After reading the story about crows and birds

1. What does the story of the crow and the lark tell us?

This story tells us that God rewards hard work.

The crow really doesn’t understand why the lark can sing such a beautiful song. When people talk about the lark, they always praise it.

The crow thought: How great it would be if I could have a natural voice like a lark!

The crow really couldn't think of any good way, so it had to ask the lark for advice and ask the lark to help it achieve its goal.

The lark told the crow: "If you want to have a good voice and sing beautiful songs, you have to get up early every morning and practice regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. , If you continue to practice for a long time, you will definitely achieve success."

Before the crow finished listening to the lark, it flew away unconvinced (unconvinced, dissatisfied).

Those who are afraid of difficulties will get nothing. (1) Extended reading after reading the story about the crow and the bird

The practical significance of the crow and the lark: students rely on God to reward their hard work

The British Ministry of Education announced the reform of mathematics teaching, England Half of primary schools will use traditional Chinese mathematics teaching methods. Children will have to do calculation exercises from the age of 5. In addition to ensuring accuracy, they must also continue to speed up calculations. This move by the UK has given us a new understanding of "Chinese-style education".

In recent years, as quality training and ability development have received more and more attention, "Chinese-style education" seems to have been labeled as "rote learning", "cramming teaching" and "question-based tactics". There are terrible "wolf parents and tiger mothers", teachers with pointers, endless test papers and students who can only take exams.

It is true that "Chinese-style education" exists in the phenomenon of examination-only and score-only theory, but its emphasis on cultivating students' solid basic skills cannot be ignored. Why does the UK want to introduce Chinese mathematics teaching methods? This is because if we only talk about "natural freedom" and allow personal development, in the end, we may cultivate people who cannot even do the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division independently. And this is obviously not a comprehensive and successful education.

Learning is never easy. The process of memorizing and reciting over and over may be painful, but one day, you will understand the principle of "read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will appear by itself"; the days of staying up late and going to the library may be difficult, but after success, you will find the meaning of every struggle. Night is so precious... It is the same at all times and in all countries.

So, stop complaining about how hard "Chinese education" is, and stop blindly envying how good "Western education" is, because learning is not easy, and God rewards hard work.

2. What is the main content of the 60 words about the crows and birds in Aesop’s fables?

Ask the birds for feathers and put them on their bodies.

3. Crows and Birds

Magpies have black and white body colors, while most crows are all black. But this is not absolute, because the body color of some crows such as Dauri jackdaws and white-necked crows is very similar to magpies, and they are also black and white. However, magpies have black and slender tail feathers, while crows have shorter tails, so they can be easily distinguished. .

Secondly, magpies are smaller than crows, and their calls are also somewhat different.

In addition, crows fly like hawks, gliding slowly in the air, while magpies resemble sparrows, and the tips of magpies' wings are white.

4. The fable The Story of the Crow and the Fox

"The Crow and the Fox" comes from "Krylov's Fables".

Original text

There is a big tree in the forest, and there are crows living on the tree. There is a hole under the tree, and there is a fox living in the hole. One day, the crow took a piece of meat and rested on a tree. The fox saw it. The fox salivated and wanted to get the piece of meat from the crow's mouth. Since the crows were holding the meat in their mouths on the branches, the foxes had no way of getting it under the trees.

The fox's desire for meat made him unwilling to give up easily. It rolled its eyes and said, "Dear crow, how are you?" The crow did not answer. The fox had no choice but to say with a sorry smile: "Dear crow, how is your child?" The crow glanced at the fox, but still did not answer. The fox shook his tail and spoke for the third time: "Dear crow, your feathers are so beautiful, the sparrows are far behind you.

Your voice is so good, everyone loves to listen to it. You sing, can you just sing a few words? "The crow was very proud of it: he said that I have a good voice, and the only one who likes to hear me sing is you, the fox, so he sang happily. As soon as he opened his mouth, the meat fell out of his mouth. The fox picked up the meat and went into the hole, leaving only the crow "singing" there.

