Mr. Gu Erjie graduated from The East China Institute of Textile Technology in Shanghai in 1951, loved pigeons very much, and when working in Shanghai, he deeply regretted raising pigeons unconditionally, so he was transferred back to Nantong in 1964.
Mr. Gu likes Xi Weng pigeon the most, he has made a lot of friends in Shanghai who raise Xi Weng pigeons, and has contacts with Chen Feihong, Yang Dengyuan, He Shousong, Wang Wenlin, Sun Tongquan, Li Dinghua, Wang Baoan, Han Haisheng, Zhuang Run'an, etc. He has bought or borrowed more than 20 breeding lines directly from Li Zuguang Xi Weng and purified breeding in Nantong.
He pays special attention to the bloodline of pigeons, and all the introduced Sion pigeons are determined after investigation and verification, confirming that their provenance is authentic Sion and have a pedigree record.
His Sion pigeons have a detailed record of the breeding origin and breeding history, and he will not stop until he knows the aspects that the owner himself is not clear about, and he will go to the original owner of the pigeon to inquire about it until it is clear.
The genealogy of Yang Dengyuan, He Shousong, Wang Baoan and others compiled by his hand has a detailed record, which can be said to be the most comprehensive archive of the early Chinese Xi weng bloodline, which provides an important basis for studying the formation and development of China's Xi Weng.
Mr. Gu has been stocking pigeons in Nantong for several years, but he can't open his heart to raise pigeons because his family has opinions on pigeon breeding.
Before the 1980s, he kept a group of Sion pigeons that could not fly out of the shed in a closed manner. He became a casual breed of pure descendants with generations of inbreedings, purely for lovers of famous pigeon breeds.
Sometimes friends go to Nantong to exchange pigeon classics, he gives a few pigeons for friends to try is a common thing, he also gets some fun from it, Mr. Gu does not like to do things publicity, someone uses the pigeon breeding he gave to release the results, he hides its source and exaggerates himself, forgets what he wants, but he is not angry and does not compete with people for fame.
There's a story here that's illustrative. Gu Erjie used the "Peace 370" peach blossom male with the daughter of "370" "68-2496" hook-billed gray female to breed "Shanghai 4247" garbage female.
He felt that this hen pigeon had a very good spirit and good physique, and was a rare excellent offspring in the blood inbreeding of the Xi Weng lineage, but it could not be put in the shed, it was a pity, it was given to Yang Dengyuan to let him try out the offspring, Yang Dengyuan felt that the pigeon's coat color was irregular after seeing it, it looked uncomfortable, he called him a "garbage hen", was not taken seriously, and gave it to the door Zhang Yan.
Later, Zhu Yongqiu of Qingpu Luodian exchanged a British white pigeon (called The Great British White Pigeon in Shanghai, known for its large nose) from Zhang Yan's hand, and since then created a glorious history of "garbage hen", the garbage hen has flown back from Shanghai twice, the first time escaped from Zhang Yan's shed, Mr. Gu rushed to Shanghai and returned to him.
The second time was slipped out of the Luodian Zhuyong ball shed, when the "garbage hen" was unilaterally pinned off 5 main wings, and it took him two months to fly over the Yangtze River for two months to fly over the 104-kilometer distance of the Yangtze River to return to the master's side and be able to fly over the Yangtze River Graben under the unfavorable condition of the main feather, proving that the "garbage hen" is a good pigeon with full spirit and special ability to endure hardships and hardships.
After Lao Gu used him to breed 4 young pigeons, he supported the Zhenjiang fancier Yin Jun, Who knew the bottom line of the "garbage hen", especially cherished this pigeon, locked him in the bedroom and raised him, but died tragically in the mouth of the cat, and finally fell in love too deeply and harmed Qingqing's life, which was a pity.
The descendants of the "garbage hen" in Shanghai and Zhenjiang have extraordinary performances, 5 pigeons returned to Lanzhou, in 1985, Zhu Yongqiu used his offspring bred with Li Meiling to participate in the 1000 km competition and won the Shanghai municipal championship, and since then the garbage hen has been renamed by the fancier to become the "Luodian Old Hen".
Subsequently, some fanciers in Jiading County repeatedly introduced the descendants of the "luodian old hen" from Luodian. His 4th to 6th generations of descendants are also very contentious, and almost whoever has this Sion bloodline will fly out of good grades.
When I asked about the ancestral ancestral lineage of the 2,000 km winners, many people said that there was a "Luodian old hen" of the Xi weng line, but the "Luodian old hen" was the historical fact bred by Mr. Gu Erjie, how many people in Shanghai knew?
The "garbage hen" carries a foot ring with the word "China", and ma'anshan pigeon fancier is widely praised by the pigeon circles in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Anhui under his title of "Chinese hen".
"Luodian old female" mouth tip ke head (concave head face) high brain door, convex back of the head feathers thin and tight, smooth as satin, waist strong, tail closure is a finger wide, muscle elasticity, the West Wing system is particularly slight and obvious advantages, only because the feathers are not beautiful, and not favored by several experts, this is a serious mistake, but it has a good opportunity, and finally The treasure is shining.
Turning over the pedigree of the "garbage hen", it can be seen that its parents are father-daughter matching, the ancestors of the 3rd and 5th generations are the French Sion backbringing, gathering 4 French Sion 59052, 59611, 59049, 59680 and 1 3212 Sion pigeons of the Sion orthodox bloodline, is the result of many generations of Sion close relatives and close relatives. This hen was associated with the foreign plum breed and achieved a record of the shanghai millennium race that people could not estimate.
He Shousong "Sparrow Lineage" pedigree book reference
In 1999, I went to Mr. Gu's house in Nantong, and he knew that I was an old friend of Yang Dengyuan, and I especially liked the Chinese Xi Weng pigeons, so I resolutely gave me the 12 Xi Weng close relatives he had raised for many years for me to experiment with the purification and rejuvenation of The Ewong in China.
I bred his Sion pigeons with Yang Dengyuan Sion again, and in just 3 years, the descendants of this group of Sion pigeons have won the 1000 km first, 700 km and 8th and 18th grand prizes in Chengdu and Leshan.
Gu Erjie Xi Weng originated from Li Zuguang, directly from Yang Dengyuan Xi Weng pigeon, he is closely related to Yang Dengyuan, in the 1985 Shanghai 2000 km Huangyuan competition, Yang Dengyuan put 3 to 3, there is also a credit to Gu Gu, Huangyuan homecoming pigeons have two fathers are Gu Erjie back to Yang Dengyuan pigeon breeding.
Mr. Gu has fallen in love with "foreign pigeons" in recent years, and he has crossed his pigeons with Van Brianna, Dierba and Jensen and bred pigeons to friends and relatives, and they have won many good results in the races of Nantong and Jiangsu Province in 1000 km and 1500 km.
