There are about 60 species of long-legged wading birds in the order Eguridae and Egurinae, several of which are usually called egrets. The Ardeidae also includes Lepidoptera (Botaurinae). Herons are distributed all over the world, especially in the tropics. Usually wading quietly in shallow water areas (such as ponds, swamps and wetlands), feeding on aquatic animals such as frogs and fish. Nest in the Woods or bushes near the water. Heron nests are often crowded in groups, called heron nests. Herons usually have an S-shaped neck when standing. When flying, the feet are dragged behind, the head is close to the body, unlike most birds, the neck is stretched forward. Wide wings, long and straight beak and sharp tip. Feathers with powder (feathers that are constantly decomposed into fine powder, used for combing and pecking feathers, absorbing and removing fish oil, sediment and dirt on the water surface).
Herons can be divided into three types: typical herons, night herons and tiger herons. Typical herons feed during the day. During the breeding season, some species have gorgeous back feathers and complicated courtship rituals. The most famous typical herons are those with large body, long legs, long neck, plain color and crested hair, especially those in North America, with a body length of1.30cm (50 inches) and a wingspan of1.8m (6 feet) or more. A. cinerea looks like a big blue heron, but it is smaller and widely distributed in the old world. The largest species is the African giant heron (A. goliath), with a body length of 150 cm (59 inches) and a reddish head and neck. The heron (A. purpurea) has a black body, which is a smaller one in the Old World.
Typical herons also include several egrets, hydrangea heron or Florida blue heron, Louisiana heron (tricolor heron), African black heron (heron or black heron) and North American green heron (green crowned heron).
Night herons have thick beaks and short feet and are active at night and dusk. Nightingales are distributed in South America, Europe, Africa and Asia. The brown night heron (N. caledonicus) is found in Australia, New Caledonia and the Philippines. Huang Guan night herons are distributed in the central and eastern United States to southern Brazil. Another kind of night heron is the cochlea heron in Central and South America, that is, the ship heron, or the cochlea heron.
The most primitive herons are six kinds of tiger herons (formerly known as tiger bream). Tiger heron is timid and withdrawn, with hidden feathers and often horizontal spots. The striped tiger heron in central and northern South America is 75 cm (30 inches) long. T. mexicanum is found in Mexico and Central America.
Egret, also known as Egret, was also called "Silk Bird" in ancient China, belonging to an order of birds-Egretidae, which is one of the rare birds protected in the world. It is also a very beautiful waterfowl. They are born beautiful, white and slender. During the breeding period, two feathers with a length of more than 10cm will be born on their heads, and long silk feathers will also be born on their chests and backs. They are very beautiful when they dance with the wind. Egrets are widely distributed in southern Europe, Africa, south-central Asia, Australia and other places. They often stand alone in the water with one foot, relying on flexible necks and harpoon-like sharp mouths to eat. They will throw mussels at rocks until they are shaken off.
Egrets like to live in lakes, swamps and wet forests, and belong to birds. Mainly eat small fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and crustaceans in shallow water. They build their big and elegant nests in trees, bushes or on the ground.
Common egrets can be seen in both old and new continents. They are about 90 cm long and only have feathers on their backs.
Cattle-backed egrets are found in Africa, South Africa and Southwest Asia, and occasionally in northern South America and the United States. It's an egret with small white feet and yellow feet, with a body length of about 50 cm. They like to live on the ground, keep company with herbivorous livestock and wild animals, and eat insects that fly because of their activities.
The feathers of cranes have high ornamental value. Ancient people like to decorate clothes, while westerners like to decorate hats with clothes. Because its feathers have high economic value, and egrets like to live in groups, it is easy to be caught in large quantities, resulting in a sharp decline in the number and almost extinction. Later, fortunately, people's clothes changed and strict protective measures were taken. Only egrets survived extinction.
Yellow-billed Egret, produced in China and distributed in Jilin, Liaoning, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Fujian and other places, is a national second-class protected animal. Rock heron, white spoonbill and black-faced spoonbill also belong to the national second-class protected animals.

