There was such a trend in the circle of friends of the editor, that is, no matter what you sent, there was always someone commenting below" "Then this has to ask Dai Sheng", "Dai Sheng" and so on.
This caused me a lot of confusion, who is this? Later Xiaobian found the reason, it turned out to be a blogger called "Blogger Magazine", his comments below the daily people asked Dai Sheng this bird, only to find out later is a group of water troops, so the blogger seriously popularized once said that he would never answer it again, which gradually became a stem.
This bird looks very special in appearance, and it can be said that if you see it once, you will not forget it. Dai Sheng is about twenty-five centimeters long, has a slender beak, and has a black and white stripe like a zebra on its back and wings, and the most distinctive thing about their appearance is its long crown, which is brown in color and black at the top, which looks like wearing a hat like an Indian chieftain, which is really funny. They are also jokingly called mountain monks in China, do you know why? This is because their chirping resembles the monk's chanting, hence the name, and xiaobian feels that they look quite like lamas, have long hats, and the color of the feathers on the neck and chest is somewhat similar to the lama's robe.
The origin of the name
Relieved of the doubts about the name of the mountain monk, is it that Dai Sheng is very similar to a human name but as a bird's name, which is also confusing, then Xiaobian will briefly talk about the origin of their names. The word first appeared in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", as an ornament on the head of the mythological figure Xi Queen Mother, and "sheng" in our ancient times earliest represented the meaning of ornaments, and later everyone noticed this bird with a feathered crown, so they gave it the name of Dai Sheng. The ancients' writings and works all described the bird Dai Sheng, thus proving this statement, for example, a Qing Dynasty scholar Xu Nai pointed out in his "Miscellaneous Interpretations of Reading": "Gai Dai Sheng is like its form and name."
It contributes to nature
Dai Sheng is distributed in many parts of the world, inhabiting many open places such as forests, river valleys, farmland, etc., often alone or in pairs scattered on the ground foraging, they like to eat some walking insects, Tianniu larvae and other pests, often when foraging will often insert the beak into the soil, so you see that their beaks are so long is also a certain reason, they are still famous birds, in the protection of forests and agriculture is very helpful.
