"Wild cranes in the clouds" and "Driving cranes westward", why does "crane" mean detachment?

Crane is an auspicious bird, accompanied by immortals. Therefore, people have euphemistic views on death, such as westbound crane, westbound crane and immortal.

The emperor likes to say that they are incarnations or sons of dragons. Although the dynasties are different, this sentence will never change. The real dragon king can use dragons, powerful people and civilians. Forget it. Can't live and can't die.

The idea that opening cranes to the west represents human death originated from Taoism. Before the formation of Taoism, cranes were the mascots of the world. There is a folk saying that a century-old wolf, a thousand-year-old crane, a thousand-year-old turtle and a thousand-year-old crane all have a long life span. Crane is gentle in temperament and elegant in posture, which is more in line with all Taoist thoughts of peace. After the establishment of Taoism, many classics recorded that immortals rode cranes. Later it gradually became a fashion. Where there are immortals, there must be cranes; Where there are cranes, there is peace.

In ancient times, people believed that there were heaven and hell in the world. If a person does many evils, he will do evil when he is alive, and go to eighteen hells after death, and he will never live beyond life. On the contrary, if people are kind to others and do good deeds before they die, they will become immortals. Therefore, "traveling westward with cranes" means that people drive cranes to find the Queen Mother of the West and find a panacea that can become immortals. The elders respected by the ancients, or those who did good deeds all their lives, are often called westbound cranes after death. In fact, this is a kind of respect and blessing for the deceased. Because they are excellent, they can ascend to heaven and become immortals in the eyes of the world.

After the establishment of Taoism, many classics recorded that immortals rode cranes. Later it gradually became a fashion. Where there are immortals, there are cranes. Where there are cranes, there is peace. So, to some extent, cranes are related to immortals. In Taoism, cranes are regarded as immortals, also known as cranes.