In the winter of the fifth year of Yuanhe (8 10), I went to Chang 'an to see Zhang Ji. The following spring, I went to Luoyang and visited Han Yu for the first time, and I deeply appreciated my poems. After secularization, scholars were introduced repeatedly. When he was literate, he was demoted to the main book of the Yangtze River (now Pengxi, Sichuan) because of slander. He once wrote the poem Sick Cicada (Chronology of Tang Poetry). Five years later (840), he went to Zhou Pu to join the army. Wu Zonghui Chang died in Zhou Pu in the third year (843). Jia Dao's poetry formed a school in the late Tang Dynasty, which had great influence. In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Wei's "Poet's Picture of Subject and Object" was listed as one of the seven people who entered the church as "pure and elegant". In Qing Dynasty, Huaiming Li called him a "lonely man" in the Poet's Subject and Object Map of the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty, and listed many disciples as "entering the room" and "visiting the door". In the late Tang Dynasty, Dong Li, Sun Sheng and others in the Five Dynasties respected Jia Dao very much, and even burned incense to worship his portraits and poems, which was like a miracle (Biography of Tang People, Reading Records of County Zhai). Jia Dao's Collection of the Yangtze River 10, with four series widely used, was photocopied and translated in Song Dynasty. The New Collection of the Yangtze River is based on Jia's poems collected in The Complete Poems of the Tang Dynasty, and other books and related anthologies, anthologies and appendices, such as Chronicle of Jia Dao, Examination of Jia Dao's Friends, and Jia Dao's Poetry Review, are relatively complete.

This is a satire poem. The main food of egrets such as fish and frogs is slender white feathers on the top of head, chest, shoulders and back, also called egrets. The poem satirizes those insatiable people, "There is no silver here." Dignified and well dressed, but the soul may not be as simple as clothes, and the heart may not be as kind as the face. Although it has a "white" appearance like an egret, it is also like an egret, and the "heart of fish" is stronger than anyone else. Poetry is very implicit, and a word "envy" can carry the tripod. Who can a corrupt official who puts on a show cheat and how long can he cheat?

After coming to Beijing for many years, I will throw 19 five-character poems written over the years at various conspicuous doors every year for appreciation.

Author: Xu Hui
About the author:
Xu mixed (? -about 858), the word is dark, and one is medium dark. He is from Danyang, Runzhou (now Jiangsu). Sun Xu VI, Prime Minister of Wuhou State. In the sixth year of Emperor Wenzong Daiwa (832), he was a scholar, and successively served as Dangtu and Taiping Order to avoid illness. During the middle-aged and elderly period, he joined the empire and asked for help because of illness. Later, he returned to his official position as Runzhou Sima. Li Yu transferred Yuan Wailang to Mu and Ying as the secretariat. In his later years, he returned to Dingmaoqiao Caotang in Danyang and wrote a collection of poems, Ding Maoji. His poems are all close to the style, especially the five-seven rhythm, which is mature and steady in syntax and plain and unique in tone, and is called "Ding Mao Style". "Water" is often written in poems, so there is an irony that "a thousand poems of Xu Hun are wet".
Xu Hun is good at visiting ancient times. Famous works such as "East Building of Xianyang City", "Nostalgia for Jinling", "Old Los Angeles" and "Ling-Tai" trace back the past of mountains and rivers, bring forth the new, and have a sense of desolation. But it is often limited to hurting the present and nostalgia for the past, which has no deep meaning. Read too much and you will inevitably fall behind. His official tours, gifts and mourning works sometimes have good sentences, such as "The willow in the north of the Yangtze River was broken at once, and the Lingnan flowers bloomed on the boat" ("Sunset in the East Stream"), "The night wind fell on two rocks, and there were many spring rains all the way" ("Zheng Xiucai sent a letter to the East"), all of which can express their feelings in the writing scene, which is beautiful and ironic. However, shallow artistic conception and weak temperament are its common faults.
There are about 500 existing poems, none of which are archaic. In modern times, most of them are five-character or seven-character metrical poems, which are round, steady, neat and meticulous, so that they are praised as "ripe in temperament, nothing like muddy" (Tian Wen's Essays on Ancient Tang Huan). However, some people criticized him for his "specialization and combination" and "overworking without taste" (Fang Hui's Lv Kuikui). Generally speaking, his epigrams appear in the second couplet, such as "Yun Qi Shen Ting" (a work called "The Valley") and "The water goes east, the city changes, the mountains come north, and the palace is high" ("Old Los Angeles"), but in the second half, it tends to be dull, and the meaning of each song comes back from time to time. He likes to change the tone at the end of the three sentences from "flat and flat" to "flat and flat" to show a sudden change, which is imitated by later generations and called "Ding Mao Syntax".
There are two volumes of Ding Maoji, including the engraving of Jiguge in Ming Dynasty and the photocopies of four series. Han Fenlou photocopied the engraving of Song and Shu, entitled Anthology, and added two volumes. On the other hand, The Complete Works of 100 Poems of Tang Poetry included in this edition has a sequel 1, a supplement 1 and an external collection of poems 1, which is relatively complete. The Whole Tang Poetry is divided into 1 1 volume, and a considerable number of poems are reproduced with those of Du Mu and others. For deeds, see Chronicle of Tang Poems and Talented Persons of Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Hu,: (about 785-849? ), the word Ji Cheng, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was born in Dongwu City of Qing Dynasty (now Wucheng, Shandong Province). At first, I stayed in Gusu, and then I went to Chang 'an. In Changqing, Ling Huchu recommended it, but I didn't report it. The monarch mansion was excluded by Yuan Zhen, so he went to Huainan, loved the four emperors of Danyang, and lived in seclusion until the end, at the age of 70.
Throughout Zhang Hu's life, he has made remarkable achievements in poetry creation. "Thousands of miles away from home, a maid-in-waiting lived here for 20 years", hence Zhang Hu's name, but his career was bumpy. Like his works, his personality has its own unique style. Indulge in debauchery, lingering in poetry and wine. At the same time, he also valued Ren Xia's righteousness, liked to talk about war and sword, and had the ambition to serve his country. He hoped to enter politics, work for the imperial court and show his ambition. In interpersonal communication, he was famous for his poems, entertained friends at cocktail parties, and met many celebrities and officials. However, due to his aloof and arrogant personality, he was detained many times in our time and became a servant. Chen Li is helpless, "living in seclusion and doing nothing, drinking and reading Li Sao", "drinking for thousands of years and loving poetry all his life".
After Zhang Hu's death, Pi Rixiu, a doctor in Taichang, sent a poem: "It is not expensive to make friends for a generation, but all the lakes are poor. The soul should be a Jedi, and its name and legacy are on Mitchell. "
Zhang Hu's 10 volume and 468 poems are still well preserved. His poetic style is quiet and vigorous, with seclusion, but slightly not fresh and vivid; The theme of chanting is quite rich (including many temple inscriptions and poems about various musical instruments and birds, etc.) ). His representative works include Crossing the Ferry in Nanjing, Wild Goose Gate, Sending Su Shao to Lingnan, Walking on the Stone Shore, Nostalgia in Sui Palace, Joining the Army, Love My Concubine as a Horse, Poems of Two Palace, Sleeping with Pine and Puwei Cuisheng, Listening to Zheng, Scattered Flowers Building, etc. There are ten volumes in total, and two volumes of poetry are compiled (Volume 5 10 and Volume 5 1 1 of Complete Tang Poetry).

