"Follow" and we'll talk more together.

Twitter sparrows are part of many people's childhood lives, and many mischievous children have even dug out sparrow nests. Anyone who has raised sparrows should know that their love will not only not bring any benefits to these elves, but will also "them off" alive.

However, some people said that the sparrows they saw were different from when they were children, and there were even media rumors that the mainland soil sparrows had been replaced by imported foreign birds. If this rumor is true, then who exactly is the person who completed the work of importing sparrows, how did they solve the problem that sparrows are easy to "die of anger", and for what purpose?

The sparrow population has changed blood, and "imports" have replaced native sparrows, why?

According to some media reports, the reason why the mainland wants to import sparrows is because of the mistakes made during the "elimination of the four pests" period. In 1955, the mainland officially listed rats, flies, mosquitoes and sparrows as four pests, and the "brick family" headed by Guo Moruo even wrote an oil poem "Curse Sparrows" as propaganda materials specifically for the eradication of sparrows.

It was not until 1960 that this outrageous policy was finally abolished, and Sparrow's wrongful conviction was completely rehabilitated. Ironically, after the sparrow was kicked out of the list of "four pests", Guo Moruo, who had previously shouted for the elimination of the sparrow, actually turned the pen and sang the praise of the sparrow to destroy the pest.

According to later publications, more than 10 million sparrows were mistakenly culled in Sichuan alone, and the ecological catastrophe nationwide is even more unimaginable. Hence the rumors that the mainland imported sparrows from the USSR.

This rumor is in fact true, because it has three very fatal holes:

First, there is no precedent in the world for foreign trade such as importing sparrows. Sparrows are timid by nature, and they will not let their guard down even when drinking water or eating, and if they are forcibly caught with a catchnet, they will die of stress response.

So even if the Soviets had the spare time to help China catch sparrows, and they thought of a way not to let sparrows die on the way to import, then the final price of export to the mainland would be ridiculously high. So don't say that it was China at that time, even today there is no such commodity as a sparrow in our foreign trade import catalog.

Second, the power of "eliminating the four evils" is not so great. Although the education we receive from childhood tells us that the ecological environment is very fragile and that animals will become extinct if they are not protected, have you found that the other three members of the "four pests" are not extinct to this day, and even if we increase our efforts to control them, flies, rats and mosquitoes are still very arrogant.

In fact, sparrows did not become extinct in the "four pests" operation of that year, because they were so capable of giving birth. According to current data, there are about five different types of sparrows on the mainland, any of which breed more than four per clutch, and in the warm south, sparrows can breed three to four times a year.

Another point worth paying attention to is the "pompous style" of the fifties and sixties. At that time, the phenomenon of lying about the results of the "movement" was very common, and even the "fat pig elephant race" could be widely publicized as advanced deeds, so we had every reason to believe that the "results" of the "sparrow fight" operation in various places were not so exaggerated.

Third, the living environment of sparrows varies greatly. Many people see that sparrows look different, and they think that the creature of sparrows has changed, but in fact, people's living environment has undergone earth-shaking changes.

With the continuous development of mainland urbanization, the impact of environmental pollution has caused many sparrows that originally lived around us to migrate to the deep mountains and old forests. For example, many of the tree sparrows that many friends saw when they were children, their biggest feature is that their color is reddish and their faces have small dark spots, and they are already far away from the high-rise buildings of the city.

And the house sparrow we see every day has also undergone tremendous changes. If you look closely, you will find that almost all the sparrows in the city are black, as if rolling in a coal pile, and at first glance they think they are some new species, but they are actually just victims of air pollution.

At present, the mainland has listed sparrows as "three animals", and those who catch a large number of sparrows will face severe punishment by the law. For the sake of our green water and green mountains, we must resolutely resist the uncivilized eating habits of eating sparrows.

epilogue

Rumors stop at the wise, and rumors about sparrows must be stopped. In the fifties, because of the "sparrow harmful theory" promoted by Guo Moruo and others, this lively elf suffered for five years of arrogance, and now the "import theory" has once again put sparrows on the cusp, which is all harm caused by rumors. Mainland law clearly stipulates that rumor-mongering and rumor-spreading are illegal acts, and everyone must not take chances.

So how do you think sparrows should be protected? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss, like our article, trouble everyone to pay attention!
