Plead for the "bird" You are spiritual.

In Chinese novels and folk colloquialism, brothel owners have been called "Bao's mother", "Madam" or "pimp" so far. What is the relationship between the proprietress of a brothel and the bustard? The earliest literature about great bustard can be found in the poem "Great bustard Feather in Tang Dynasty": "The trip of great bustard in Su Su is thicker than bud mulberry." It describes the flight and habitat of the bustard bird. Check Shuowen again: "bustard, bird also." Meat comes out of the foot (sound z). "Just say that great bustard is a fleshy bird (a big piece of meat is called great bustard), which has nothing to do with great bustard. In the Song Dynasty, Ya Ya only introduced: "Great bustards live in groups like geese, so they naturally have ranks. "

The relationship between prostitutes and prostitutes originated from Zhu Quan's On Mr. Danqiu in the Ming Dynasty: "The old prostitute is a prostitute. Great bustard is as big as a wild goose, with no hind toes and tiger stripes. Love is not boring, birds want to ask. " Modern writer Nie Kenu said in On Lady: "Madam, prostitute means prostitute." Without any explanation, wearing the hat of "prostitute bird" on the head of female great bustard is a reflection of male center. As we all know, only males courted females in estrus, such as peacock and cock with bright tail feathers, while females in estrus pursued males. The exclusive use of madam is obviously out of ignorance and prejudice.

The creation of Chinese characters is very particular. It must be based on actual observation and cannot be taken for granted. Let's look at the word "pheasant" first The pheasant is a side arrow, and the arrow is a note. The word pheasant sounds like a vector, but it has a deeper meaning. Because pheasant is a wild bird living on the grassland, the grassland is endless, which is not conducive to its long-distance flight. It is easy to be captured by predators or shot by hunters, but it is beneficial to its hiding. Hiding in the grass is not easy to be found. You look close to it, and it suddenly takes off, like hide and seek. Because its flying distance is about one arrow (arrow), it is named pheasant.

According to the pheasant's word-making technique, it can be inferred that the "bi" plus "ten" in the left half of pheasant should also mean something, that is, it is related to the so-called eroticism. Shuowen did not explain this point. In Liu Shufuzheng, it is said that the "ratio" in the upper left corner is "more economical than it". From ten to ten, compare. "This is an evasive explanation. To put it bluntly, bi is a symbol of female genitalia, ten is a symbol of men, and "bi" plus "ten" means mating. There are many pheasants, geese and bustards that inhabit the ancient grassland, and they all have mating behavior during estrus. However, because only the great bustard is big and the most difficult to fly, it is easy for people to observe the mating situation of great bustard, leaving the impression that great bustard likes mating, so this word was created.

Great bustard is widely distributed in the grasslands of northern Eurasia, and it is a migratory bird migrating south in winter. There are about 20 species, which is the largest and heaviest of the existing birds. It is not good at flying, so it is easy to be hunted by humans, and its species and quantity soon disappear. Great Britain bustard became extinct as early as 1838. According to the survey, there are only over 200 great bustards left in China. From 65438 to 0997, Beijing Endangered Animals Center rescued six great bustards and observed their mating behavior. The results showed that male great bustard showed conspicuous actions when courting, such as spreading its wings, arching its tail, turning its tail forward, twisting its hips, swinging its wings from side to side, shaking its feathers all over its body, etc., followed by female great bustard. Female bustard will also make corresponding actions to accept courtship. These conspicuous performances appear five to seven times a day during estrus. The ostrich is about to disappear from the earth, which is indeed a valuable observation, which is helpful to deepen, supplement and correct the shortcomings recorded in ancient books. This observation shows that the courtship behavior of bustard in estrus is animal nature, and the male bustard is active. However, people label female bustard as "lustful and insatiable" and pass it on to prostitutes, which is totally wrong observation and male prejudice.

In particular, in addition to small fish, frogs and insects, bustards also prey on locusts, scarabs, caterpillars and other agricultural pests. Therefore, it is a beneficial bird that is beneficial to human beings. People kill it, eat its meat, decorate its feathers, and exterminate its species, giving it the notoriety of "happiness" out of thin air. If an ostrich could talk, it would protest and say, "It can be tolerated, but it can't be tolerated!" " When it is about to disappear from the earth, shouldn't it be rehabilitated and deeply reflected?
