's painting skills are still very good, and the painting speed is very fast. The pine trees and "white storks" are quickly presented on the painting paper.

Huang Jian couldn't help nodding secretly, in his opinion, the young man is still very good.

However, there was a little error in the white stork drawn by the young man.

The four toes of the white stork he painted are on the same plane,

Hold on to the trunk. That's right, it's a stork's toe.

But other parts, like the head and neck, are clearly cranes.

Because he painted a small head and a slender neck, which are the characteristics of cranes.

On the other hand, the stork has a larger head and a thicker neck. The overall appearance of the stork is "stronger" than that of the crane, and the crane's body is more "slender".

Therefore, if you look closely, you will find that the big white bird painted by the young man is the toe of the stork and the body of the crane. The stork is not a stork, and the crane is not a crane, which is somewhat nondescript.

Of course, if you don't look carefully, there's nothing wrong with it, it's a beautiful picture of a "crane" pine tree.

After the boy finished painting, he felt someone behind him and looked back. First stunned, then overjoyed.

He quickly stood up and said, "Hello, President Huang! I have seen President Huang."

"Oh?" Huang Jian was a little surprised and said, "You know me?"

The young man said, "President Huang, my name is Yang Xucan, from Yinjiang City."

It turns out that since he is from Yinjiang City and likes to paint, he must know Huang Jian.

Huang Jian smiled slightly and said, "I see, it's a pleasure to see you here."

The young man named Yang Xucan said, "It's my luck to see President Huang here. I wonder if President Huang can comment on the painting I just finished?"

Huang Jian nodded, and he was very happy to meet a young painter from Yinjiang City here.

Then, Huang Jian made some comments on the young man's paintings, which were basically positive.

Finally, he said: "However, if you want to judge seriously, there is actually a mistake in this painting."

"Is there a mistake?" Yang Xucan was surprised, and quickly asked for advice: "What is the mistake? Please also ask President Huang to point it out."

At this time, Zhou Jin, who was broadcasting live, and the rest of the surrounding tourists were also attracted, and everyone gathered around.

Then they all saw Yang Xucan's painting and heard what Huang Jian just said.

What kind of error is there? Everyone can't help but be curious.

Including the audience in the live room.

"This young man's painting is very good! This pine tree and this white crane are all very good. How can there be a mistake?"

"The 'President Huang' in the mouths of young people is obviously professional. See what he said?"

"..."

Huang Jian smiled and said, "I guess when you were drawing these big birds, you didn't observe them carefully, but after a rough look, you started to draw based on the image of the crane in your mind?"

Yang Xucan was shocked, he was really like this. But the key is, why can Huang Jian see it? It's amazing, isn't it?

Not only Yang Xucan felt magical, but also the surrounding tourists and the audience in the live broadcast room.

Yang Xucan said: "President Huang is right. But how did President Huang know?"

Huang Jian said: "The big birds on the pine tree are still there. You can take a closer look at the white crane you drew with the big white birds, and then maybe you will know."

Really? Could it be that there is something wrong with the painting of the white cranes? It's impossible.

Thought it was impossible, but Yang Xucan still began to carefully compare the white crane he painted. What is the difference between it and the "white crane" on the pine tree?

The tourists at the scene and the audience in the live broadcast room are also watching this, and it looks no different!

And after a careful comparison, Yang Xucan was surprised that he really developed a different place.

The white crane on the tree is more "stronger" than the one I drew, with a thicker neck and a larger head.

Just, what's wrong with that? Everyone is fat and thin, and cranes are different, so it should be normal, right?

Thinking like this, Yang Xucan told the difference he found. And then said that this should be no problem, right?

The rest of the tourists around and the audience in the live broadcast room, after hearing what Yang Xucan said were different, took a closer look and found that they were really different.

Then, like Yang Xucan, they didn't think there was anything wrong with that. Yang Xucan just painted a little "thin".

Huang Jian smiled and said: "If you say there is no problem, of course you can. But there is actually a problem. Because those big white birds on the tree are not actually cranes. They are storks. And your painting of 'white cranes' ', which is actually a combination of the crane's body and the stork's toes, is wrong."

What? Not cranes, but storks?

Yang Xucan and the surrounding tourists, as well as the audience in the live broadcast room, were all stunned.

Huang Jian continued to explain, briefly explaining the difference between storks and cranes, and the reasons why cranes cannot perch on trees.

It dawned on everyone that they had always confused cranes with storks.

And cranes can't perch on trees, they only know now, it's really long knowledge.

At this time, a tourist who was also here yesterday and took a photo of the red-crowned crane took out the mobile phone and clicked on the photo of the red-crowned crane. Sure enough, they found that the rear toe of the red-crowned crane was not on the same level as the front three toes, and had degenerated and became shorter.

Such toes are indeed unable to grasp the trunk of the tree.

No wonder they never saw the red-crowned crane climb the tree, it turned out that they couldn't go up at all.

Then, there is indeed a problem with the "white crane" painted by Yang Xucan.

Yang Xucan repeatedly expressed his gratitude and thanked Huang Jian for pointing out the mistakes in his paintings.

At this time, a tourist suddenly said: "Mr. Huang, now we know that red-crowned cranes cannot perch on trees. But there is a famous 'Pine Crane Picture', in which the red-crowned cranes perch on pine trees! How is this? What's the matter?"

Songhe map?

Yes, what is the situation of Songhe Tu?

Yang Xucan and the rest of the tourists, as well as the audience in the live broadcast room, also thought of it at this time. In traditional Chinese paintings, you can often see pictures of red-crowned cranes perched on pine trees.

It definitely painted a red-crowned crane and not a stork, because red-crowned cranes are very recognizable.

Since red-crowned cranes cannot perch on trees, what happened to those Chinese paintings?

Huang Jian said with a smile: "The crane in the 'Pine Crane Picture' is indeed a red-crowned crane. The Chinese painting of the red-crowned crane standing on a pine branch has existed since ancient times. It is a widely circulated pattern among the people, and it is a kind of auspicious pattern.

Because this pattern has the metaphor of "song crane prolonging the year", it is very popular among painters.

But from the actual situation, this method of painting can be said to be wrong, because the red-crowned crane cannot stand on the pine branch, and such a picture cannot be seen in nature.

So, why does the 'Pine Crane Map' appear?

This is most likely because the ancient painters mistook the similar-looking storks or herons that perched on pine trees for cranes.

After artistic processing, the crane was painted as a red-crowned crane.

Because, the red-crowned crane is a crane, which symbolizes longevity. Together with the pine tree painting, it is the Songhe Yannian, which is very auspicious.

Then, because of its auspicious meaning, the "Pine and Crane Picture" gradually spread among the people, and it is still very popular among painters to this day.

Therefore, the 'Pine and Crane Picture' is a wrong way of painting, and although such a picture cannot be seen in nature, it still exists reasonably.

It is already an auspicious symbol and a culture. "
