Who knows that the life of a group is small, and it is generally flesh and blood.
I advise you not to pat a bird. My son will be in the nest waiting for his mother to come back.
Literary appreciation
"Whose life? General flesh and blood are generally skin. " This poem first puts forward the poet's own point of view with a rhetorical question. The tone of rhetorical questions makes the feelings stronger, showing the poet's kindness, kindness and respect for life.
Then point out that birds have flesh and bones like people. It is true that there is no distinction between high and low in life. Everything in the world, like human beings, is alive, alive, and flesh and blood. Humans should treat them like brothers and sisters and never hurt them.
Later, these two sentences, "Don't beat the branches, the son hopes the mother will return to the nest", put forward the exhortation that human beings should be kind to animals, and touched people with the touching scene of young birds looking forward to the mother bird, which gave people a strong shock and the persuasion effect was very remarkable.
The language of the whole poem is simple and natural, which warns readers to be kind to animals through the natural phenomenon of "children look forward to their mother's return" and expresses their concern and sympathy for the fate of birds. This is not only an ecological consciousness, but also a profound implication:
The poet deliberately compared people to birds, and advised the dignitaries at that time to learn to respect the people, because the people had the same life and dignity as the dignitaries.
