Who is Zhu?
Crested ibis refers to crested ibis, also known as ibis, which is a unique bird species in East Asia. Medium-sized, with white feathers, leaf-shaped crest and bright red cheeks, it is very easy to identify.
Zhu Xi was once widely distributed in eastern China, Japanese, Russian, North Korea and other places. However, since the 20th century, due to the deterioration of the environment, the reduction of natural habitats and other factors, the number of crested ibis has decreased sharply, even once only in single digits.
Later, after artificial breeding, the population recovered to 200 in 2008, and the total number of wild population and artificial breeding population exceeded 4000 in 2020. Crested ibis is a key protected wild animal in China, and it is forbidden to hunt and sell it privately.

From the fossils of Zhu Xi, it shows that they lived in Eocene 60 million years ago, and their aesthetic value has been called an indispensable part of literature and poetry since ancient times, which can also promote the development of the local tertiary industry if necessary.
