When I was a teenager, in front of the library where I lived, there were bamboo and cypress flowers, full of flowers and nests on them. Wu Yangjun (2) evil killing, child servants, not allowed to catch birds. For several years, they have built their nests on low branches, from which they can see their wilting. There is also the fourth five-year plan of Tonghua Phoenix, during which the sun shines brightly. The feathers of this bird were rare before ⑤, but it can tame and disturb ⑤, and it is not afraid of people. I saw it in the middle of the road and felt different. Without him, I don't care about sincerity, I believe in otherness. There is an old saying: A bird nests too far away from people, and its children are disturbed by snakes, mice, foxes and kites. If people don't kill, they will get close to each other and want to avoid this. From this point of view, people are more afraid of approaching than snakes and mice. Tyranny is fiercer than a tiger, believe it!

In front of the library where I lived when I was a child, there were bamboos, cypresses and all kinds of flowers, which luxuriantly covered the yard and many birds built nests on it. Wu Yangjun (my mother) hates killing, and orders children and servants not to catch birds. In just a few years, birds have built nests on the low branches of flowers and trees, and young birds can lean over and look out. There are four or five other birds called Tung Wah Fung, which fly together in the flowers during the day. The feathers of this bird are extremely rare and precious, and they can be tamed and obeyed, and they are never afraid of people. The villagers met and regarded it as a strange thing. This is actually nothing, insincere, they trust different kinds. There is an old folk saying that the bird's nest is built too far away from people, and children will worry about being eaten by snakes, mice, foxes and kites. Since people don't kill birds, they naturally want to get close to people and avoid this disaster. Judging from this incident, the reason why birds dare not approach people in the future is that people's behavior is more cruel than that of livestock such as snakes and rats (to illustrate that the following "tyranny is fiercer than tigers" and the harsh and cruel criminal law is fiercer than tigers), and I believe that "tyranny is fiercer than tigers".

The whole story is about loving birds. The deep meaning lies in the word "benevolence", and at the end of the article, "tyranny is fiercer than tiger, believe it!" It embodies the essence of the word "benevolence". Human feelings are based on "benevolence", otherwise, the disaster it brings to society is incalculable. Therefore, Su Shi advocated "benevolence" to rule the world. "Hundreds of officials are numerous, and the four seas are wide, so that their joints are connected as one. Smell when you knock, and answer when you touch. Husband is a man who can create everything in the world. The nobility of the son of heaven and the lowliness of the gentry can make people love each other. Worry can make the same, and urgency can save. " From the philosophical thought of "benevolence" to the proposition of "benevolent government", it already belongs to the category of political thought.

This is an excellent allegorical essay. In the first paragraph, it is recorded that the author's mother "kills for her life" because she eats fast and does well, and prohibits the growth and reproduction of birds, so that many birds are close to people without being afraid of being caught, which actually plays a role in protecting birds. The second paragraph, "There is an old saying in the wild", expresses his hope that birds will be protected by human beings from raptors, and compares the imperial government to protect civilians from bad people. And take this opportunity to insinuate the reality of corruption in state affairs and the cruelty of officials to the people. For example, the sentence "tyranny is fiercer than tigers" is quoted at the end of the article, which makes the theme of the full text prominent and profound. The style of writing is smooth and natural, understated, and a few strokes outline the beautiful scenery of the courtyard. However, in the plain nature, it shows the magnificent momentum of "being fiercer than a tiger", which makes the article look different.