This story satirizes those who are vain, self-righteous and love to show off.

5. Please briefly tell a story about birds

Once upon a time there was a big bird with one body *** one pair of wings *** one pair of claws, but It has two heads. These two heads each have their own thoughts and agendas. Every time when I was eating, I flew to the tree to eat the fruit.

The two of them ate desperately. When it comes to eating, if you eat one more, I will peck you. The bird on the left pecks at the bird on the right, and the bird on the right attacks the left, attacking each other.

This is what these two birds thought in their hearts. I should separate from them quickly, otherwise, I won’t have anything to eat and it will be all their food. But there are two, one is flying east and the other is flying west. Woo, it fell to the ground and couldn't fly. Because it has one body and one pair of wings, but its thoughts and opinions are completely different. Once you fly, you can't fly. You have to move independently, but you can't move.

Later, the bird head on the east side was smarter, and the bird head on the west side was dumber. The bird head on the east side thought I was very smart, so he told the other head: "I will take you to a place full of overgrown trees." A tree with fruit, that’s delicious, okay?” The bird head in the west said, “Okay.” As a result, it flew to a tree full of fruits in two parts.

The bird head in the east said: "Oh, this is delicious. Eat it and see." The bird head in the west ate it, "It's very delicious." I don't dare to eat the bird's head on the east side. It thinks in its heart: Hum, hum, hum, wait a moment and I will poison you. It turned out that the fruit was poisonous, and the bird head in the west kept eating it. After eating it, the poison developed and he died. After death, he fell from the tree because he had the same body. If you kill the bird's head in the west, you will kill yourself if you kill the bird's head in the east.

6. What does the short article "The Crow and the Lark" tell us?

This story tells us that God rewards hard work.

Chinese name: The Crow and the Lark

Author: Watching Angel

Content: The story of The Crow and the Lark tells the story of a singing lark in the forest. The crow was envious of her singing voice, so he asked the lark for advice. The lark told the crow to practice hard, but the crow sang for a while, but the sound was still unpleasant, and he hated the lark from then on.

But because of the fire in the forest, the lark screamed out in order to save everyone. From then on, the lark's voice was as hoarse as the crow. The crow wanted to make the lark look embarrassed in front of everyone, so he told everyone that the lark's voice was hoarse. . But Lark practiced repeatedly and incorporated this hoarseness into his singing, which was really better than before. The lark received warm applause from the birds, and the crow left in shame.

The practical significance of the crow and the lark:

1. Diligence

< p> The process of growing up in life is also a process of learning. A person who quits when faced with difficulties will get nothing, because there will be no gain without giving. If you want to gain the best, you need to give. And it takes long-term persistence to get it. If you want to be praised by others, you must be diligent, keep working hard, and prove your achievements with facts, and only then can you be praised by others.

2. Hard work

Hard work makes our life full of enthusiasm, and diligence makes our life more meaningful. Every impact of the sea water was ruthlessly shattered by the rocks, but it was not discouraged. Only by experiencing the struggle in the dark night can the silkworm chrysalis turn into a beautiful butterfly one day. No pain, no gain, no struggle, no hard work, even fertile land cannot grow crops.

3. God rewards hard work:

A real warrior will not be knocked down by the difficulties in front of him, while a coward will sink in the face of calm waves. Life can be sweet or bitter, you can win or fail, but you can't give in. Even if you fall a hundred times, you have to stand up a hundred and one times. God rewards those who work hard, and opportunities will only come to those who are diligent, while those who are lazy will only go further and further on the road to success.

7. Introduction and legend of crow

Crow is the common name for several black birds in the family Corvidae. It is the largest individual among the passerine birds, with a body length of 400 to 490 mm; its feathers are mostly black or black and white, and the black feathers have a purple-blue metallic luster; its wings are much longer than its tail; its beak, legs and feet are pure black. There are 36 species of crows, distributed almost all over the world.

