Description

Two cranes walking or flying together is the ultimate symbol of longevity. Since cranes fly in the clear blue sky above the dusty earth, they are also considered symbols of cleanliness and purity. When a Taoist priest is on his deathbed, people say that he is turning into a feathered crane.

鹤为长寿仙禽,具有仙风道骨,据说,鹤寿无量,与龟一样被视为长寿之王,后世常以“鹤寿”、“鹤龄”、“鹤算”作为祝寿之词。鹤常为仙人所骑,老寿星也常以驾鹤翔云的形象出现。
鹤也常和松被画在一起,取名为“松鹤长春”、“鹤寿松龄”;鹤与龟画在一起,其吉祥意义是龟鹤齐龄、龟鹤延年;鹤与鹿、梧桐画在一起,表示“六合同春”。
画着众仙拱手仰视寿星驾鹤的吉祥图案,谓为“群仙献寿”图。鹤立潮头岩石的吉祥图案,名叫“一品当朝”。两只鹤向着太阳高飞的图案,其吉祥意义是希望对方高升。鹤、凤、鸳鸯、苍鹭和黄鸽的画,表示人与人之间的五种社会关系。其中,鹤象征着父子关系,因为当鹤长鸣时,小鹤也鸣叫。鹤成了道德轮序的父鸣子和的象征。
