中國功夫有一個招式叫 “金雞獨立”,也是成語,其來有自。

典故出自明·郭勛《英烈傳》第七回。裏面記載:

“也先欺著太祖身材小巧,趁著太祖將身一低,便一跳,將兩腳立在太祖肩膀上,喝采道:‘這個喚做金雞獨立形’。”

http://pedia.cloud.edu.tw/Entry/Detail/?title=金雞獨立

至於金雞,則是 “紅腹錦雞“,英文是 Chinese pheasant 或 Golden pheasant, 是中國特有鳥類,屬於受保護的易危品種。

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_pheasant

其頭上一束金髮最近被臺灣傳媒賦予一個新名字 - Trump 雞,在新年期間,在網上瘋傳 (見鏈接圖片)。

至於它是不是 super 雞,則要拭目以待了。;)

Circling minted legend: «ELIZABETH II • D • G • REG • F • D» and the denomination corresponding to the coin - "100 POUNDS".

According to Feng Shui, this flower symbolizes frugality, and in this case - the wise use of money. In addition, the number "10" refers to the perfection of Chinese culture as a symbol of happiness, wealth and prosperity. An interesting play on words is present in the reverse design: Literally camomile (daisy) wading pishitsya as the "Marsh Daisy". At the same time, "Daisy Marsh" - a breed of chicken meat English band (heavy) direction. Above the graphic image of a bird minted Chinese Lunar Calendar, the symbol denoting "Year of the Rooster".

Lyrics
Dicen que por las noches
Nomas se le iba puro liorar
Dicen que no com ia
Nomas se le iba en puro tomar
Juran que el mismo cielo
Se extremecia al o'ir su llanto
Como sufrio por ella
Pue hasta en su muerta la fue llamando
Ayayayay cantaba
Ayayayay gemía
Ayayayay cantaba
De pasión mortal moría
Que una paloma triste
Muy de mañana le va a cantar
A la casita sola
Con sus puertitas de par en par
Juran que esa paloma
No es otra cosa mas que su alma
Que todavia la espera
A que regrese la desdichada
Cu cu ru cu cu Paloma
Cu cu ru cu cu no llores
Las piedras jamas, Paloma
Que van a saber de amores
Cu cu ru cu cu

Softly the night wind singing
Tells me it's bringing my love to me
With every breath it's sending
Love never ending across the sea
My heart and I are trying
To keep from crying
But we are lonely
Fly little bird go winging
And please lead him home safely to me

Cucurrucucu Paloma
Cucurrucucu Paloma
Bring him back to me forever
Let us always be together

What good is my tomorrow
When filled with sorrow just like today
I need him here to hold me
Here to enfold me, always to stay
So little bird please find him
And then remind him I am so lonely
Fly little bird, go winging
And please lead him home safely to me

Bring him back to me forever
Let us always be together