The cultural meaning of crows

The image of crows in traditional Chinese culture

Before the Tang Dynasty, crows played auspicious and prophetic roles in Chinese folk culture There is a common historical legend that "the crow announces the good news, and the Zhou Dynasty begins to rise". Dong Zhongshu of the Han Dynasty quoted the "Biography of Shangshu" in "Spring and Autumn Dew·Likes Move": "When the Zhou Dynasty was about to rise, there was a big red crow carrying the valley. When they were planted and gathered in the king's house, King Wu was happy and all the officials were happy." There are also famous records in the ancient historical books "Huainanzi", "Zuo Zhuan" and "Historical Records".

After the Tang Dynasty, the theory that crows bring bad omens appeared. Tang Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Zazu" said: "There is no good news on the ground when the crows sing. When people are leaving, they move forward with the crows, which is very happy. This is It is not recorded in the old account."

Whether it is bad or good, "the crow feeds back, the lamb kneels to breast" is a consistent saying of Confucianism using animal images in nature to teach people "filial piety" and "propriety". Therefore, the image of the crow as a "filial bird" has been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years. "Compendium of Materia Medica·Qin·Ci Bird" states: "When this crow is born, its mother feeds it for sixty days, and when it grows up, it feeds back for sixty days. It can be said to be kind and filial." But whether crows really have this habit remains to be seen by modern people. Confirmed by research and observation.

In modern times, crows have been given the color of a lonely and brave freedom fighter who reports sorrow but not good news and specializes in exposing and criticizing unreasonable phenomena. For example, Hu Shi's vernacular poem "Old Crow":

I get up early in the morning,

Stand in the corner of other people's houses and cry hoarsely

People dislike me and say I am unlucky ;──

I can’t whisper to please others!

The weather is cold and windy, and there are no branches to live on.

I flew back and forth all day long, feeling cold and hungry all day long. ──

I can't carry a scabbard and fly for others

I can't let others tie it to the end of a bamboo pole and earn a handful of millet!

The cultural image of the crow in various regions (ethnic groups) in China

Northeast region:

The crow is the ethnic predictor of happiness for the Manchus, the indigenous ancestors of the Northeast. Gods and protectors are also recognized by "shamanism" and most Tungusic-speaking ethnic groups. There is a legend of "the crow saved the ancestor" (Taizu of the Qing Dynasty), and there are also records from the Qing Dynasty documents: After several generations of Yongshun in Bukuli, "their The descendants were tyrannical, so they rebelled. In the sixth month, they captured Edoli and killed all the descendants of the clan. Among them was a young boy named Fan Cha. He escaped and walked into the wilderness. When the rear troops chased him, a divine magpie would perch on his head. The pursuers thought that there was no place for the magpie to rest on the human head, so they suspected it was a dead tree, so Fan found out and hid his body for the rest of his life. Later generations of Manchuria all regarded the magpie as their god, so they did not harm him. ": Northeastern mountain people. When people go hunting in the mountains, they also have the tradition of "sacrifice meat and wine to sacrifice crows".

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Taizong specially set up a "Saulun pole" in front of the Qingning Palace in the Forbidden City in Shenyang to worship crows, and set up a special place in the west of Shenyang City to feed crows without harming them. See "Anecdotes of Historic Sites in the Three Eastern Provinces": "It is necessary to spread grain on the ground in the west side of the palace in Shengjing to feed the crows. At this time, the crows gather in groups, flying, perching, pecking, combing their feathers, fluttering their wings solemnly , The flying cries are dumb, millions of them, the roofs of the palace are almost full of them." After Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he also set up a "Saulun pole" in the Forbidden City in Beijing to maintain the highest level of human worship of crows. .

