The Wisdom of Insects and Birds

The nature of bamboo and chicken is that they will fight with each other. The captors swept fallen leaves into the city to set up matchmakers and hid themselves behind Cao Yan. Excite the medium to make it sing. Anyone who hears it will follow the sound and fly into the city with his eyes closed. He goes straight forward and wants to fight, but he has already risen and there is no way to escape. Once his eyes are closed, he will no longer see anyone. Partridges like to be clean by nature. Hunters sweep the ground in dense forests and scatter grains on top. If the birds come and go and peck at them, they use poles to catch them. When muntjacs walk in the wild grass, they are afraid of people seeing their tracks, but they follow a path regardless of the distance. The villagers knotted ropes into rings and placed them wherever they walked. Once the muntjacs had reached their feet, they would hang upside down on the branches and they would be harvested alive. There are many bumblebees in the south of the Yangtze River. People cannot identify their burrows. They often stick long paper strips to the flesh. When bees see them, they will dig them into their burrows. They will find them quietly and smoke them to get their sons. The wisdom of insects and birds is self-evident, so how can it be so unkind as a human being?

The whole article gave me the impression that "no matter how cunning a fox is, it cannot defeat a good hunter!" Human wisdom is to find the weaknesses of animals. If there are weaknesses, they will be exploited by people. 4. Reading answers to the classical Chinese text "Han Hao Chong"

When the weather is cold in late winter, its feathers The feathers fell off, and he looked as bleak as a young bird, and he chirped to himself: "I'll just get by (if I can get by, I'll get by)." Hey! Most of those without integrity in the world are unwilling to hide their names in the market at first.

Translation of this paragraph

I resigned due to illness last month and returned to my hometown to find a place of seclusion. To the west of Meixi, there is Shimen Mountain. The gloomy and steep cliffs compete with the clouds in the sky, and the independent peaks block the sun; the deep caves contain clouds and mist, and the deep valleys and creeks accumulate emerald green water; cicadas chirp, cranes chirp, the sound of water is clear, and apes chirp. Calling, the harmonious and beautiful sounds are mixed with each other, and the tones are long and beautiful. Since I have always admired seclusion, I built a house on that mountain. Fortunately, there are many chrysanthemums and bamboos. All the necessities for a secluded life in the valley are provided here. Beautiful mountains and beautiful waters are loved by benevolent people and wise men. How can we just talk about it casually?

The center of this paragraph

expresses that the author does not pursue fame and fortune, but is willing to return to nature and advocates an indifferent and peaceful life. The reason why the author chose Shimen Mountain to live in seclusion is that "fortune is rich in chrysanthemums, but also in favor of bamboos. All the resources in the valley have been done here. What is the joy of benevolence and wisdom, how can it be said in vain!"

Seeing it, I thought it was a fight against the chick, so I urgently wanted the chick to hide it. When the falcon goes away, the chicks emerge, and they drink and peck as before. After a while, there were crows gathering nearby. The chicken takes care of the chicks and avoids them. The chickens thought it was harmless when the crow started to peck at it, so they drank and pecked it without any hesitation. The crow is waiting for the chicken, eager to catch a chick and fly away.

Translation

The hen and her chicks were pecking at the remaining grains of rice and bugs and ants in the yard, chirping with great satisfaction. The eagle flew over it, and the hen thought it was going to catch the chick, so she hurriedly spread her wings to hide the chick. After the eagle flew away, the hen released her chicks and continued to eat as usual. After a while, a crow flew down and stopped next to it. The hen protected the chicks and avoided them. The crow teased the chicks, but the hen thought there was no threat, so she let the chicks drink and peck as they pleased without protecting them. The crow waited until the hen was unprepared, then quickly flew away with a chick in its mouth.
