Why are pandas called national treasures?

The reason why the giant panda is known as a national treasure is that the wild number is small and the distribution is very limited, mainly distributed in individual mountains in Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces in China, and there is no subspecies differentiation; The second reason is that the giant panda has a long history of survival and is a relict species, and the ancestor of the giant panda is the first panda that lived more than 8 million years ago, which can be used to study species diversity, functional diversity, species evolution, etc.; The third reason is that the panda's cute appearance, long biological history, scarce numbers, strong body, and indisputable temperament are in line with the image and advocacy of modern China, and they deservedly be called China's national treasure.

Although the giant panda is a carnivorous species, it also likes to eat bamboo and bamboo shoots. According to scientific research, the giant panda has existed on the earth for no less than eight million years, and most of the species in the same era as it have become extinct, only the giant panda still maintains its ancient form and continues to this day. This is where the title of the living fossil of the giant panda comes from, which also makes the giant panda species even more precious.

1. Rare, the global distribution range is very small, the number of pandas is only distributed in China, the first stage of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the second stage of the subduction zone of the middle of the mountain (between the Yangtze River and the Yellow River). Needless to say, a species is precious if it is scarce. In addition, the low reproduction rate also contributes to rarity.

2. Unique, exclusive subfamily, the oldest branch of the bear family is one of the three top hegemonic families, polar bears and brown bears dominate a former suspect, and the panda is the most special member of this hegemonic group, there are two existing branches of the bear family, one is the panda, and the other is the other bear. Living fossils are not covered, in comparison, the status of the South China tiger is much more ordinary, the South China tiger is only a subspecies of the tiger, and the whole tiger is only one of the five brothers of the leopard genus. 3. Important, the large size, speed and strength are top size, which means that it has an irreplaceable position in the ecosystem, and the panda represents the original ecology of the region and is known as the umbrella species.

Being big is so important that every time a new species is discovered that weighs more than humans, it is a sensation in the world. On the contrary, new species of frogs, butterflies, and turtles are now being found in a certain rainforest, and there is not much noise. In addition, the panda's running speed, bite force, tree-climbing ability, etc., all show that the panda is not a thing in the pool, which makes people regret the state and respect it (the honorific titles such as Pixiu and iron-eating beast can be seen).

Jaguars, snow leopards and other overlords are usually considered stupid after pandas, but pandas' tree-climbing ability also belongs to the top of the animal kingdom. We know that young ligers can easily climb trees, but adults have more difficulty and can only climb trees with crooked necks and large forks, because large body weight is a real test of tree climbing ability. Only a handful of animals that weigh significantly more than humans can easily climb trees, and mountain gorillas and ligers fall short of the list when they reach adulthood.

4. Cute, born naïve, distinct, the cutest animal panda's naïve, rolling, big eye circles, black and white colors, far more than other bears, please see the most common plush toy bear, very cute, in fact, and the wild bear's true color gap is very large, and the panda is naturally cute. 5. Exclusive, now all panda individuals belong to China with only two exceptions, the pandas that were given to Mexico in the past, and there are two female offspring alive, but they are too old to have children. This is also important because monopoly creates absolute control, and when combined with the first few advantages, the value doubling effect of monopoly can reach a terrifying level.

The giant panda is considered a national treasure of China for the following reasons:

1. Rare is expensive, not only because of its small number, the giant panda is often said to be a living fossil, hundreds of thousands of years ago was the heyday of the giant panda, which has important scientific value for the study and protection of biodiversity, as well as the earth's environmental changes.

2. Giant pandas are unique to China, scarce, endangered, very cute, it has a very powerful function is to digest bamboo, bamboo is mainly cellulose, most animals can not digest cellulose, only giant pandas can.

According to the "Old Tang Book" record, in 685 AD, the Wa State sent Tang envoys to the Tang Dynasty to request to change the name of the country, Tang Ruizong Li Danchang said: "The Wa State hates its name**, and changes the name of the country to Japan" In order to express the friendship of the Tang Dynasty to Fanbang, Wu Zetian, who was in power at that time, gave two pandas to Japan, and returned to Japan with the Tang envoy.

The giant panda has lived on the earth for at least 8 million years, is known as a "living fossil" and a "national treasure of China", the image ambassador of the World Association of Nature, and the flagship species of the world's biodiversity conservation. As of November 2019, the global population of giant pandas in captivity reached 600.

First of all, the panda is a very unique animal. They have a unique black and white markings and a cute appearance, and are very popular with people. In addition, pandas only live in the southwestern region of China and are one of the animals unique to China.

The meaning of its habits is closely related to traditional Chinese culture, and since ancient times, some places with giant pandas have usually revered the panda as a "mountain god". In the past, when hunters went up to the mountains to hunt, whenever they encountered giant pandas, they thought that the mountain god was issuing a warning, and they had to return immediately. Otherwise, the best outcome is nothing and futility, and the worst outcome is death, which gives the giant panda a mystery.

As a result, the panda is regarded as one of the symbols of China, as well as a symbol of China's unique culture and natural resources.

From the perspective of Confucian culture, the giant panda will not take the initiative to attack other weak animals, and live in harmony with many species, not fighting or grabbing, quite a common demeanor, which is in line with Confucianism's emphasis on "low-key, subtle, and introverted". At the same time, the adult giant panda is strong in its own right, but has no natural predators in the wild, symbolizing that it can bring peace to its territory. At the same time, as an endangered species, pandas also have high scientific research value.

Through the study of pandas, people can learn a lot about animal behavior, ecology and genetics. Therefore, the protection and reproduction of pandas has also become an important scientific research and conservation work.

Finally, the fate of the giant panda is very similar to the process of China's rise, to 1869 after the giant panda was discovered by the West, the giant panda's life in seclusion in the mountains was broken, one by one pandas died under the gun, and China was also reduced to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, it can be said that the giant panda and modern China development shared the same fate. Therefore, China has long been committed to the conservation and breeding of pandas. In China, the panda is regarded as a national treasure and is highly protected.

China has invested a lot of human and financial resources in the conservation, breeding and habitat protection of wild pandas, and many protected areas and research bases have been built and developed. At the same time, the Chinese government has also actively carried out panda diplomacy, giving pandas as gifts to other countries, so as to enhance friendly relations between China and other countries.

First of all, scarcity is expensive. This is not only because of the small number of pandas, but also because pandas are living fossils. The heyday of the giant panda was hundreds of thousands of years ago, which is of great value for the study and protection of biodiversity, as well as the earth's environmental change and purification.

Secondly, pandas have a very powerful function of digesting bamboo. Bamboo is mainly cellulose, and most animals cannot digest the fiber and leak crude vitamins, but the giant panda can.

The reasons why giant pandas are called "national treasures" are: 1. Giant pandas are only unique to China, mainly distributed in Gansu, Shaanxi, Sichuan and other regions of China. 2. The number of giant pandas is very scarce, and it is a national first-class protected animal, with only about 2,000 of them.

3. The oldest giant panda fossils appeared in Yunnan, China as early as 8 million years ago, and they survived the extinction of the vast majority of animals and became "living fossils" to survive until now.

Because of the scarcity of pandas, there are less than 1,600 wild giant pandas in the world, and they have lived on the earth for at least 8 million years, and are known as "living fossils".

Because the giant panda is one of the most precious animals in the world, the number is very rare, and it belongs to the national first-class protected animals, it has not only been selected by the World Wildlife Federation as a monogram, but also serves as an "ambassador of peace".

Because it is precious, rare, and good-looking, it is politically chosen.
