Symbolism and meaning of herons in Chinese art The heron or crane plays an important role in Chinese mythology, being revered as the prince of all feathered creatures. Symbolizing longevity and peace, it is the second most favored bird after the phoenix. Due to its ability to fly high and long distances, its wings were used as an amulet to protect against exhaustion. There are 4 types of cranes in Chinese mythology: white, black, blue and yellow. But, more than the color, the scenery and postures are important. With outstretched wings and a raised leg means longevity. Among peonies it means prosperity and longevity, while among lotus flowers it symbolizes purity and longevity. If it is represented flying towards the sun, it means a desire for social ascension. When perched on a rock and looking up at the sun, she represents an important authority who can see everything. Two herons together is the ultimate symbol of longevity. When a Taoist priest is on his deathbed, he is said to be transforming into a feathered heron. Many Chinese believe that they take your spirit to heaven after death.
