Correcto

• 在中国传统文化中，仙鹤历来被视为祥瑞之鸟，常见于宫廷装饰、文人画和祝寿器物，象征吉祥、长寿与高洁。(In traditional Chinese culture, the crane has long been regarded as an auspicious bird, often seen in court decoration, literati paintings, and birthday gifts, symbolizing good fortune, longevity, and nobility.)
• 扎龙自然保护区是丹顶鹤繁殖地之一，每年吸引许多学者和摄影师记录这种被誉为仙鹤的珍稀鸟类的繁殖与迁徙。(Zhalong Nature Reserve is one of the breeding grounds for red-crowned cranes, and each year it attracts many researchers and photographers to document the breeding and migration of this rare bird, known as the immortal crane.)

Incorrecto

• 仙鹤 interchangeably with 白鹤 (white crane) or other crane species — 仙鹤 specifically refers to the red-crowned crane and carries strong cultural and symbolic connotations that distinguish it from other cranes
