The Symbol of the Crane
Throughout all of Asia, the crane has been a symbol of happiness and eternal youth.
In Chinese paintings, cranes are often painted with other important symbols such as peaches and pine trees.
In Japanese, Chinese, and Korean tradition, cranes stand for good fortune and longevity because of its fabled life span of a thousand years.
In China, the crane is legendary for being the prince of all feathered creature on earth. Being the
symbol of longevity and peace
, the crane is the most favored bird symbol (next to the phoenix
). This bird was represented on civil officials’ robes, it was used to depict rank throughout the different dynasties. Since the crane has long beak, long legs and long neck, the bird is also called as “three long”. It has one meter high while standing straight. The wings of the crane was
used as an amulet against exhaustion and tiredness
, because people admired it for untiring strength in flight.
