The old farmer in Shanxi accidentally discovered "Phoenix" and fed it for 4 years, rain or shine. What happened now?

The fate of the mysterious bird, born for business, is full of dirt. The ancient emperor ordered Wu Tang, which was in the square.

After Fang died, there were nine elections. Shang successively fell, was ordered to suddenly and violently, and his eldest grandson was in Wuding. Wu Ding's grandson, King Wu is invincible. ?

Because birds have wings and can fly freely in the sky, they often place a lot of emotions on people. The ancients especially liked to regard birds as their totems. The Shang Dynasty took the mysterious bird as its totem. It is said that Judie and two other women went to the river to take a bath. A swallow flew in and laid an egg, which Judie swallowed by mistake. When I came back, I was pregnant. After October, I gave birth to a son named Qi. Qi is the ancestor of Shang Dynasty.

However, regarding the bird totem, Phoenix is actually more widely known in China. Because there are too many places to record the phoenix, Shan Hai Jing began to record the existence of the phoenix:

There are birds, which are shaped like chickens and are colorful. It's called Phoenix, and it has a literary grace, a wing literary grace, a back literary grace, a fake literary grace, and a belly literary grace. Is it a bird that eats naturally, sings well and jumps well, and sees that the world is peaceful?

The ancients paid attention to the induction between heaven and man, and everything in heaven and earth could not be separated from Yin and Yang and the five elements. The five elements correspond to people's moral character, and people's five virtues are actually written on the phoenix: virtue, righteousness, courtesy, benevolence and faith. Although it is different from the orthodox five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, it still proves that Phoenix is unusual. It is a fairy bird. So Shan Hai Jing said? See world peace? .

Does Phoenix exist or not? I'm afraid it's hard to know now. But the phoenix as a totem really exists, because during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, a vassal state with a history of 800 years took the phoenix as a totem. This country is Chu. Lacquerware in Chu is very famous, and most of the patterns of lacquerware in Chu are engraved with phoenix. Zhuangzi, a cultural celebrity of Chu State, is also an admirer of Phoenix. He specifically mentioned Phoenix in his famous works.

Maybe you will wonder where Zhuangzi mentioned Phoenix. Zhuangzi did mention Phoenix, but now you can't see Zhuangzi mention Phoenix, because in that article, Zhuangzi wrote? Peng? . Peng is a phoenix. In "Happy Travel", Zhuangzi described Peng Like like this:

Peng moved to Nanming, the water hit three thousand miles, and those who didn't get up nine Wan Li?

Wan Li, the one who didn't get up? What a spectacular sight it is! What a strange bird! Maybe people will say, why do you talk nonsense? Peng? Is it? Phoenix? And then what? Because ancient phoenix and Peng are interlinked characters, Shuo Wen Jie Zi writes:? There are tens of thousands of birds in the flock, so they think they are cronies. ? That is to say? Friends? Or? Peng? And then what? Phoenix? It means the same thing, so Zhuangzi wrote it? Wan Li, the one who didn't get up? Big bird actually refers to the totem phoenix of Chu State.

Unfortunately, the real phoenix is now untraceable.

At present, the phoenix recognized by historians is golden pheasant, a second-class protected animal in China. Also known as Golden Rooster, it is a medium-sized chicken with a body length of 59- 1 10 cm. The tail is very long, about 38-42 cm. The male bird has gorgeous feathers, a golden silky crest on his head, a thick green on his back and a golden body. The back of its neck is covered with orange-brown fan feathers, and the edge is black, forming the shape of a shawl. The lower body is crimson, the tail feathers are dark brown and covered with laurel yellow spots. Colorful, it really has the charm of phoenix.

However, for farmers, most people don't know that this beautiful bird is the legendary phoenix, and they don't know that this bird is called the golden pheasant. Guo Cunsuo is such a farmer. In 20 16, when he was herding sheep on the mountain, he saw these colorful birds, like the legendary phoenix, which looked very festive. Guo Cunsuo, who is close to nature, became interested in this unknown bird.

He didn't bother these beautiful little guys directly, but quietly observed them nearby for several days and brought them some millet and rice. Human speech; Everything has animism. What's more, it's a golden pheasant named Phoenix? Two red-bellied pheasants gradually approached Guo Cunsuo, and even nothing flew to him. Not only that, the two little phoenixes also called all their 20 friends to Guo Cunsuo to beg.

Guo Cunsuo's coke was broken, so he made a cave here, lived in it and put food for these happy and beautiful little guys. However, he did so, which made his wife very unhappy. As a farmer, why do you go to the mountains to shoot birds every day? More than 40 birds eat a lot of food! Lao Guo has been working in the mountains for several years. Although his wife has many complaints, she always thinks about it. The old couple never quarrel.

Unexpectedly, after Lao Guo and his golden pheasant were accidentally discovered in the mountains, Lao Guo quickly became popular, and everyone came here to shoot golden pheasants. However, the golden pheasant is very vigilant. It only appears at 6 am to 10 and 4 pm to 6 pm every day. People who come to take pictures often have to stay here for two days before they can take enough pictures.

Therefore, Lao Guo specially set up a farmhouse to receive these photographers and golden pheasant lovers, and the life of the Guo family suddenly improved. From this perspective, Lao Guo did meet a phoenix that can bring good luck to people. In order to thank these little guys for bringing them good luck, Lao Guo made them a wave of food with the money earned from the farmhouse, and bought more bird food for them to eat, so that people can live in harmony with nature.
