As the saying goes: "If you believe, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it." "In history, there are various sayings and old sayings, and these words are often summarized and sorted out by the ancients through certain experiences, so some ancient sayings will still have a certain reason and basis for circulating to this day and queen.
In the five thousand years of China's history, there are many ancient languages, and the rationality of these ancient words is also debatable.
Among them, there is such a saying, the content is: "Two birds enter the house, there is no disaster and disaster." "So which two kinds of birds are the two birds mentioned here?" And what is the truth in this? In fact, if you want to understand, you still have to combine the history of the time and have a clear understanding of the two birds before you can further determine whether there is a scientific basis and reason for this sentence.
The first bird: the crow
The phrase "two birds enter the house, and there is no disaster and there is a disaster" is not difficult to understand, which means that if two kinds of birds enter the home, there will be disasters without disasters in the home. In fact, the key to understanding this sentence is to first understand what these two birds are.
And the first bird here is the crow. Since ancient times, crows have been considered an unlucky bird, both in China and in foreign countries.
First of all, crows are considered to be mourners, and it is believed that if crows appear, someone has died. So the crow is an omen of inauspiciousness. And people also think that if the crows keep calling, in fact, someone in this family will die. Of course, is there any scientific truth to this view? According to the research of scholars, there is actually a certain scientific basis.
Because crows have an extremely keen sense of smell, and sometimes we also know that if people are sick, the smell of the body will be a little different, so we think that the crow can smell it, and in addition to these, if someone in the family dies, the smell of the corpse can also be smelled by the crow, so sometimes the crow hovers in a certain house, not bad news, but smells strange.
So, sometimes the rumors about crows are actually exaggerated. The reason why crows are not pleasing to people is actually two important reasons in addition to these.
One is because the crow's appearance is not good. We all know that the crow is a pure black bird, so the color of the crow is very ugly in people's eyes. Not as flattering as the brightly colored birds.
In addition, there is another reason is that the crow's call is very ugly and harsh, many birds are very beautiful, and the crow's call is very ugly, so people also know very unlucky, very hate crows.
Therefore, in the eyes of the ancients, if the crow enters the house, in fact, even if there is no disaster in this family, there will be disasters.
The second bird: the owl
The second bird in this sentence is actually an owl. Owls often appear in cartoons or movies, and only as a mysterious symbol. And now many times the owl is also considered a symbol of ominousness.
In fact, owls are not aggressive, but because the appearance of owls is very scary, and the big eyes are also very alert, so many times people are very afraid of owls.
In addition, the habits of the owl are also very strange, it is often active at night, so it is very frightening.
And the owl's call is also one of the reasons why people hate it. We all know that the crow's call is very ugly, and the owl's call is very terrible and terrifying, so many times, people will feel creepy when they hear the owl's call. Moreover, owls are always seen in some cemeteries in people's minds, so people think that owls are unlucky signs.
Moreover, owls and crows have a habit of eating rotten meat, so many times, it is thought that owls can also smell corpses, so many times, if an owl appears in a family, generally everyone will drive it away, and think that this is actually a bad omen and symbol.
Therefore, if an owl enters the house, people also think that something bad will happen, and they are very vigilant.
In fact, the scientific basis for this is the same as that of crows, all because owls have a keen sense of smell and love to eat carrion, while owls like to be nocturnal, and the ancients were very dark because there was no light at night, so they were very afraid, and they would also have a fear and awe of owls.
What is the meaning of these two birds now?
With the development of the times, the times have changed, whether it is a crow or an owl, although many people still think that it is an ominous omen, but many times people have begun to gradually understand the scientific basis contained in it, and they have begun to treat these two birds rationally.
Therefore, in dealing with these old sayings, people are now very calm, and they will not think that crows are bad, and they will also have their own considerations.
Of course, there are also many birds in people's impressions that are auspicious omens. First of all, such as the dove, in people's hearts, it foreshadows this peace and beauty.
In addition to pigeons, people are also very fond of swallows, thinking that if swallows build a nest in a certain household, they think that the family will have good luck and be very auspicious. In addition, birds such as magpies are also symbols of good fortune and are also very popular among people.
However, with the passage of time, no matter what kind of bird it is now, it is actually an ordinary animal, and it should coexist peacefully with people, and it should not be judged from the appearance or sound of the bird, but should love any animal.
Although crows eat carrion, it is also because they eat the corpses of dead animals in nature that the ecology can be cycled and operated normally, so they also have a lot of credit and are also an indispensable part of nature.
epilogue
With the development and progress of the times, people have begun to think more about some ancient sayings, and will not blindly superstitious sayings. As for all kinds of animals, we must also look at them rationally, they are all pros and cons, and they cannot be generalized. However, although many of these old sayings are no longer applicable, they also contain deep cultural traditions and are an indispensable part of our culture.
Therefore, for the colloquialism, we must also "take its essence and remove its dross" while protecting it, and understand it more reasonably.
