Spring arrives and the swallows return

In the late spring, the swallows return. Because of its beautiful body shape, the swallow has been loved by people since ancient times, and there is a saying in the "Book of Poetry and The Wind of the North Path": "The swallow is flying, and the jaw is the jaw". Jaw means flying upwards, jaw means flying downwards, and although there are few numbers, they are vivid, as the eye can see.

People have likes and dislikes, and swallows have black and white. Yuan Jingwen, a native of Songjiang Huating in the Ming Dynasty, once transformed Liu Yuxi's "Wuyi Lane" "In the old days, Wang Xietang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people" artistic conception, composed "White Swallow Poem", the poem: "Liu Shu Pond Spring into Dreams, Pear Blossom Courtyard Cold Invading Clothes." The Sisters of the Zhao Family are different, and Mo flies towards the Chaoyang Hall." Using the second sister of Feiyan Hede Yu Yanzi, people speak wonderfully, and for a time when they recited Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Yuan Jingwen got a graceful title of "Yuan Baiyan".

Spring arrives and the swallows return

The people take food as the sky, but the Chinese, who are eager to eat, have never attacked the swallow, because the swallow is a bird of wealth, and everyone respects it. The ancients said: "Swallows do not enter the door of sorrow", the sorrow here is not sorrow, but unhappiness, and how to distinguish swallows? In fact, it is very simple, that is, to see if the family is quiet or not, whether there will be quarrels, we often say that home and everything is the truth. In a quiet environment, swallows will be regarded as safe, so family harmony attracts such a key as swallows.

In addition to respect, there is also a little reason not to eat swallows, that is, fear, Sun Simiao said: swallow meat is inedible, into the water is killed by the dragon, Jin People Zhang Hua's "Natural History" also said: people eat swallow meat, can not enter the water, for the dragon to swallow. It is because the dragon likes to eat swallows, people eat swallows, and dragons eat people. Zhang Hua's words must not be believed, and he once vainly said: "A woman who is not yet three months pregnant, wears a crown on her son-in-law's clothes, and pingdan goes around the well three times, and reflects the well water to watch the film in detail, do not look back, do not let the son-in-law see, and will give birth to a man." "He also said" Rabbit licked the moon and became pregnant, spitting out in his mouth, the old saying, yumu saw it." "I haven't heard of it now, and I'm even more worried about what I see with all my eyes"!

(Song Chen Yaozuo)

Ershe Liangchen, Chiaki Garden. I saw the new Yan again. The Phoenix Nest is a neighbor, and Xiao Xiang smokes late.

Chaotic into the Red Chamber, fly low to the green bank. When painting the beams, the song dusts away. For whom to return for whom, the master graces the bead curtain rolls.

According to the Northern Song Dynasty Wenying's "Records of the Wild Mountains of Xiangshan", when the chancellor Lü Yijian wanted to retire, Song Renzong asked who could be replaced, so Lü Yijian recommended Chen Yaozuo. After Chen Yaozuo paid homage to xiang, he "cherished the virtue of recommending and introducing, wrote a swallow word, carried a xiangguan, and made people sing." Chen Yaozuo was the swallow who returned and came, not knowing where to go, at this time, Lu Yijian rolled up the bead curtain to let him in and recommended him as a photo. Although it is a word of gratitude to Ende, the words between the lines are extremely subtle, not flattering, and the true literati can also see their temperament.
