The forest is a place full of stories.
In the mysterious Nuozhadu Provincial Nature Reserve, cut through the clouds and mist to see the green mountains, all things have their own life, each has its own nourishment, then, why is the fairy in the forest it?
A white egret stands in the forest, elegant and leisurely, like a white-clothed immortal who sees thousands of sails and is independent.
The egrets have been a valuable ornamental bird since ancient times.
The famous "poet immortal" Li Bai once praised the white egret's purity and purity, and its detachment, "The white egret is as white as a brocade, and the white snow is shameful." In the jade pool, among the brush bristles. The night perches in the cold and the moon is quiet, and the flowers are leisurely in the morning. I want to get this bird and play on Bishan Mountain. ”
The Book of Birds once recorded: "Like a pheasant and white, walk and stop leisure".
Xiao Yingshi, a literary scholar of the Tang Dynasty, praised it as "a simple and idle appearance, not mixed with birds".
From the fifth dynasty to the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the famous chancellor and literary scholar Li Fang called the white egret "idler".
In the Qing Dynasty, the white egret was also used as a motif for the five-rank official uniform, symbolizing integrity, integrity, purity and self-love.
As the totem of the Hani people in Yunnan, the egrets are closely linked to ethnic humanities.
It turns out that this is the fairy in the forest.
Today, various beautiful images of the egrets still exist.
The dense canopy blocks the sun, forming sparse bushes and empty understory spaces, watching it drag its long tail, feathers like fairy cloaks, in the dark forest looks particularly dazzling, white and majestic. In the current Nuozhadu Provincial Nature Reserve, because there are very few intruders, every day, the egrets will "drag their families and mouths" through the forest, wandering around, or looking for food, or hiding from natural enemies, showing their beautiful figure.
As ecological protection measures become more and more perfect, the population of these beautiful forest fairies is growing, and if we are lucky, in the near future, we will often encounter egrets, see more amazing moments, and share this natural home with it.
