Birds are the elves of nature, the good friends of human beings, and the key chain of ecological balance in the natural environment.
They can be found in different parts of the world, hiding in the deep jungles, soaring freely in the distant pale blue sky, and nesting in the empty and distant village mountain tops.
In fact, there are countless species of birds, and their behaviors are very different, and there are differences in human likes and dislikes, some birds are highly sought after, and some birds are disgusted and hated.
As the saying goes: "Three birds enter the house, not rich but also happy" is about this difference, different birds into the house on behalf of the meaning of the different, some birds into the door has the connotation of wealth and joy.
This is a typical method used to express emotions and convey the yearning for a better life, and it is necessary to look at it dialectically, and the common ANGELO birds are magpies, swallows and cranes.
Ki-hsien
Magpies, with black and white plumage, chirp gracefully and gracefully, often perched at the foot of the mountain, at the edge of the forest and beside the house, is the most representative of the Annunciation, and the reason for its reputation is:
Festive and auspicious. It is said that the magpie is to spread good news to the world, and when people hear the magpie singing, it means that there will be a happy event in the family, and it is a messenger to spread the gospel and a symbol of good luck.
There is also a beautiful artistic conception such as joy and joy, and people regard the appearance of magpies as a good omen and express their yearning for a better life.
Fun for the whole family. The magpie is the protector of the family, a symbol of reunion and love, it is the builder of a happy family in the construction of the magpie's nest, and it is the bond of reunion between husband and wife in the love story of the Cowherd and Weaver Girl.
Especially for the newlywed Yan'er, there is a magpie in the family, which has the meaning of joy and joy, which can have the effect of blessing happy love and happy marriage.
Protect crops. Magpies eat all kinds of insects to inhibit the expansion of the population of pests and diseases in the field, and also eat plant seeds to control the disorderly spread of weeds.
It should be noted that in different periods, the food sources available to magpies are different, and the role of protecting crops is only very limited, and some time periods may also steal crops and disrupt production order.
swallow
Swallows, known as Xuanniao and Vermilion Birds, show the nobility of their status and are also deeply welcomed by ordinary people.
Predict the weather. During the period when the swallow perception system was developed and agricultural science and technology were not developed, the weather changes could be known through the analysis of the swallow's state.
This can help people adjust their agricultural production plans, and it is known as "swallows fly low in the snake aisle, heavy rain will come soon", and knowing in advance that the rainstorm is coming, you can adjust the drainage and irrigation matters.
Prey on pests. Swallows, with their short beaks and wide mouths, have a large internal space, and are good at hunting field pests, such as planthoppers, beetles and moths.
Studies have shown that during the period from April to September, when the pests are active, two house swallows can catch more than 500,000 pests, which can reduce the investment of pesticides and human resources in the process of pest control.
Nesting requirements: Different from the poor living conditions of other birds, swallows are selected to perch on good trees, and have high requirements for the nesting environment, which should be clean and bright, quiet and comfortable, safe and unhindered, and have the habit of nesting in the same place continuously.
At that time, this kind of nesting environment happened to be mostly rich and wealthy families, which could provide a lasting shelter, and the poem said that "in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people", which is the characteristics of the swallow's choice of nesting environment.
crane
The crane, with its graceful posture and symbolizing longevity, virtue and seclusion, is deeply loved by people and is widely used in architecture, sculpture, painting, clothing and animation.
Cranes for longevity. In the traditional culture of the mainland, the crane is an auspicious bird, which is synonymous with longevity and health.
In addition, there are idioms used to express longevity, such as turtle crane longevity, pine crane Changchun and turtle age crane calculation, crane and deer Tongchun, etc., indicating that the crane has the meaning of longevity in the eyes of the ancients, but in fact, it is because of the poor medical level at that time, resulting in the life expectancy of human beings is not as good as that of cranes.
Crane as a virtue. The crane's body is slender and light, its posture is tall and beautiful, its feathers are white and flawless, and its body exudes a sense of serenity, tranquility, elegance and mystery.
Taken together, these elements can appropriately express the literati's pursuit of good character, such as traditional virtues such as elegance, nobility, integrity, and purity.
The crane is hidden. Cranes live in isolation, far away from the world, often inhabiting uninhabited swamps, wetlands and pastorals, as long as they encounter people approaching, they quickly withdraw, and the temperament of seclusion and arrogance is prominent.
The reclusive literati and writers often compare themselves with idle clouds and wild cranes, wanting to be as unhurried, carefree, and detached from the world as cranes, crisscrossing the four seas and eight wildernesses without hearing the trivial matters of the world.
Finally, in real life, with the large-scale use of pesticides, the normal survival of magpies, swallows, cranes, and other birds is threatened.
The size of the bird population has decreased dramatically, and more and more birds choose to flee to the deep mountains and old forests, and if the birds are not protected in time, the chances of seeing birds with auspicious meanings in the family are getting smaller and smaller.
Therefore, wild birds encountered in the wild should be actively protected, and innocent birds should not be harmed, or the integrity and stability of the ecosystem may be damaged, and they may also suffer from prison disasters.
