The beginning of this article is a bit out of the routine, and it seems not exquisite enough, but as long as Tibetan friends can understand it from beginning to end, then I have achieved my goal, first give you a list of more familiar masters:
Yoshiyama, Japan 1933
Josesken von Lyle, Belgium 1957
Netherlands Jan Aten 1962
Li Meiling, China, 1972
With the exception of Hughesken von Lyleer, who was disposed of in 1957 by two men (of course, von Lerr later started a new breed with some pigeons), the other three masters left in 1933, 62 and 72, respectively.
We have an average of 60 years of these pigeon breeds, and if the average breeding life of a breeding pigeon and the fact that each generation of pigeon owners can keep them for ten years, those masters have passed on at least six generations of breeders and pigeon owners, and I can't believe how these pigeon owners can remain competitive without blood until they reach us.
Ironically, the first three that preceded Li Meiling can still be found in the current pedigree book, but the more modern Li Meiling pigeons are relatively rare, so the current pigeon fanciers always feel that the older generation of pigeon breeding concepts are outdated and the technology is not good.
However, in the highlight moment when Dr. Li fought with foreigners in the "Western Pigeon Club" in Shanghai, he also used the "759" hen to win the championship in 1935 in 1935, in the Tianjin-Shanghai 950 kilometers selected by foreigners, and won the championship in 12 hours, and also excessively wrapped up the top five, and the sixth-place Jackson was still the third day to return home, and finally grew the ambition of Chinese!
It is undeniable that the cultural revolution of the decade 1966-1976 in modern times was a devastation to pigeon racing in China, and many excellent pigeon breeds were lost in that era or because of lack of nutrition or suspension of racing, which led to poor quality.
So in the pigeon racing in the 80s, we were starting again, and in a short period of ten years, the older generation could only use the ocean skyfall from the ocean steamer to improve the old pigeon breed because of trade and traffic restrictions.

It is such a condition that we can also impact ultra-long range. But that didn't mean that the pigeons weren't fast in the short and medium distances, but that my value orientation at that time was not the 300-500 km race.
Some of the top fast birds of 300-500 km could not adapt to the ultra-long distance race, so they were eliminated as inferior products, and gradually formed ultra-long-range pigeons.
Later, it caught up with a wave of slogans of "rushing out of Asia and flying to the world", which now looks a bit like "foreigners don't play mahjong, afraid that others won't take us to play, so let's play poker instead." In my observation, this is the case, blindly pandering to others has become a self-destructive martial art.
Now some fanciers think that pigeons will continue to evolve without restriction, but in fact, every species has a limit to the evolution, and there is almost no perfect animal in nature.
If the pigeon is compared to a tool for the purpose of racing, then a tool will naturally have the phenomenon of length and length of the ruler, "understand" and "will use", there is no absolute difference between high and low.
I am a pragmatist myself, and I have been competing in the front line for more than ten years, so it will seem rude to dry out the results when I see people. On the contrary, it is a great pleasure for me to read and write articles, the new pigeon book is good but there are not many highlights.
On the contrary, it is the old pigeon book, from which I can know the original appearance of some of the methods and theories of pigeon breeding that are circulating nowadays, and how some things that originally described ornamental pigeons were moved to identify carrier pigeons, such as the "left seven right eight" in the "Pigeon Classic", I don't know if there is still a scourge on novices?

In view of this, it is recommended that while believing and accepting the old pigeon breeds that appear in the pedigree book sixty years ago, we should not doubt the "old" experience of the past twenty or thirty years, which is what the older generation of pigeon breeders have created and left behind with a relative lack of materials, with enthusiasm, and it is enough to take an objective attitude to fake and preserve the truth.
It is undeniable that the establishment of a pigeon breed and the more stable base must be the actual family competition results.
Some of the more successful pigeon lofts will even deliberately make the breeding structure of the pigeon breed "artificial" a mystery, such as the VIP of Hans Aiya Kapu father and son, Lai Mingcang's dragon head x phoenix mother, and the domestic Wei Zhenwu's Nine Dragon King is still unclear.
The Jensen brothers were also asked if they could not use half a Ripley to deal with it, and Van Long also broke the thought behind the back of Flas, who left after buying pigeons, "Fras, who specializes in red pigeons, must be the dog legs sent by the Jensen brothers to buy pigeons."
jb Hendry wrote in the "Natural Pigeon Breeding Method" that Makin Van Gill (the owner of the pigeons of Jan Aten "Dolly") introduced a pair of pigeon eggs from the 90 series from him to make the 84th Barcelona champion, but when the media reported that Van Gill hid its provenance...
This also makes sense why The Foreign Master can always have a long-term lineage, or can constantly "innovate", while we are always because of credulity and information lag but have been doing the takeover.
Don't ask about the pedigree, it's called "vip" anyway.
In fact, pigeon fanciers who have raised a certain number of years, there must be no less heard of this kind of thing around them, people's hearts are long, and shrewd people at home and abroad are similar.
The "bloodline" on the pedigree book can be taken as a code name, but don't take it seriously, the same "pedigree" for pigeons 60 years ago and 60 years later is certainly not the same thing.
Some pigeon owners choose to keep the pedigree secret, one concern is that the source pigeon owner is still there, and announcing the origin of the pigeons will cause other competitors to run to the source to introduce more advanced pigeons, which will be detrimental to themselves.
In addition, whether you are interested in calling the pigeons, as long as your pigeons are full of achievements, when the secret is kept, a pigeon breed called "nameless" has been automatically generated, as long as someone wants to, you can only identify you, and you can save yourself from getting up early and training pigeons in the dark, but in the end you are making wedding dresses for others.
In recent years, Chinese fanciers have won the first prize in Thai sheds, when the reporter asked why the champion was tied? Pigeon simply used his last name to answer "Bessie" in half. The reason is that the previous three generations all wear Chinese foot rings, and they are made by Chinese, so it can be regarded as a native Chinese pigeon breed, and soon after, it attracted crazy reservations from Japanese customers...