Southwest region:

In some areas of Tibet and Sichuan, China, the crow is also worshiped as a sacred bird, whether it is the excavated Tibetan documents or the "hanging coffins" and "hanging coffins" in the southwest region. The custom of "sky burial" proves this point.

Central Plains Region:

Wudang Mountain is a Taoist ancestral temple, and crows are regarded as "spiritual crows". A crow temple is built on the mountain. "Crows catching food" is one of the eight scenic spots in Wudang , even tourists entering the mountains should carry some food with them and scatter it for the crows to peck at.

In short, although the crow has an indecent image, it only has a gray impact on people’s psychology in Chinese culture, and there is no special rejection of it.

The image of crows in the UK

Although the image of crows in modern China is mostly negative, they are regarded as treasures by the British royal family. This is because there is a legend in Britain: If all the ravens in the Tower of London leave, the Kingdom of Britain and the Tower of London will collapse (When ravens leave the Tower, the saying goes, the building and the monarchy will

fall.). In order to respect the ancient legend, the British government still pays the expenses and raises crows in the tower. It is said that as long as there are crows in the tower, England will not be invaded. Otherwise, the country will suffer bad luck. To ensure that all of the crows do not leave the Tower of London, some of their feathers have been clipped and they lose the ability to fly, but they are looked after very carefully.

The influence of crow culture in the world

Like China, crows are a contradictory cultural image internationally: 1. Historical legends: Negative image: Ancient Greek mythology influenced most of the early civilizations of southern Europe. It is said that the sun god Apollo fell in love with Glus, and sent a holy bird to monitor Glus's conduct. One day, the holy bird saw Glus. Gluth was associated with other men and thought she was having an affair with other men, so she came back to report to Apollo. Apollo shot Gluth in a rage.

Later, it was proved that Gluce had not had an affair with another man, and Apollo angrily denounced the sacred bird, turning its white feathers into black. This is the origin of the crow, and the crow gained the reputation of deceit. In English, eat crow----means to slap oneself in the mouth. Positive image: In contrast to Southern Europe, in Northern Europe, the crow has become the embodiment of thought (Hugin) and memory (Munin). Legend has it that Odin, the Lord of the Gods, can observe the whole world with one eye open, while the other eye is always closed. When he opened his eyes and was blocked by the universe, he sent two crows standing on his left and right shoulders to patrol the world. Therefore, Odin, the Lord of the Gods, knew everything about the world. In North America: Vancouver, Canada There is an ancient legend circulating in the area: In ancient times, after a flood that destroyed the world, a crow wandering on the beach discovered a large shell that made a strange sound. It turned out that there were original humans inside, and the crow guided them to land. , but they were all men. The crow went to the seaside and found a huge chiton. Hidden underneath were all women. The crow brought them together, encouraged them to communicate with each other, and summoned the sun, moon and stars to them. Fire, salmon and fir trees taught them hunting and farming, guiding human evolution and development day by day. Crows were also worshiped as sacred birds in the fishing and hunting areas of ancient East Asia. Japanese documents such as Japan and Japan record that Emperor Jimmu went to Kumano on his eastern expedition and was besieged by the enemy on Kumano Mountain. The god sent the "Yatatori" to guide him through the encirclement. Later, more than 3,000 Kumano shrines were built in the country to worship crows. The influence continues to this day.

Crow symbol

Most people’s opinion

In ancient witchcraft books, crows, like black cats, often represent death, fear and misfortune. Synonymously, the crow of a crow is regarded as a bad omen and an ominous omen. People believe that the crow of a crow will take away a person's life and soul. Therefore, the crow is hated by people and considered to be a bird of great omen.

Because crows have a keen sense of smell and can sense the smell of decay and death, they are considered to be unlucky birds.

