In addition, the Chinese folk legend, the annual Tanabata Magpie fly on all human Tianhe, put up a bridge of magpies, citing separation of Cowherd and Weaver Maid meet, which in Chinese culture, men and women often become Love in the Magpie Bridge Magpie hovering between saints and the secular Xu painted magpie 鹊桥 meet, Quechaojiuzhan, magpie climbing sticks, joy on the eyebrow (plum) shoots, flowers magpie, a long tail, married a daughter forget Mother ... ... magpie as a bird from the man recently, our lives have been deeply , legends and cultural expression. They are "secular", and very noble, even a "saint" of the template it. The North China Plain, or the northern part of the whole of China, the most easily seen on the roadside nest is the magpie nest. Environmental writer Xu Gang, said he once interviewed in the northwest of the desert, saw a small tree less than a meter, knot several magpies nest. He believes that this is very unusual, that the environmental degradation caused by "acts of weakening demand." Magpie is a favorite because "Yuedeng high sticks", and their nests are generally _select_ed on the tall poplars. However, recent magpie is a bird from the people, they eat rotten food and human discards them just became the most adequate and stable food source. Therefore, they are very early into the human speech system, has become an important element of cultural expression. ■ Voice of saints If you read some of the ancient Confucian essay, we will find the status of magpies actually very noble, was hailed as "saints birds." If you go to ask, you will find a very simple reason, because the ancients recognized, magpies throughout the year, whether to sound or sing, whether it is hi or sad, whether it is on the ground or in the branches, whether young or decay, whether it is temporary death or new life, after all, the sound of a tone, a tone. The eyes of the Confucian sages, the gentleman is to act like magpies as permanent, stable, clear, firm, consistent. Thus, the Confucian magpies often require people to learn, as the Magpies some sage template. Why? I think the ancient northerners accompanied by the same every day, and magpies, magpies and even instinctively seek out something as a sign of success, but I'm afraid no one really studied, long observed magpies, they see These are "probably" is defined in some "mood" are drawn his "profile." Therefore, the Magpies into the traditional culture of the eyes, mind, heart soil, was the dull, scratchy, sound is not pleasant but "stable business as usual" rattle. ■ hi come to Magpies since the "happy", will be attached there will be a type of story, I searched and searched in the ancient books, ah, finally in the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Zhuo's "Chao Ye Qian _set_" volume IV, find a such a legend: "Magpie noise Hell House ", the story and the" Wu Yeti "is quite similar:" Zhenguan the end of the Southern Tang Li Jingyi living space of Castle Peak, a magpie's nest of their side, each meals to feed it. After the near loss of cloth who falsely Pirates of King Yi, department Nankang prison more than a month, do not impeach commitment. For information of its magpie beyond the prison building, the King Plaza joy, like the shape Communication Language. The day passed as amnesty. lawsuit interrogate it to, every Xuan Yi Su Jin-Yun Road said. Third Day amnesty to, Jing-yi also mountain. I realized Xuan Yi Jin-Su who is also the preaching of the magpie. " This is the story of a very traditional type of birds gratitude. Old to eat a magpie because "neighbors" to feed meals, from the gratitude of the people, the time when the owner in trouble, not only personally go upstairs to the prison to preach good news, but also the embodiment of man, false declare the decree to help the benefactor off hard . "Xuan Yi Su Gum" is a magpie's clothing image. ■ Magpie climbing sticks "Flower magpie, a long tail, married a daughter forget the mother", this doggerel, in fact, has nothing to do with the characteristics of the magpie, but because the traditional Chinese "than the metaphor" the instinct to get away from recent human bird "from the Environment" , as is the mother of a state of human being: when women get married after his son married the kind of sense of loss. Of course, if a relationship have to also do have, because magpies like "cocky", which flew from somewhere to fall branches, often will look at the tail to maintain balance Alice; nothing to stay in the branches when often use the tail to coordinate the body, so the "cocky" This action is used to describe a person they had become complacent. ■ Quechaojiuzhan And Mao Heng's "Biography" has this to say: "not since the cormorant dove nest of magpie nests of living" --- This is a typical literary style comments. As China's literati perception of nature is only messy, they "release material", "Release name", "release device", the often false piles, since ancient times, making note of the people are constantly repeat a fault that is, by the imaginary and speculation to explain science. Confucian classics in the many words are in the secular variation occurred in life, according to people's "natural understanding" has been distorted and use it creatively. A long time, Quechaojiuzhan, it is easy to be recognized as literally, some people with less honorable way, the position occupied by others or "house." ■ Magpie Magpie Bridge India There are words, "fame", is probably derived from "Chuang Tzu." His old man said: "When the ants get the line, lost time is highly visible." And Northern Qi Liu day "new debate Shi," said: "Kunshan under the Jade arrived in Ukraine; Peng Li coast, to fish eating dogs. And who does not love, non-sexual light money, the abundance of it also. "" Jade arrived in Ukraine to "or" Yu-throwing magpie "than Yu Youcai and useless. Of course, the most beautiful legends or "meet Magpie Bridge" because the legend, the Galaxy also known as "Magpie River," and Chinese "Valentine's Day," also _set_ in the seventh day of the lunar month. On this day, crossing the Milky Way and the Cowboy Weaver meet, contribute magpie feathers and body, filled river into a bridge. That day in the past, many magpies are bald. Huang Tao Tang "sex gull Fu", said: "For David by laugh, cover in autumn to spring to; turn laugh Magpie River, from the long and would actually promote." "Full Song Partridge days," said: "Weaver Magpie River crossing early autumn, more than ten days laevis Court appointed Chang. "
