Introduction: The old saying goes: "There are four sounds at home, which is not a good omen." Which four sounds are there? Is there any reason?
There are often some old sayings, proverbs, etc. in rural areas. Some contents are something we cannot see and learn in books, but we can often hear the elderly talking about these things. We all know that in our lives, especially in rural areas, you can often see magpies . The old saying goes: "Magpie calls, good things come", especially the pleasant sound of magpie chirping in the morning, which makes people feel particularly happy and happy, and the whole set will be in a good mood.
In fact, in our countryside, we often hear the cries of various animals. In addition to the pleasant cries of magpies, some hens can also learn from roosters and roosters crow early in the morning. In the countryside, the livestock, horses, donkeys, and cattle raised by many people in the countryside, and occasionally they can hear the cries of them in the middle of the night.
was observed in the long-term life of our ancestors, and it was concluded that some animals' chirping was a good thing, and of course some animals' wails also indicate the arrival of bad things. Human beings are the spirit of all things. They are upset by the worldly affairs and retreat from the instincts that should have. Even if disasters are coming, they can't feel them. They can only use the abnormal phenomena of animals to analyze and judge based on experience to obtain good and bad signs. Today I will talk to you about "There are four calls at home, which is not a good omen." So do you know which animals call these "four calls"? Is it still applicable today? Let’s learn about it together!
The first call: owl called
owls are still relatively common in rural areas, especially when they were young, there were many owls. Owls are an animal that is active at nocturnal time. They basically hide in their nests and sleep during the day.
At night, you can occasionally hear the owl's screams different from the usual screams. The sound is particularly scary, a bit like a wailing cry. This kind of cry is called "owl crying" in rural areas. I believe many people have heard an old saying, "I am not afraid of owl crying, but I am afraid of owl crying."
What happens if you encounter an owl? There are some sayings among the people that owls are regarded as an unlucky bird in the folk. In some places, owls are called "death-reporting birds". The owls are really terrifying at night, and their spine is numb. I have also heard some older people say that the owl's cry will cause bad things to happen, but I will die. In some ancient books, owls are also mentioned as symbols of death!
Owl is one of the animals with particularly sensitive smell. When some living animals are about to die, they will emit a special smell, and the owl may be able to smell the smell in advance. Therefore, there is still some truth about owls "not afraid of owls crying, but afraid of owls crying". This is not superstition!
The second type of barking: the dog barks in the middle of the night
Dogs are used to come to protect the home in the countryside, so basically every family in the countryside will raise a dog to come to visit the home, especially when a thief comes to the home, there are also reminders from dogs that dogs play a very important role in the countryside.
But at night, when it is late at night, many people are already asleep, and the dog's hearing sensitivity and sense of smell are also more sensitive. Any small sound will make the dog bark, which is also a reminder for rural people that someone may come, and it is also a good reminder.
Generally speaking, dog barking in the middle of the night is normal, but if you suddenly hear the dog barking differently than what we usually bark, especially heart-wrenching or the dogs in the whole village bark, then you should pay attention. Experienced rural elderly people are very sensitive to this. The dog barking is very miserable and barking. Generally, unlucky things may happen, and people may die or earthquakes may occur.
Dogs can't bark at night at thirty. There was an old saying: I told the dogs to be obedient and don't bark at night. Dogs bark at night at thirty. I have to go to my home. The third type of call: a hen learns to call a rooster
4 People who live in the countryside know that the hen's crowing usually has to be finished or crow back after laying the eggs. The rooster crows usually crows in the early morning every 5 days. If you encounter such a situation, the hen does not lay eggs, but will crow like a rooster, and the older generation will say that something bad will happen.
I still remember when I was a child, an old hen at my grandma's house suddenly learned to crow by a rooster for some reason. When the neighbors heard it, they advised grandma and the others to kill the old hen. It was a bad omen for the hen to learn to crow by a rooster, and later my grandfather killed the chicken.
In fact, it is indeed rare for a hen to learn to crow a rooster, but something unlucky may not happen. Another situation can occur, such as the hen's secretion of estrogen is weakened, while the androgen is strong. This situation can also cause the hen to learn to crow a rooster.
There is a saying: Crowing in the middle of the night in the rural rooster is considered an ominous sign, and a hen learns to crow the rooster but wants to behead his head. There was such a saying in ancient times: "The hen holds the morning" is a sign of yin and yang being reversed and the sky is turned upside down. If a rooster suddenly crows in the middle of the night, this is not good either. There are poultry, especially roosters. Generally, they start yelling at around 4 a.m., rooster, in the countryside! The rooster crows at least twice a night, around four o'clock, before dawn. If some earthquakes and other geological disasters occur, the chicken can feel them in advance and will also call them like this.
The fourth call: the crow's call
Can you still see crows in your hometown in your rural area? I remember when I was a child, crows were flying in groups in the sky, and the sky was filled with darkness. Especially in the trees in the village, the crows can also be seen.
Ordinary crows will not sing. If you can hear crows chirping constantly, the elderly will say that they are unlucky and something bad will happen. In TV series, there are often such plots, with crows screaming, and then there is a scene of someone dying.
Crows are birds that pay special attention to the environment. Crows are called "death-reporting birds" among the people. It is unlucky to hear the crows crying, and the crows are black all over, which makes them feel unlucky. Among the people, especially those with patients at home, they especially dislike the arrival of crows, which often brings unlucky signs.
From a scientific point of view, animals such as crows and owls, scavenging omnivorous birds, have a very sensitive sense of smell and can smell the smell of decay. Do their calls make sense?
We also have this statement here, and there is still some truth, but I think we can't blame them for this phenomenon, which is a reminder for people.
