Thousand Origami Cranes (千羽鹤 Senbazuru，Zenbazuru) is a group of one thousand origami paper cranes (折鹤 orizuru) held together by strings. 千纸鹤[也叫千羽鹤，也称Senbazuru, Zenbazuru) 意思是悄悄地折纸鹤]用一千只纸鹤串成一串。An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by the gods. 日本一个古老的传说中的许诺说，任何一个折了一千只纸鹤的人将获得神灵的赐与去实现一个愿望。

Some stories believe you are granted happiness and eternal good luck, instead of just one wish, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. 有些故事相信这并非仅仅是一个简单的愿望，而是你会走好运和得到幸福，祝福人们长寿或祈祷受伤者或病人早日康复。

This makes them popular gifts for special friends and family. 这也使得千纸鹤作为给特别朋友和家人的礼物而大受欢迎。
