The elegant bird with long legs and slender neck is so highly regarded in Chinese literature, art and folklore that it is hailed as a celestial bird. With a fabled life span of a thousand years, it's the favorite symbol for longevity. Throughout Asia, the crane has been a symbol of happiness, eternal youth and good fortune. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the crane was also used as the rank badge of first-rank civil officials (文一品官).
