"You don't have to cut off the red crown on your head, but you will walk in the future in white." This is the action and way of writing a rooster. Wearing a natural red crown that does not need to be cut, the whole body is white, and I am coming face to face with great interest. The poet uses the contrast of description and color to outline a big cock with red crown and white feather, which is majestic and majestic. The "red crown on the head" in the first sentence describes the red crown on the cock's head.

The poet's imitation of a rooster reveals its psychological state of being afraid to speak easily in life. When it crows, it means the dawn. When the bell rings, every family should open the door to welcome the new day. "Stand tall and dare not speak out of turn", the poet's poetic path turns sharply, saying that roosters dare not crow casually all their lives. This sentence is restrained and low-key, especially the word "dare not", which is used properly, paving the way for the conclusion of the fourth sentence and has a comparative effect on the next sentence. The last two sentences use anthropomorphic techniques to write the scene of the rooster breaking dawn in the morning. The combination of dynamic and static and the use of poetic artistic techniques make the two sentences contrast strongly, establish the image of rooster and show the virtue and authority of rooster.
