Because the color of pig blood is monotonous, it is easy to think that something valuable must be variegated. There are many kinds of variegated colors. As far as I know-and for the sake of clarity-it can be divided into the following four categories: ideas, black flowers, rings and jade wings. The idea is a white body cavity with only a finger-sized black or purple on its head; The tail follows the spots on the head, black or purple. It's called a black dot and purple idea. Wu has a similar idea, but the black or purple on his head extends all the way to his shoulders and chest. This is called black or purple. This kind of black wing or purple wing is called iron wing black or copper wing black-more expensive than single wing black. There is another kind, only black head or purple head, and the tail is white, called black aconite or purple aconite; The price in Wu Bi is cheaper. As I said just now, the black or purple hair on Wu's head is shoulder-length, front and chest. If black or purple hair is only from the top of the head to the shoulders and the front is still white, it is called a tiger hat, because it is very similar to the hood used twenty years ago; This kind is really beautiful, so it is of high value. In the early years of the Republic of China, blue-black-blue aconite was very popular, with black head and tail, but gray-blue son. This kind is not good-looking, and the head will fall off in front after a while.
Ring, very simple: the ring with all white and one black around the neck is called ink ring; On the contrary, the jade ring with a white circle around its neck is all black. In addition, there is a purple ring, all white, and a purple ring around the neck. Pigeon "Huan" never seems noble. It can be said that white-tailed pigeons are not easy to compete with black-tailed or purple-tailed pigeons, because white-tailed pigeons are not beautiful to fly. 4 l9 U！ I "H6·a·W；; ?
Jade wings have white wings. All-gray and two white wings are gray jade wings; There are also black jade wings and purple jade wings. The so-called white wings, there is a stress: the white spirit on the wings is left seven right eight. This is the right way to fly. The white border should not be too wide or too narrow. This can naturally produce very little, so it is common for pigeon dealers to cheat and forcibly insert one or two or pull out some. There are also varieties in this category: jade with wings and white tail, such as a black pigeon, with wings and white tail, which is called three pieces of jade. Gray and purple are also acceptable. If the head is white, it's called four pieces of jade. Four pieces of jade are more valuable than others.
In addition to these four categories, there are many variegated pigeons. For example, crane sleeves, such as hemp backs, have some value, but they are not very expensive. In Peiping, the above four categories are almost the main ones. New species are always available and can be fashionable for a while, but they are not as important and long-term as these four categories.
As far as these four categories are concerned, purple is more noble than other colors. Purple is not easy to grow into benefits. If it is too deep, it will suffer from pig blood. If it is too shallow, it will turn yellow and be shabby. And it is easy to grow "flowers", especially on the tail. Feather ends are often white, like ringworm, and a tail is useless.
Under purple is black, followed by gray. However, if the gray is only a little bit, such as the gray head and gray ring, it is more valuable.
Among these pigeons, this idea and Wu are both "classical". Their value seems to never change. Although ordinary, it will always be the owner of pigeons. Let's just say that flying forty pigeons, half of them are ideas and black, mixed with other species, will look good. On the other hand, it's not pretty. If these forty are all ideas, or all black, or ideas and black, we can have a top lineup. You can hardly fly out of the forty rings or jade wings. Think about it: the ideas are all white, with black or purple tails, flying like a group of exquisite Bai Ou; Speaking of turning over, the purple tail there matched this light and clean white dress with a dark skirt, which was both light and heavy. If the sun is in the west and there are some dark clouds in the east, it will be beautiful: white wings naturally look extraordinarily white under the dark clouds; A tilted body, black tail or purple tail-preferably purple tail-emits some golden light to the sun! This is the idea, and so is Wu. White-tailed, no matter how decent, flying is not so beautiful, or the value is not high. Iron-winged black or copper-winged black flies very beautifully, like a flower, with white in the middle and black or purple in the front, back, left and right, which makes people feel at ease and comfortable. However, the blackbird with copper wings can hardly fly and can't afford to fly. Cheap ones cost tens of dollars a pair. Playing with pigeons is a thing that makes foreign money fly all over the sky, but flying foreign money is not as practical as holding it in your hand.
