There has always been a saying in China that "a chicken coop flies out of golden phoenix", which means don't be too whimsical, showing how rare the phoenix is. In ancient China, Phoenix was a synonym for good luck, even ordinary people didn't need it. For example, although it is an ancient marriage, these are the standard equipment that ancient people will have when they get married. In fact, many people can easily wear rockhopper. Only some qualified people can use what kind of crested rockhopper, and there are clear regulations. It is such a symbolic auspicious beast that has become a colorful "strange bird" in Shanxi. The 60-year-old farmer has been feeding for 4 years without compensation, and the experts have made great contributions. What's going on here?

There are no animals on the earth. This is a lifeless world.

There have been many books and stories about Phoenix since ancient times. Among them, Zhuo Wenjun's song "Yellow" pushed the Phoenix to a climax at that time. But for many people, the phoenix is a mythical beast, which does not exist in this world. Like a dragon, although many historical records have been left, and even their detailed descriptions and paintings have been circulated, no one has ever seen its real body.

The old man named Guo Cunsuo is from Shanxi. He grew up in the mountains and can interact with them every day. He has been herding sheep for a living here. After all, the conditions in the mountains are limited, and it is impossible to survive only by crops. So this mountain is where he lives. Although he doesn't earn much money here, he is free to shuttle between mountains and accompany birds and animals every day. Plus Guo Cunsuo was nearly six years old at that time.

Therefore, it is very pleasant to herd sheep in the mountains every day, and it is also very pleasant to walk in this mountain forest after grazing sheep. It was not until four years ago that he overheard a different sound among the mountains. He has always lived here and is very familiar with the mountains. At first, he was not afraid, but curious. Then he followed the sound and found a very beautiful bird not far away. Against the backdrop of mountains and sunshine, the birds' feathers are colorful, much like the "golden phoenix" they saw when they were young. It is slender and colorful, and the feathers on its head are very imposing. The golden crown instantly made the old man like it.

Out of love for this beautiful bird, in the following days, Guo Cunsuo silently observed these birds every day and brought food from home to feed them. After a long time, these birds became familiar with Guo Cunsuo and formed a fixed feeding relationship. Every day, he can attract "Phoenix" with food to grab food. As time went on, more and more birds came, and he fed them once a day from the beginning. However, because it is inconvenient to enter the mountains every time, Guo Cunsuo refused to even herd sheep in order to take better care of these "phoenixes". He even set up a shed in the mountains and moved here to live, becoming a full-time bird people.

In this way, he became Guo Cunsuo of bird people. In four years, he took care of these birds rain or shine, and the beautiful birds gradually developed from a dozen in those years to dozens. Every time he feeds, these birds beg from Guo Cunsuo in droves, which is very spectacular, but it is obvious that his efforts have been affirmed by the birds. After years of getting along, these birds have become one with him and will wander around him defenseless. Guo Cunsuo enjoys these colorful birds circling around him and flying freely in this mountain forest. Every time I see him, I feel comfortable and beautiful. Even if he delayed making money and faced family responsibilities, he felt that his contribution was very worthwhile.

Later, by chance, a photographer came to this village. After learning of the existence of the photographer, Guo Cunsuo took the photographer to the place where he fed Phoenix. It is here that the photographer saw the unforgettable beauty of his life, that is, the harmony between man and nature. Then the photographer photographed the elves in the mountains, and the photographer himself didn't know what kind of bird it was. It's beautiful. The photographer who returned to the city gave the bird's photo to the expert and gave it to Guo a few days after he left.

As a national second-class protected animal, golden pheasant was also listed in the red list of IUCN in 20 12, which can be said to be very precious. Moreover, the origin of its common name "golden phoenix" is that this bird can be said to be the prototype of the ancient phoenix, which was later published with the photographer's shooting of golden phoenix, attracting the attention of many photographers and bird research experts. Many photographers are interested in shooting golden pheasant, but the old people only feed it twice a day, and they only have two opportunities to concentrate on shooting. Coupled with the light in the mountains and other factors, it often takes photographers many days to take a very satisfactory photo.

So they will choose to live in the villagers' home or Guo Cunsuo's home. At this time, Guo Cunsuo saw so many people's love for these birds that he directly opened a farmhouse to provide accommodation for these bird watchers. In addition, Guo Cunsuo, as a bird people, often leads the way for these people who come to watch, and at the same time, in order to prevent some people with second thoughts from hurting these birds, he will pay more attention to them. Slowly, because many people's visits have brought high economic benefits to the village, people in the village have also spontaneously maintained these golden phoenix, thus forming a virtuous circle. Phoenix brought them benefits, and they provided protection for Phoenix. It can be said that people and animals have reached a strange harmony at this moment.

Guo Cunsuo has never asked for remuneration for his protection of golden phoenix for many years. It can be said that he gave up the responsibility of herding sheep with his own passion, and even spontaneously moved to the mountains to take better care of the birds. It can be said that these phoenixes are lucky. They met Guo Cunsuo, and their love was unrequited love. They invested time and money to protect them for four years, but Guo Cunsuo was also lucky. He met this one. It is a national second-class protected animal. Four years of protection has brought him considerable benefits, brought different changes to his village, and enabled him to stick to his hobbies and really shoulder the responsibility of supporting his family. It can be said that the relationship between them is a symbiotic relationship, mutual achievement and mutual care. Maybe this is what people call animism.

Conclusion: Protecting animals means protecting our own kind.

Although many animals in China are protected and people are not allowed to hunt at will, there are still many people who take chances every day and try again and again on the edge of the law just to make a fortune through these game or fur. The relationship between Guo Cunsuo and Phoenix shows us another kind of harmony. After sincere love and dedication, they will always repay people's love and protection in another way. I believe that if more people in the Party live in harmony with animals, animals will not be in danger, and people can gain another kind of wealth through guarding, so that when there is no buying, selling or killing, it is really possible to fly out of golden phoenix in the mountain nest.
