, commonly known as "reed croaker bird", is a very common bird in Weishan Lake. Its scientific name is Reed Warbler (also called Big Reed Warbler ). This bird lives in reeds foraging and reproduction. Although the bird is not big, it especially likes to sing high, so some people even call it the "singer" among birds. And because it has a high-pitched "双" sound, the locals call it "reed quack bird". Speaking of this reed croaking bird, there is such a legend.
said that it was a long time ago, there was a young couple who loved singing on Weishan Lake. They held a boat, sang songs every day, and fished in the lake, and they were so happy. One day, my father told them that they must bring a scoop (a scoop made of light wood like a scoop) and cotton wool on the fish boat to prevent accidents. The two things my father said were all essential things for local fishermen to go to the lake to fish, which was a must-have for boats (just like the fire extinguishing bottles on cars now). In the past, people who lived in the lake were not rich, most of the fishing boats were not very good, and it was common for boats to leak water. Therefore, people should bring a scoop and some cotton wool when sailing and put it on the boat for later use. Once the fishing boat leaks, use the scoop to "cone" the leaking hole (block), and the scoop can also "scrape" (scoop) the water leaking into the boat. However, the two young men found it troublesome and still did not listen to their father's advice.

So after a while, the two of them sang songs again and rode the boat to fish. When the fishing boat came to the big wat (deep in the middle of the lake), due to the strong wind and waves, the originally dilapidated boat was shaken and began to leak. Both of them immediately shouted anxiously, "Cone Cone Cone! Scratch!" "Cone Cone Cone! Scratch!"·······. But without cotton wool on the boat, how can you still "cone"? Without a pull-up, how can you still "scrape"? The water in the boat leaked more and more, and the two of them were helpless and could only shout "Cone-cone! Scratch!" "Cone-cone! Scratch!"·······. Until they sank into the bottom of the water with the fishing boat.

After the couple died, they have not been reborn for a long time. The two felt very wronged, so they came to the local Guandi Temple and told their difficulties to Guan Master . Guan Erye said: "You two love to sing. Just in this reed marsh, you use your singing to remind people to pay attention to safe boating." So the couple became "reed quack birds", living in the reeds of Weishan Lake for a long time, and shouting loudly or singing "歌歌!歌!歌!"······· It seems that the fishermen here should pay attention to the safety of their boats and never forget to bring the scoop and cotton wool. When the fishing boat leaks, the "cone" will be holed and "scraped" the dry water.
Reed Crochet bird sings high on the neck
Reed Crochet bird is an expert in singing. The midsummer is the most active season for Reed Crochet bird. The hotter the weather is, the louder the sound is. It seems that the cry has nothing to do with the task assigned by Guan Erye back then. But it always stops jumping around the reed slightly. Sometimes it can hold a reed with its two feet and sings with its agile figure and crisp voice, which adds a little agility to the stuffy weather. The locals even want to use such a story of "reeds and birds" to warn the villagers that they must always keep in mind safety when sailing in the lake. Some people say that in " Book of Songs ", "Guanguan Jujiu is on the island of the river. A beautiful lady is a good match for gentlemen." Among them, "Guanguan" refers to the reed croaking bird, and "Guanguan" describes the sound of reed croaking birds. Although there is no way to examine the authenticity of this statement, it makes people feel that it is like another beautiful and ancient legend that has given the reed croaker bird.