However, pigeons are not particular about flying, just like women can run 50 meters without showing their faces. Must be handsome. Let's talk about the flat head or the peak head first (the peak reads like a phoenix; Perhaps it is the phoenix rather than the peak that determines the social status. The so-called crowned or topped head means that there is a pinch of upright hair on the finger; Flat head is a gourd. Natural crowns are more beautiful and more expensive. The peak-or the phoenix-is not allowed to have miscellaneous hairs. Black stools are all black, purple stools are all purple, and white is not enough. It's big and must be wrapped in it like a wallet. Pigeon dealers often remove the hair from the mountain peaks and tidy up things that don't look like purses. I'm afraid of pigeons taking a bath, because the beautiful headdress is glued on.
The head is most afraid of the head of a chicken, and it is not good-looking without a brain. The head must be like an abacus, round and full. This kind of head, plus a good peak, is the standard beauty.
Eyes, you have to say eyelids first. Red eyelids such as eye diseases are certainly not good-looking. So strong pigeons have long white eyelids. Wide white eyelids make eyes very big and full of spirit. Eyes are also very delicate, and bean eyes and prismatic eyes are unacceptable. Unfortunately, I have been away from pigeons for many years, and I can't describe what bean eyes look like; If I have the chance to live in Beiping for a few days, I can still remember them. I only need to go to the pigeon market twice.
Mouth is also important. No matter how decent a pigeon is, it will be finished with a long mouth. Otherwise, some pigeons are rare, but they can't be very expensive; Because there is no short mouth. Pigeons must have short mouths! Thick and solid, small chopping block mouth, just beautiful.
Outside the head, it depends on the feathers. The control of the depth and color of feathers is certain. Where the tiger hat grows, the black or purple hair of the tiger head should grow to the chest, not casually. It is the glory of history to produce a good dove and a beautiful woman. The size of the body varies from pigeon to pigeon. Feathers are monotonous in color, like purple arrows. Naturally, the bigger you are, the more stupid you are, so short and delicate is the most expensive. Like Li and Wu, it doesn't matter if you are big. But with a short mouth and a beautiful face, it naturally doesn't develop very thick, so beautiful pigeons are often small.
A big man with a long mouth can also be useful. The big man has a strong body, hard wings, can fly and wears a pigeon bell on his tail, so he is the main force in the air. Other pigeons look good and can be enjoyed on the ground; These hillbillies didn't see their skills until they flew, so I was still loved. Wings are also useful, and it is their business to hatch young pigeons: they have long mouths and can "spray" well-young pigeons can't eat by themselves, and old pigeons should "spray" mouth to mouth. And the old chest feathers will be rough when sprayed; No one would sacrifice a good pigeon like this. The eggs laid by good pigeons are always hatched by ugly pigeons. Ugly pigeons are worthless, and it doesn't matter if they are old. If you want to be a pigeon, you have to be beautiful, otherwise it will be very bitter.
Some ugly pigeons, as if knowing that they are ugly, have some special skills and can compete with beautiful pigeons. One example is the power to wear a pigeon bell. But strength is not so novel, so some can do somersaults in the air. Pigeons that can somersault when flying with friends can fly and somersault a few times, then fly to join the flock and turn down alone. It's beautiful. If it is white, it is like a mass of snow falling from the blue sky. This kind of pigeon is small, but its appearance is not necessarily beautiful. He has a sign that there is a handful of hair on his neck, which is long backwards. This bunch of inverted hairs always seems to say, "Look, I'm going to fall!" " "This pigeon has another feature: its feet are hairy, like Zhuge Liang's feather fan. It's arrogant when you leave. You can't fall, but sometimes you have hairy feet. Most of these pigeons are all gray, all white or all black. Feathers are not good, but they are capable.
