1, thrush
Song Dynasty: Ouyang Xiu
The cries of thousands of birds echo their own hearts, and thousands of purple flowers on the mountain are on the height of trees.
Only then did I understand that listening to the cry of the thrush locked in a golden cage is far less than singing leisurely in the forest.
Translation:
When I came to the Woods, I saw blackbirds flying freely on the branches full of red, purple and purple mountain flowers, and heard them singing happily with their hearts on the high and low treetops. I can't help feeling that if they are locked up, even if they are locked in golden cages, they can't sing such beautiful songs. Because freedom is the premise of a happy life. Birds are like this, aren't people like this?

This article expresses its spirit by chanting thrush. The title of the poem is "A County Zhai Bai Wen Tongue". Thrush and tongue are euphemistic songbirds. The poet also wrote in the poem "Birds Singing" that "it's beautiful to sleep in the south window, and the tongue doesn't dawn to urge the morning. The oriole is lovely in color and dumb as a baby. " It can be seen that his appreciation of "singing in the forest" is comparable to that of "locked in a golden cage", which shows the poet's psychology of breaking free from fetters and yearning for freedom. The poet used to be an official in the DPRK, but later he was implicated in the party struggle and was demoted to know the prefecture and magistrate. These two sentences are probably suppressed.