Crows are originally auspicious birds

Birds have been closely related to humans since ancient times, such as "the ambition of the swan", "Zigui cries blood", "two orioles singing in the green willows, and a row of egrets on the "Blue sky"...The ancients left us countless idioms, fables, poems and pictures about birds. They contain ancient people's understanding, imagination and attachment to nature. Starting today, this page will open a column called "Birdsong Volume". The author, Mr. Feng Yongfeng, is a reporter for Guangming Daily and the initiator of the non-governmental environmental protection project "Natural University". This first "bird cry", let's talk about our most common crow.

There is a very interesting "military writer". She went to western Sichuan to collect stories, and suddenly found many crows. She wrote in surprise in the article: "It is said that crows in the world are all black. Why did the crow I saw have red beaks and feet? Could it be that the crows here have mutated?" In fact, what she saw was a red-billed chough. , if she goes to a higher altitude, she may also see the yellow-billed chough, whose beak and feet are yellow. If she travels to the Xinyang area in southern Henan and observes more carefully, she may see a crow with a white neck, whose scientific name is the white-necked crow.

If she likes to read ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting, she will also find that the ancients liked to draw "Pictures of Jackdaws after the Snow". Some of the crows on it are wearing white coats, and some are black like traditional crows. . The modern scientific name of this kind of crow described by ancient painters is really called jackdaw, or some people call it "Dauri jackdaw". When the artist painted jackdaws, he probably painted both "crows" in cold weather and "jackdaws" in cold weather. Most of these paintings were painted in the north. There is rarely heavy snow in the south. Even if the ground is covered with heavy snow, it is rarely so empty and vast. Even if there are some flat areas, there may not necessarily be crows gathering around them.

Crows' love of gathering is used as a derogatory term, such as "rabble", which is used to describe a group that has no organization or training and gathers temporarily like a flock of crows. "The Book of the Later Han: The Biography of Geng Yan" says: "The crowd of people riding on the ground suddenly is like pushing dry and broken ears." Crows, magpies, and gray magpies are the birds that I have ever seen that stick together the most, and they are also the birds that are best at fighting in groups. For any possible danger, they will respond to each other, gather quickly, and ignore individual lives for the sake of common interests.

From this point we can see that crows and magpies have the same origin. Crows and magpies both belong to the Corvidae family, and both often live near humans. Similar to sparrows, they are "loved birds". Over the years of bird watching, I have often seen crows and magpies forming their own legions and fighting over territory. Where there are crowds of magpies, there are generally no crows; in areas controlled by crows, there are generally few magpies.

Some people don’t like crows. When they go out in the morning, if they see a magpie for the first time, they will feel happy; if they see a crow for the first time, especially if they hear a crow for the first time, they will worry about bad luck. . If someone said something worrying, they would be ridiculed as "crow's mouth". But if we go to China's historical materials and search, maybe we will find that crows are actually quite positive birds.

China has always believed in "ruling the world with filial piety". In order to cooperate with the tradition of "filial piety system", the ancients invented the "Twenty-four Filial Piety Pictures", which listed different types of filial son's behavior for society to learn from.

But this is not enough. The Chinese people have a well-developed image and meaning thinking. Words are of form and meaning, poems are of form and meaning, and fables are also of form and meaning. For those who like symbols and meanings, attaching certain special meanings to the common species around them is a must.

Common birds were used by the ancients one by one. The wild goose represents the longing for people far away, the cuckoo (cuckoo, Zigui) represents the traveler's nostalgia for his hometown, the sparrow and the sparrow represent the short-sighted villain, and the swan (Hong is a wild goose, and a swan is a swan) represents lofty ambitions and powerful talents. As for the crow, a beautiful legend has been attached to it. Whether it is a large-billed crow, a small-billed crow or a bald-nosed crow, they are all used to represent "filial piety" in general.

