Bai Juyi's poem Birds

Birds is the representative work of Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The detailed discussion is as follows:

1, this poem first puts forward the poet's own views with a rhetorical question, then points out that birds have the same flesh and blood as people, and finally puts forward the exhortation that human beings should be kind to animals, and touches people's hearts with the touching scene of "children expect their mothers to come back".

2, the original text: gregarious, small life, generally flesh and blood are generally skin. I advise you not to pat a bird. My son will be in the nest waiting for his mother to come back. The language of this poem is simple and natural. It warns readers to be kind to animals through the natural phenomenon of "children look forward to their mothers" with true feelings, and warns powerful people to respect civilians by comparing birds with people.

3. The poem "Who is the youngest who is the eldest" emphasizes the equality of all beings, whether human or animal, has its own life and dignity. "Skin of the Same Blood" further emphasizes the close relationship between human beings and animals. We are all flesh and blood and have similar life experiences.

4. The poet expressed his awe of life and respect for nature through the touching scene of "the son is looking forward to his mother's return". This scene not only depicts the picture of a bird waiting for its mother's return in its nest, but also contains the responsibility and obligation of human beings to life. We should not harm animals, let alone destroy the ecological balance, but should respect every life and protect their living environment.

At the same time, this poem is also a satire and criticism of powerful people. In ancient society, powerful people often ignored the rights and interests of civilians and the value of life, and Bai Juyi appealed to people to pay attention to the rights and interests of animals through this poem, and then appealed to people to pay attention to the dignity and equality of all life. This is also a criticism and reflection on the social hierarchy at that time.
