The cultural symbol of the owl:

There is a folk saying in our country that "night owls enter the house, but they are afraid of night owls laughing if they are not afraid of their barking". Owls are often regarded as "ominous birds", called ghost-chasing birds and mourning birds. In ancient books, they are also called strange owls, ghost cars, ghosts or wandering as symbols of bad luck and death.

The main reason for these opinions is that owls can sniff out terminally ill people because of their keen sense of smell, and they will laugh. In many places, there is no superstition that owls will die within a few days after hearing their cries, so owls are called mourning birds.

In addition, the owl's cry in the dark is as gloomy and desolate as a ghost, which makes people feel even more horrible. In ancient times, it was called "a bird with a bad voice". There is a fable in Shuo Yuan Xiao Ming's Moving to the East: "When an owl meets a pigeon, it says: I will move, but the west hates my voice ...". In addition, owls lie down during the day, go out at night, and fly quietly like ghosts, and often only see a flash of shadow, which makes it easy for people who don't know much about their behavior to have all kinds of terrible associations.