In many Confucian classics and legends, it is always said that crows "feed back their loving relatives". It means that crows are a typical example of filial piety. When their parents are old, old, sick, tired of the world, and unable to find food, the little crows, young crows, and crows of their children and grandchildren will not only look for food for their parents Food, and crows, not only look for food for their parents, but also make the food delicious, just like humans spitting food to raise their children. The reason why Li Mi's "Chen Qing Biao" became a famous article has a lot to do with this paragraph: "Chen Mi is 40 years old this year, and his grandmother Liu is 90 years old this year. It is the longest time for me to pay tribute to your majesty. I will repay Liu." The days are short. I am willing to beg for my love. "Personal filial piety is greater than loyalty to the court."

Most of the ancient literati were people who were obsessed with imagination. If we insist on correcting them with a scientific attitude, it will appear that we have committed a logical disease and a superstitious scientific disease. Scientifically speaking, there are sunspots and flares on the sun, and ancient Chinese people called the sun the "Golden Crow." Some ancient paintings actually show a crow squatting on the sun. The ancients believed that there is a three-legged crow in the sun and a rabbit in the moon, so they used "crow flying with rabbits" to describe the movement of the sun and the moon and the passage of time; when literati described the sun setting and the moon rising, it must also be "the golden crow falls in the west and the jade rabbit moves". Dongsheng".

Crow is also used to describe a certain official position. The most common one is to describe the censor. The censor's mansion is also called Wufu. It is said that this started from the Han Dynasty. "Han Shu·Zhu Bo Biography": "At that time, there were more than 100 official residences in the Yushi Mansion, and the wells were all exhausted. There were also cypress trees in the mansion, and thousands of wild crows often stayed on them. '."

Among the Chinese guqin music, there is a song that is still played and sung, called "Crying in the Night". Zhang Ji, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote "The Cry of the Night". Before the poem, there is "Yin" saying: "Li Mian's "Qin Shuo" said: "The Cry of the Night" was created by the daughter of He Yan. In the beginning, Yan was in prison. , There are two crows hanging on the house. The woman said: "If there is a sound of joy, my father will be spared." Zhang Ji's poem goes like this: "The crows of Qin are dumb, and the officials in Chang'an are crying at night." If you are offended and imprisoned, you will sell your property and you will redeem yourself. *** I heard crows crying at night, knowing that the official had a letter of pardon. Be careful not to cry in vain. I will use your garden tree to build a high nest, so that your chicks will not be hurt every year." He Yan was a metaphysician in the Wei Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms, and Li Mian was a high-ranking official and clan relative in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that he was also a musician and a master of piano making. . Commentators from later generations pointed out that "Qing Shang Xiqu" also contains a poem "Crying at Night", written by King Linchuan of the Song Dynasty, "which has the same meaning but different meanings".

The last collection of poems by Ted Hughes, the British poet laureate who died in 1998, was called "The Crow", and it has never been completed. It is said that only two-thirds of it was collected, and some poems were not even written. Complete. Therefore, some literary researchers believe that this shows the poet's pursuit of "blank space". In ancient China, crows were often included in poetry. Here, let’s end with an ancient poem related to crows. Bai Juyi's "Ciwu's Night Cry" praises the crow's return of nourishment, criticizes the state of the world, and criticizes the unfilial in the world. It is worth reading:

Ciwu lost its mother, and uttered a mournful voice hoarsely. He does not fly away day and night, and keeps his old forest for many years. It cries at midnight every night, and anyone who hears it is Zhanjin. The voice is like telling, but the heart of giving back is not fulfilled. All the birds have no mothers. You alone are deeply saddened. It should be that the mother is kind and loyal, so that you will not let go of your sorrow. In the past, there was a man named Wu Qi, whose mother died and did not come. Alas, this disciple has a heart as good as that of a bird. Ciwu, Ciwu, Ciwu, the ginseng among birds.

8. In the story "The Little Fox and the Little Crow", after the little fox eats the meat of the little crow, what will the old crow say to the little crow

The fox is It's a cunning animal. It doesn't matter if it is deceived. It lets you know that you have to think about the consequences before doing anything, just like the meat in your mouth falls off after you open your mouth to answer.

