The morning dawns and the cuckoo screams
Wake up from a sweet dream in the morning
I only heard it and disappeared
The sound of blood is a magical bird
Tips: The cuckoo bird is a special bird, it likes to lay its eggs in other nests, and not all eggs in the same nest, they usually only lay one egg in one nest.
The cuckoo is the cuckoo. The cuckoo is the common name for the birds of the rhododendron family, and the common ones are the large cuckoo, the three-voiced cuckoo and the four-voiced cuckoo. The big cuckoo calls like "cuckoo, cuckoo", so it is also called cuckoo.
There are many poems and songs about the cuckoo, and the most typical allusion is the story of the cuckoo turned into a cuckoo.
Legend has it that there was an emperor named Du Yu in ancient Shu, and his queen was in love with each other, and then he was killed by a traitor, died miserably, and his soul turned into a cuckoo bird, crying and wailing in the queen's garden every day, and the tears that fell to the ground were drops of red blood, dyeing the beautiful flowers in the queen's garden, so the descendants called it "azalea". The queen heard the wailing of the cuckoo bird, saw the red blood, and then understood that it was her husband's soul incarnated, under the sadness, day and night wailing "the son returns, the son returns", after all, depressed and died, her soul turned into a fiery red rhododendron blooming all over the mountains, and the rhododendron bird inhabits and accompanies each other, so this rhododendron is also called "Yingshan Red", which is the allusion of "the cuckoo cries blood, and the son returns to mourn".
Now the greenery in Dongying is so good that all the cuckoo birds have been recruited, and 50 years ago, it was a barren land where "there were more telephone poles than trees".
