An old man in Shanxi found a "golden phoenix" while herding sheep on the mountain. He carefully fed it for four years. What now?

In China's myths and legends, there are four great beasts, and there is even a saying that dragons and phoenixes are auspicious. As early as ancient times, the phoenix was regarded as auspicious, and the queen was the symbol of the phoenix. People's love for the phoenix can be seen from the sentence "fly to the branches and become a phoenix". However, no matter how much you like Phoenix, it is still a legend and does not exist in the real world. This also casts a dreamy light on people's love for Phoenix. Although there is no legendary phoenix, in reality, many birds have similar appearances to the phoenix. As early as a few years ago, an old man in Shanxi discovered "golden phoenix".

Bird lovers know that although birds are common in daily life, some are extremely rare. They are all national protected animals. And people who like to shoot birds probably know a good place, that is Liuhe Village in Shanxi, where there is a place to shoot birds, which was formed in recent years. The rules of this shooting place are wonderful. Anyone who needs to shoot birds must be led by Guo Cunsuo. The shooting location is fixed, and no running is allowed. The time is limited. But even though these regulations are so weird, this place is still very popular with bird photographers.

This makes people wonder why this place is so popular. What attracts so many photographers? What is its charm? This is a long story. The first thing to say is the story of Guo Cunsuo herding sheep in the mountains. Guo Cunsuo is now a bird keeper in this bird-hunting place, but four years ago, he was just an ordinary shepherd, and his daily job was herding sheep and farming. But once, when he was herding sheep, he suddenly found a bright bird, which was very beautiful. It has a slender and light body, colorful feathers and silky feathers on its head. They are coiled together like a golden crown, covered with this bird that looks like a phoenix.

Guo Cunsuo realized that this might be what the villagers often called "golden phoenix". It is said that this kind of bird is extremely rare. He was lucky enough to see it once, but he never expected to see it again! Guo Cunsuo was very excited when he found the bird. Although he is curious about it, he wants to take good care of it. From then on, Guo Cunsuo began to feed birds in the mountains. At first, "golden phoenix" was very cautious and would run away at the slightest sign of trouble. Guo Cunsuo never lost patience. As usual, he feeds golden phoenix carefully every day. Slowly, this "golden phoenix" was no longer wary of Guo Cunsuo, and more and more "golden phoenix" came to eat vegetables in the future.

On this day, Guo Cunsuo spent four years. In these four years, he spent a lot of thoughts on golden phoenix. Although he got nothing in return, he never felt unhappy. Raising "golden phoenix" is a rare pleasure for Guo Cunsuo. His family doesn't understand him, but he is very happy. But then the news of "golden phoenix" spread and many people came. Only then did everyone know that this "golden phoenix" turned out to be a national second-class protected animal-golden pheasant, and it was a key protected wild animal. This attracted more photographers, who all wanted to photograph this rare animal.

Guo Cunsuo did not exclude them from taking pictures. He took them up the mountain to take photos, but he was careful not to allow anyone to disturb golden phoenix's rest. Because of the short shooting time, many people can't take the photos they want, so many people will stay and wait for the next photo. This gave Guo Cunsuo an unexpected harvest, and his wife's farmhouse also made some money, which also improved their economic situation. Golden pheasant is very precious because of its cautious nature, keen audio-visual perception and rare number.

Everyone likes beautiful things, but because golden pheasant is too cautious, there are few photos about it. They shouldn't be close to strangers, but they also cultivated feelings with Guo Cunsuo who took good care of them. It took Guo Cunsuo four years to get Jin pheasant to accept him. He has no selfishness, but he likes them from the bottom of his heart. Maybe that's why he was able to get close to golden pheasant. People should live in harmony with nature, even if it is a grass and a tree, it needs to be treated with care.
