All about the Heron and Mystical Bird

Heron is a species of Bird that has many kinds ranging from white to blue in color or small to large in shape.

I wanted to write about this back in 2017 but then I was occupied in my job and had no time to write anything... until now when I have ample of free time where I can contribute to my hobbies too, as well I saw someone wearing the ‘Heron Preston’ t-shirt recently, which reminded me to write back that I had to write then, when I saw Guhai wearing the LV collection with heron print in it..

Heron is not just a bird but a symbolic entity, a mythical creature…

Many culture has its own beliefs, let’s begin with

1) Native America- for them it symbolizes Wisdom and good luck, also known for its inquisitiveness, curiosity, and determination. This was the good side of Heron, but as per folk stories they are often referred to as “loner” having no one to spend time with or to be with.(this appears so much true when we see Guhai, even though he is with people surrounded by him, but he in most of his interview has said he is lonely and he appears to be lonely too...)

2)Japanese culture- it represents Purity in general, but also has a folk story associated that shows how a prince when died transformed into a heron and flew away embarking the meaning of FREEDOM from earthly customs. They are associated with fidelity as they stay with ONE PARTNER for LIFE( though there is also a glitch, they often are seen with other partners every next season, but they remain loyal to only one). I havent made up anything, everyone is free to read about this bird and its mythology.

3)Egypt- represent dawn(beginning)[like someone keeps saying it is just the beginning], spring (new life) and regeneration of life.

4)Christian Beliefs: most content Bird and the most patient too…

Also, in Chinese and Japanese Culture when Heron teams up with Crow it symbolizes SOLAR LUNAR power.[ I would add a little more to this symbolism, Crow is also a very knowledgeable bird, which is symbolic to taking away darkness and removing insecurity in general but also in poetry means mourning and never-ending remembrance as per famous poet Poe's poetry the dark edge( if you all read all his LYrics; lyrics only and only written by Yin you will know each and every song has this element), Do I now have to mention why I used darkness ? if Still not understood, I will elaborate a little more. Recall the song Edge of the darkness, and if you have seen the MV, you can see a lot of dark elements used, in fact the start almost appears to be a bird, some portions in middle appears as feathers too... though I felt I saw his poster with raven used as promotion, but when I tried to search now, I could not find, so, I won't say it with confirmation that he definitely used raven for MV promotion, but even if he did not the element of darkness was there also all his song has never-ending remembrance too. Now, read the statement again when crow pairs with Heron they symbolize solar and lunar power. Lunar had always been Yinzi from the song to moonlight to mooncake.)

I felt like everyone must have seen their pics on Instagram showing moon or sunlight many a time as the post, so it was needless here to put the same again. If in case you haven't seen please do see their Instagram post and you will see that, and can also relate to this context.

5)Finally CHINESE belief 😊 (I intentionally kept it to the last), Here it symbolizes Path or rather say, it means Path above…  Literal meaning “may the path be always upward.” It represents Purity and Longevity. It also represents Patience and strength. ( Path could be anything from the one Yuzhou wants(accepting being gay) to the path they choose to avoid, to the path of never crossing each other... Ever since he(because Guhai shows more love for this symbolic bird) stepped into the industry he has been growing and climbing ladder gradually and steadily so the path definitely is upward for him. I don't really have to write about Patience and strength meaning, we all know even if anyone is his new fan would still know what has been happening to him from past few days...

·       A blue heron totem teaches you to embark on the journey of self-reflection; the power of knowing self. It teaches lessons of stillness, self-determination, and taking up responsibility, it also teaches to remain calm in the adversaries. Patience is the key to it…

(Now question yourself after reading everything, Why did I even write such an irrelevant thing describing heron and a little portion of raven or edge of Darkness reference… Just think…)

At times feel, how can someone be so fated to have everything linked from something to be linked with each other... In my previous post, I did write that LV also used a lot of herons as element and Guhai kept flaunting the print for long, in fact from time to time he does even flaunt Heron in present day too.

***Extra candy: Does anyone remember this poster from Big Fish & Begonia( i edited to take the mystical bird portion only), though it is not a heron, still it is the mystical bird. According to Google, this was about a 16 old girls story when she transforms into a dolphin when the boy sacrifices his life to save her, she used the power to save the boy but in return, she also had to pay the huge price.

this movie was adapted from Wandering at Ease in the Zhuangzi for it mythological content, I read the interview so I know where it was adapted from(collection of many essays from 3 BCE), and originally the mythology says, there was the current and tide which could never meet with each other even though loved each other dearly and had to wait for each other enduring all the pain, but never lost hope.

The same print that Guhai flaunted back them but this has heron in it... oh..!! i did not post heron yet, wait let me do that too... 

(credit from Photobucket)

herons range from small to large, they can be blue to normal grey color. I used the print of heron on clothing, and also showed heron in textbooks.

By writing everything all I wanted to show was the destined connecting behind their likings for some particular stuff... Had it been just one time I would have seen the bird print I might have never written about it, but because it kept repeating it over and over again I had to write down. By all the information on the bird we can clearly see that unconsciously they act and behave just as written in mythology... from being a loner to darkness everything meant just as described... could that mean those are one fated soul, bound to be together?? 

Yet again, I would say, I know this is surreal, but I will never lose hope.

Hope they can choose the path of bravery and make history than to succumb under this intense pressure.

*** candy: Guhai drawing a bird, I am not suggesting it to be the heron, but, seeing its long leg, and beak it could be an ostrich ... but because he drew bird we can still use as the unconscious effect of bird in life) sorry I could not upload the video coz it wasn't supporting here so took the pic, in case if someone does not believe it was Guhai, I can show that on Insta too... :)

Last but not the least, Nothing in this life happens without any reason, everything is planned and everything is already written for us, we are just the puppet in this universe and dance at the tune of the movement of the string. With everything you all would have seen Guhai being same just as mentioned, and how do we get to know is through his subconscious likings for Heron... and for Yinz we can see with one of his songs, plus he also used the heron element, which not only connected him with Guhai with an invisible string but also connects with the same being loner and about the upright path for them... I also apologize that I used more to talk about Guhai, was because on an average he was the one who wore it more, Yin just wore it in 2016 and after that, he was never seen wearing similar print.

With this, I would pen down again, and would write about something little controversial next time...let us Meet again with a different story... till then Love YUZHOU...