9. People A Story with Birds

A house was about to be demolished. The owner of the house found a lizard with nails pierced through it in a half-demolished wall. The owner remembered that he had nailed this nail to the wall 20 years ago to hang his wedding photos. Unexpectedly, he nailed a life in the wall. But the most surprising thing is that the lizard slowly started to move and it was still alive.

The master was surprised. He sat nearby and observed carefully to see why the lizard could stay nailed to the wall for 20 years. After several days of observation, the owner discovered the secret: It turned out that the lizard’s companion kept feeding it food from everywhere, and had been feeding it for twenty years! !

Postscript: After this lizard was pinned, it can be said that it has decided that it will be "inactive" in this life. It can neither be "promoted" nor "get rich."

And those companions still took care of it for twenty years without hesitation. How many people can do it as a human being?

10. Lin Qingxuan’s ?Auspicious Bird>>Reading Thoughts

?Auspicious Bird>>Reading Thoughts

Today I read the prose work "Auspicious Bird" by Lin Qingxuan "Bird", I was deeply attracted by this topic from the beginning. I was thinking: What kind of bird is an auspicious bird? Why is it called an auspicious bird? The auspicious bird is a magpie, a sparrow or a lark. . . . . . I walked into the author's mind with these questions. After reading this prose story, I realized that the auspicious bird is the crow. I muttered in my heart, Hey! That’s not right! Why is the crow an auspicious bird? According to the traditional view, the crow is an unlucky symbol and should not be an auspicious bird! This article tells the story of the author who came to Vancouver, Canada. When he walked out of the Vancouver Airport, he saw many crows in the airport parking lot, even parked on the roof of the car. People were not afraid of the crows. They crowed and flew around people. The friend who came to pick up the plane saw the author's surprised expression and said with a smile: "Canada has the most crows. Canadians regard crows as an auspicious bird. Crows are very smart, very lovable, have a nice voice, and can To maintain the ecological balance, crows are also one of the few birds that can feed back food. "By the way, I have heard that crows often throw fruits that cannot be pecked on the road and let the cars crush the fruits and then eat them! It turns out that Canadians see crows the same way we see magpies. The crow, which is a dangerous bird in the eyes of the Chinese, is an auspicious bird in the eyes of the Canadians. It can be seen that the value of things in this world varies from person to person. If our prejudices are changed, the value of things will change.

The unlucky thing that symbolizes bad things is our heart. What does it have to do with a crow?

?Lucky Bird>>Reading Thoughts

When you open the door of my room, you can feel the strong fragrance of books filling the air. Oh! I am savoring Lin Qingxuan's work - "Auspicious Bird"!

In Vancouver, Canada, people love crows. The locals think crows not only look good: they are dressed in black evening gowns, like gentlemen; they also have a nice voice. The cry of this cute little creature is so unique! Moreover, crows are also the only birds in the world that know how to feed back. But what about in China? People think that crows are unlucky and can bring bad luck to people, so crows often appear in derogatory terms, such as: "crow's mouth", "crows in the world are as black" and so on.

How can there be such a big "preference"?

I think this is all because people in the two countries view crows from different national customs, habits and perspectives, which will produce completely different results. This reminds me of a little fable:

There was a spider weaving a web in the corner. The web it had just put a lot of effort into weaving before it had time to appreciate was "whipped" by a strong wind. The one was blown. The spider climbed up and weaved hard again, but unfortunately it was even more torn by the wind before weaving a few times. Again the spider crept silently to mend its web, but in the end it failed. This process was witnessed by two people, A and B. A said: "Spider is so patient. He is not afraid of setbacks and faces difficulties. I want to be like him!" So A became stronger. B looked at the spider and said, "This little thing is so stupid. Why don't you find a place with no wind to weave a web? I can't be as stupid as it!" So, B became smarter.

Indeed, different results come from different views on things, and it is these views that cause some differences of opinion and even lead to different lives.
