Parrot is a kind of bird that is loved by people. There are many varieties and they are colorful and can be found everywhere. The most amazing thing is that parrots can imitate human speech, which is very lifelike, which arouses people's interest in teasing. I remember there is a couplet, the second line is "The bird is in the cage, hate Guan Yu cannot Zhang Fei ", many parrots have this fate. My previous article, "Thrushes are singing happily in the forest, don't be greedy and imprisoned", actually also applies to parrots. Now, let's enjoy five ancient poems about parrots, all of which are Tang poems.

1. Longshan : Legend has it that it is the hometown of parrots, so parrots were also called "Longke" in ancient times;

2. Solemn reminder: Some parrot species are nationally protected animals, such as the South American Blue and Purple Macaw Parrot, which is protected by International Convention protection, adoption is not allowed without legal procedures.

1. The banished immortal revisits Parrot Island, with all kinds of tastes in his heart

"Parrot Island" Tang· Li Bai

Parrots came to the Wujiang River, and the name of parrots was passed down on the island on the river.

The parrot flies west to Longshan, and the trees in Fangzhou are so green.

The smoke is blooming The orchid leaves The fragrant wind is warm, and the peach blossoms are blooming on the shore.

At this time, the immigrants are just looking at each other, who can see the lonely moon in Changzhou?

Blue Parrot

Parrots once flew over the Wujiang River, and there are legends about parrots on the sandbanks in the river. The parrot flew all the way west, back to its hometown of Longxi, and only the grass and luxuriant trees were left on the sandbank. The warm spring breeze blows the smoke, mixed with the fragrance of orchid leaves. The peach blossoms growing on both sides of the river fall into the river, creating layers of beautiful waves. The relegated distant guest could only look far into the distance at this time. I wonder who the lonely moon on the sandbank was lighting for?

Li Bai was demoted to Guizhou due to the Yongwang incident, and encountered the world's amnesty. After "a thousand miles of Jiangling returned in a day," he came to Jiangxia and visited Parrot Island (in today's Hanyang District of Wuhan City, disappeared in the late Ming Dynasty). Rarely, Li Bai finally regained a trace of his former heroic spirit, although he could still see the sequelae left by the last catastrophe. I feel that this poem has the shadow of Cui Hao"Yellow Crane Tower", and the general framework has traces of imitation. After all, he once said, "You can't do it when you have a view in front of you," and Cui Hao wrote a poem on it. "Parrot Comes" Passed by and flew away, but Li Bai came and returned to his old place, as if he was in another world.

2. Parrots are like tricks, and the deep courtyard is closed

"Parrot" Tang· Bai Juyi

Parrots from Longxi came to Jiangdong, and they grew red over the years.

I often cut my wings when I want to return, and I open the cage temporarily for feeding.

Although the words of pity are strong, the bird has a different intention of flying high.

It should be like a red gate kabuki , hidden in a closed back room

. Caged Parrot

A parrot from Longxi was caught and brought to Jiangdong. After being fed for a few years, the parrot's beak gradually turned red. The owner often worried that the parrot would fly back to his hometown, so he shortened its wings in advance. The cage is only opened for a short time when feeding it. Although the owner loves its clever mouth and loves it deeply, the parrot always recalls the days when it was free and flying. How different the parrot's situation is from people's thoughts. It's like a Kabuki raised by a powerful person, hidden deep in a room behind someone's yard, like a cage.

This poem is obviously about parrots, but it's actually about Kabuki. The parrot is beautiful, and there is another picture. A clever mouth, a graceful figure, a beautiful face, and a clear singing voice are all the same thing in the eyes of dignitaries. The Tang Dynasty The rich and powerful pursued elegance, as if they didn't have a few singing and dancing musicians at home. It’s just like they are not tasteful enough. In fact, the author Bai Letian himself is not like this? . After all, they may still feel that they are the food and clothing parents of these "canaries"

3. The young woman in the boudoir wipes her bare hands, the green parrot is generally worried

"Sunshot" Tang · Li Shangyin

The sunshade screen window is shaken by the wind, and the fragrance is fragrant. Luo wipes his hands, the spring is gone.

The corridor covers the loneliness, the green parrots meet the red roses.

A pair of parrots

The sun shines through the screen window, the breeze shakes the window, the long-lost spring scenery returns, I wipe my hands with a silk scarf and handkerchief.The long corridor is closed on all sides, hiding the lonely people. You can only admire the green parrots and red rose flowers .

This is a boudoir poem . The spring sunshine is warm, slanting in through the window screen, and the warm spring breeze is blowing. The young woman in the boudoir sweated a little and wiped it with a silk scarf. There is a long corridor and the young woman is alone. Naturally, she feels lonely. What should I do? Fortunately, there are green parrots and red roses. Perhaps the birds and flowers are equally lonely.

4. The golden cage is not my land, Longshan is happy

"Parrot" Tang Dynasty Laihu

The color is as white as the snow clothes, the mouth is red and the hair is green, and the words are still strange.

Flying together

The fine white hair is like covering it with a layer of snow. It has a red beak and green wings, and the strangest thing is that it can imitate people's speech. Year after year, being locked in a golden cage, how can it be compared with flying freely in the mountains?

The parrot has white and green feathers and a red beak. It is incredible that it can imitate human speech. It is precisely because of this that parrots are caught, put in cages, lose their freedom, lose their nature, and are imprisoned for a lifetime. Flying leisurely and carefree in the mountains and forests is probably a parrot's eternal dream.

5. In order to learn the skills of tongue, the carved cage cannot produce

"Parrot" Tang· Luo Yin

Don't regret that the green feathers of the carved cage are incomplete, the ground in the south of the Yangtze River is warm and the west is cold.

advises you not to use clear words, but to use clear words to avoid difficulties.

Blue and white parrot

Don't resent being locked up in a carved cage, don't resent your green feathers being cut off, this is a warm place in the south of the Yangtze River, much better than your cold hometown in Longxi. I advise you to imitate other people's speech, but not to speak clearly and arguably. In that case, it will be very difficult for you to fly out of the cage and regain your freedom.

This poem is very interesting, and the whole poem is full of irony. Put yourself in your shoes, who wants to be trapped in a cage? "Life is precious, but love is more valuable. If you want freedom, you can throw away both." If you lose your freedom, you will lose the interest of being a human being. This is true for people, and so is the bird. But out of greed, people will still lock up the parrot and clip its wings, just to give the owner a little fun. Just because it's beautiful, a parrot may not suffer like this. What's more important is that it can learn to speak, which is a greater misfortune.
