"Persuade you not to shoot spring birds" comes from the poem "Birds" by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The meaning of this poem is relatively simple: tell us not to shoot birds in spring.
Birds usually lay eggs at this time of spring. If you kill a bird at this time, it probably means that a nest of birds will die without the care of their mother. So on the surface, it only hurts a bird, but in fact it hurts a nest of birds, so it is also a big crime.
Creation background
Bai Juyi was born in troubled times and went through hardships. He knows that working people, like birds, work hard to support their families. In this poem, he sympathized with the lower class and vented his dissatisfaction with the ruling class.
The ancients said, "I advise Mo Chunsheng to harm your mother and even your son." But Bai Juyi himself believes in Buddhism and knows the compassion of Buddhism. "I advise you not to eat March fish, there are thousands of fish in your stomach." At this point, he wrote this poem, which is even more profound, pitying people and caring for birds and spreading good positive energy.