Ancient tastes climbed the Three Peaks from Nuo religion, hoping for their leisure and living in Yunyang Taoist Temple, which was compiled into three volumes by Yuntai. On his return, he compiled three volumes of Yiyang Collection and wrote one volume of National Style Zhengjue (The Book of the New Tang Dynasty and Talented Persons in the Tang Dynasty), and praised him as "the master of coquettish generation". In the late Tang Dynasty, Zheng Gu was famous for his poems. It is listed as one of the "Ten philosophers of Fang Lin". In particular, the poem "Partridge" is widely circulated and is called "Partridge Zheng". The idiom "Yi Yan Tang" comes from an anecdote in Zheng Gu: Zheng Gu lives in seclusion in Yangshan, and the poet and monk Qi once asked for advice on the poem "Morning Plum". Zheng Gu changed "a few branches" to "one branch" in the poem "A few branches opened last night in the former village of Zita Law". Qi once worshipped Zheng Gu as a "word teacher" in the imperial court. The Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty contains 327 poems by Zheng Gu. Today, the southern section of Dongfeng Street in Yichun City was named Zhegu Road in memory of Zheng Gu in the Republic of China.
In the late Tang Dynasty, Saman Heng Yue, a Hunan poet, wrote a poem "Early Plum", which he took to Yangshan, Yichun, Jiangxi Province, and asked his poet friend Zheng Gu for advice. There is a couplet in the poem: "How many branches opened in the old village of Zita Law last night". Zheng Gu looked at it and said, "It's not early to count, it's better to count one." After that, I changed "opening several branches" to "opening one branch". After listening to his words, Miracle was deeply impressed by his change. He bowed his head unconsciously and marveled at the wonderful use of the word "one", that is, he called Zheng Gu "a word teacher". Since then, Zheng Gu's reputation as a "Ci master" has been widely circulated among the literati, and relevant historical books have been loaded one after another, which has been passed down to this day.
Gu Yisheng wrote more than 1000 poems; Because he once lived in Yuntai Daoshe, he called his poetry collection Yuntai Compilation, and one was Yiyang Collection, also known as Zheng Shouyu's Anthology, which was divided into three volumes: upper, middle and lower. In addition, there are books such as Yiyang Foreign Compilation and Right and Wrong National Style, some of which have been lost. There are more than 300 poems written by Zheng Gu in the whole Tang Dynasty. Zheng Gu's official career is smooth, and his poems are mostly about praising things and expressing literati's lofty leisure, lacking social content and few classics handed down from generation to generation.
