Goldfinch is not only widely distributed in China, but also rich in population, and it is one of the common birds in low mountain plains. It pecks at grain, which brings certain harm to crops; But it also eats grass and insects. Birds have bright feathers, are small and exquisite, and are easy to raise. It is a good captive ornamental bird. Proper utilization can control its population and reduce the harm to crops.

The species has a wide distribution range, which is not close to the critical value standard for the survival of vulnerable and endangered species (the distribution area or fluctuation range is less than 20,000 square kilometers, and the habitat quality, population size and distribution area are fragmented), and the population trend is stable, so it is evaluated as a species without survival crisis.
