The crane, considered the messenger of wisdom, is one of the most auspicious birds in China and a popular motif in Chinese religion, mythology and literature. In Huainanzi, a collection of essays that led to debates held at the court of Prince Huainan in the second century BC, it is stated that the life of a crane is up to 1000 years, during which it can fly freely for pleasure. Given such an impressive lifespan, cranes are also symbols of immortality and longevity, especially cranes with a red crown, like those that decorated the walls of the main corridor of the Getty Museum, welcoming visitors.
