Natural Exploring the Institute | The pheasant who leakes his feather

The Chinese Museum of Fine Arts collected a paper ink coloring Chinese painting, named "The Chicken", was created by the famous painter Wang Xuetao in 1965. This painting shows snow scene with a large piece of white, and under the background of far flowers and females lying on the ground, a proud snow, wearing gorgeous feathers, dragging long tails, and crying male The pheasant seemed majestic and very spiritual. Obviously, this female, from appearance to temperament, can be described as a difference.

Gang

As we all know, the feathers of most male birds are more beautiful than females. In addition to the male pheasants in "The Chicken", there are also "Book of Songs · Wind and Xiongyi" (leaked " The "male" of the scattered dragging), they are undoubtedly the "beacon" that the female pheasant wants to chase "in" in "Fengfeng · There is bitter leaves" (the meaning of the male, this refers to the male), this refers to the male), Just like the "I" who read the "gentleman" and the "卬" (meaning me) waiting for the "卬" (meaning me) waiting for the "scholar" of the "wife". The heroes of the heroes are decorated with beautiful eyes on it, often showing the puppet period. Because the body shape is too big, the male can't fly, but the bigger the body, the more the male pheasant makes the female pheasant like it. In addition, there is a short and sharp distance on the Xiongyu, which is an important criterion for female puppets to choose a partner. In recent years, the researchers have also found that the length of the distance is closely related to the number of spouses they own.

The pheasants we are talking about today, also known as wild pheasant or pheasant, and some people call it a pheasant. It is a kind of birds of bird gangs and family. There are 30 subspecies, which are mostly inhabited in low mountain hills, farmland, and ground. , Swarn Grass and Forest Fate Shutter. The pheasant belongs to omnivorous animals, and the foods they eat are different from the seasons and seasons. They are mainly various plants, grains, insects and some small vertebrates.

The pheasant's body shape is comparable to the family chicken, but the tail is much growing. The feathers of male and female birds are significantly different. The male bird feathers are gorgeous, and there are many metal reflexes. On the sides of the head, there is a bouquet of towering and square -shaped ear feather clusters. The male birds generally have 18 tail feathers. The central tail feathers are much longer than the outer tail feathers. "Yin Wenzi" said: "The Chu people use the pheasant as the phoenix." Li Bai also said in the poem: "The Chu people do not know the phoenix, and the price of pheasant is heavy." In the eyes of the ancients, the similarity of the male pheasant and the phoenix It is very high, to the point where it is confusing, which also proves from one side to prove the beauty of the male and feathers. After a lot of research, Chinese and foreign scholars believe that the image of the so -called phoenix is ​​actually formed by beautifying and deizing the pheasant.

Female pheasant

The female body is smaller than that of the male body, and the feather color is not as beautiful as the male birds. The top of the head and the back of the neck is brown -white, with black horizontal spots. Yu Yuan; Back, waist and tail covering feather color gradually faded, brown -red and light brown, and black central patterns and narrow gray -white feathers; The throat is brown -white; the remaining part of the lower body is sandy yellow; the chest and two threes have brown -black patterns.

In 2000, the Chinese sub -subspecies of the pheasant were all included in the "Land Wildlife List of the beneficial or important economy and scientific research value of the country". In ancient times, the number of pheasant populations tended to stabilize, so people "take more chefs." Zhou Li "'庖 庖' 在 在 在 在 在 is one of them, but also the food is expensive, but there is small poison, it is not suitable to eat it often." (Su Song "Picture Sutra Materia Medica" in the Northern Song Dynasty).

Today, with the improvement of national ecological protection policies and the enhancement of people's awareness of ecological protection, the habitat environment and survival safety of wild pheasants have been greatly guaranteed.
