Birds Return to the Nest is a poem by Ouyang Xiu, a writer in the Song Dynasty. This poem takes a bird as a metaphor. While praising the imperial court, he expressed his confidence and determination to join the auxiliary government of the DPRK.

In this poem, both the phoenix and the bird have their own symbolic meanings.

Phoenix is a divine bird in China traditional culture, representing good luck and wealth. In this poem, the phoenix represents the senior officials and nobles of North Korea. They are in high positions and enjoy wealth, but at the same time they also need to bear great responsibilities.

Birds represent ordinary people or low-level officials. Although ordinary, it also has its own value and dignity. In this poem, hundreds of birds represent many people. Although they are ordinary, they all have their own lives and families, and they also have their own happiness and pain.

Through the contrast between the phoenix and the bird, the poet expressed his concern and love for the dignitaries. At the same time, he also expressed his determination to be conscientious and loyal to the country and the people.
