"golden phoenix" actually appeared in Shanxi? What is the truth of feeding 60-year-olds for 4 years?

According to an ancient legend, after Pangu created the world, four kinds of divine birds were born between heaven and earth, namely, Phoenix, the king of birds, Fang Bi, which feeds on flames, the double-bright bird symbolizing light and Suzaku, which is said to help people become immortals. Among them, Phoenix is probably the most famous one. The legendary phoenix, as the ancestor of thousands of birds, has been a very auspicious thing since ancient times and also symbolizes a very noble position.

Legend has it that the original phoenix was actually a female and a male, who loved another phoenix and that phoenix respectively. Later, the phoenix became the symbol of the queen, and the dragons represented by the son of heaven were a pair. But the legend is a legend after all, and it is impossible to verify whether the phoenix really appeared. Recently, however, a 60-year-old man in Shanxi discovered the "Phoenix" in the mountains.

The old man herding sheep accidentally found "golden phoenix"

In a poor village in Shanxi, there is a 60-year-old man named Guo Cunsuo, who lives in poverty. He grew up in the local mountainous area and made a living by farming, collecting herbs and herding sheep, but he didn't feel poor and lonely. According to him, one day four years ago, he was herding sheep in the mountains as usual when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the grass beside him. He felt very strange and hid to observe. But to his shock, there are two colorful "strange birds" playing on the grass, just like golden phoenix.

More and more "golden phoenix" is attracted.

The "strange bird" is covered with colorful and soft feathers, and its movements are very elegant. This reminded him of the ancient legendary Phoenix, and he suddenly felt very excited. From then on, he grabbed a handful of food and fed it to the two strange birds every day, and watched them quietly. After a long time, Guo Cunsuo brought more and more food every day, because many "golden phoenix" were attracted by him, so he set up a temporary rest place in the mountains, and these "golden phoenix" gradually lost their vigilance and wandered around him.

Golden phoenix has brought changes to Guo Cunsuo's life.

In this way, four years later, Guo Cunsuo fed more and more birds, and under the care of Guo Cunsuo, they became more and more dazzling. By chance, a photographer was collecting wind in the Woods and happened to meet Guo Cunsuo who was feeding the birds. When he looked forward, he accidentally saw "golden phoenix" on the ground. After careful identification, he was ecstatic. The photographer told Guo Cunsuo excitedly that he was feeding the national second-class protected animal "Golden Rooster". He photographed these golden pheasants and posted them online. Some bird researchers say that Guo Cunsuo has made great contributions, so more and more people are attracted here to watch the golden pheasant.

Golden phoenix attracts a large number of tourists, but the bird watching time is only a few hours every day, so Guo Cunsuo took this opportunity to open a farmhouse to entertain tourists and provide food and shelter for bird watchers. In his spare time, Guo Cunsuo will also act as a guide to explain these red-bellied golden chickens to tourists. He has always regarded these birds as his own children and guarded them carefully. In this way, Guo Cunsuo's accidental discovery of these birds brought him and local residents a lot of income, and he also made a fortune.

As you sow, you reap, which has been passed down since ancient times. If Guo Cunsuo had discovered these birds and didn't treat them well, there would not be a brand-new life now, which also boosted the economic income of the village. This is nature's return to him and a selfless gift. It can be seen that people should learn to live in harmony with nature instead of trying to control it.
