Swallow, as a bird living under the same roof as farmers, is recognized as an auspicious bird by farmers. When magpies lose their good reputation, swallows are still loved by farmers.
When I was a child, my girlfriend had a big bird's nest. I was envious at that time. I can see swallows flying around, busy, and then I will give birth to little swallows, which brings a lot of happiness to my sister's childhood that we can't have.
At that time, I heard the old man in the village say that swallows don't enter the bitter cold door, so I secretly inspected the difference between my girlfriend's home and my own. In fact, the difference is not very big, that is, my girlfriend's house is slightly higher and brighter than ours. The only big difference is that my best friend's father likes to grow flowers, and the flowers and plants at home occupy a yard.
When I grow up, I think swallows are not picking on the rich and the poor, but picking on the environment. In the past, all the houses in the countryside were places where swallows could choose to nest, so it was natural to pick and choose.
Under normal circumstances, tall and bright houses or eaves will be chosen by swallows, and such houses are basically owned by people with good family economy. Therefore, the swallow naturally chose a wealthy family.
Swallows don't like to enter the mourning door. The so-called worry about the door is that there is no happy atmosphere at home, and the family with two quarrels for three days is not liked by swallows. Swallows, like people, like a peaceful atmosphere. Therefore, those families that are overcast and often argue will not have swallows to nest.
It should be said that animals are spiritual things. Although they can't understand what people say, they can feel the happiness of a family through inspiration and are willing to be best friends with such a family.
That's bullshit! It's not that swallows don't enter the house of bitterness and cold, but that swallows don't enter the house without virtue and kindness. Swallows are very spiritual birds. They can tell who is a virtuous and kind-hearted friendly family and who is a hypocritical family that does evil.
When I was a child, my home was a quadrangle. Every spring, swallows always come to my house under the main eaves facing south to lay eggs and raise swallows. If you look closely, you will find that the swallows that come every year are all descendants of last year's swallows and belong to the same nest. Why did the swallow come to my house instead of the neighbor's? I asked my grandfather this question. My grandfather told me: Swallow is a bird with conscience and gratitude. If you treat it well, don't hurt it and protect it all the time, it will never give up and settle in your home to cultivate future generations. If you hurt it, it won't come to your house. Later, I finally knew the secret of the swallow coming to my house. Swallows like to nest under the eaves of old houses with south eaves, and it is on the top of the main entrance of this family. This is the problem. Swallows, too, bubble as soon as they land on the edge of the nest. They don't care if there is anyone under you, so many people "love cleanliness" and hate these hairy guys. Swallows want to build their nests under their own eaves, but they can't tear them down or drive them away.
In this way, the poor swallow has developed the ability to distinguish kindness from selfishness, truth from falsehood. Only in this way can there be one more Chun Yan in the house of truth and one more civet in the house of hypocrisy.
Speaking of which, have you found out why there are so few swallows in the city now? Is it because there are too many tall buildings for swallows to live in bungalows or something? I hope everyone can talk about it.

Swallow, a lucky bird that everyone likes.
I remember when I was a child, all the old houses in my hometown had beams and columns. In summer, lovely swallows fly around my roof, which is very lively.
The scene of swallows flying around the beam and the nest on the beam are the clearest memories of childhood.
In the summer vacation season, at noon, I was lying on the bamboo bed of the old house in the scorching sun. My two earplugs were full of cicadas. I looked up at the busy little swallow, looked at the lovely bird, caught the spring soil with my mouth, flew home, stopped on the roof beam, and quickly rested on the crossbeam at home. Watching, lying on the bamboo bed, I fell asleep sweetly. When I woke up beautifully, the little bird's nest was already intact on the roof beam.
Swallows are the most psychic. "Swallows fly high in sunny days and low in rainy days."
Hard-working, intelligent and kind people have many similarities with swallows, and naturally swallows yearn for clean and bright houses to build their nests.
In the past, swallows flew to ordinary homes before Wang Xie.
When I was a child, there were several swallow nests at home. Because of frequent defecation, my parents tied cardboard with rope and hung it under the swallow's nest, which is also a very common practice in our place. When we were young, we went to other people's houses to play. As soon as we saw such a similar "building", we knew that this family must be very kind, because the bad guys would destroy the swallow's nest and would not be so kind as to hang cardboard on the swallow.
I don't know why we seldom see swallows in recent years, but I was deeply impressed that almost every household in our village had bird's nest when I was a child, and some people even had several bird's nests at home. What is even more amazing is that when it is cold, they will fly to the south, and when it is hot, they actually fly back to live in that nest, although I don't know if they are still the swallow.
In fact, I think there is a big problem with the sentence "Swallows don't enter the bitter cold gate", because we are poor here, but there are still many swallows nesting here. I think it is more practical for swallows to fly into the homes of ordinary people. After all, many people have bird's nest at home, but they are not rich.
So is this statement right or wrong? I think it makes sense, but it should be more suitable for ancient times. Now it seems a little unreliable. Why do you say that?
In Lu Xun's article "Young Runtu", Runtu taught Lu Xun to catch birds in this way: "When it snowed in our sand, I swept a clearing, set up a big bamboo plaque with a short stick, planted seeds in the valley and watched the birds eat. When I pulled the rope tied to the stick far away, the bird was covered under the bamboo plaque. Everything: rice chicken, horn chicken, goose owl, blue back ... "
From Lu Xun's article, we can find that families with more food are more likely to attract birds, and so are swallows. Compared with poor families who can't even boil a pot, swallows obviously prefer large families with conditions to dry food in the yard. For such a big family, it is more convenient to stay in their home.
Since modern times, especially since the reform and opening up, our living standards have been getting better and better, and the people of the whole country have basically solved the problem of food and clothing. One thing is completely opposite to ancient times. In ancient times, large families had a lot of food, while poor families had nothing. In modern times, the rich have no food, but the poor have a lot of food.
"Seven or nine rivers open and eight or nine swallows come." It's already nine o'clock. It's time for the swallows to choose a suitable place to nest. Swallows say that birds are beneficial and people like them very much, which gives them many legends. It is said that swallows do not enter the "bitter cold door", but it is really not necessarily!
Children born in rural areas can probably understand that when we were young, we usually lived in adobe houses, but those adobe houses didn't have any gauze, the wooden doors were not tight, and the doors were open most of the time. Swallows like to build nests on beams. It's easy to get in and out
There is an old woman who lives alone in our village. Swallows go to her house to nest every year. Grandma is very nice, but her family is not very good, but she is very nice and can tolerate swallows coming in and out at ordinary times.
Nowadays, the doors of many rural houses with reinforced concrete buildings are closed, and even in summer, they are usually blocked with gauze. Swallows can't get into the door of the room, so they won't go in to nest. You see, even if the house is neither bitter nor cold, swallows can't get in, so naturally they won't go there to nest.
Swallows usually choose a safer place to nest, that is, safer than them. There are eaves or beams that shelter from the wind and rain, which are relatively high and are not easily disturbed by people. In addition, it is convenient to enter and exit.
Swallows build nests for personal survival. It has nothing to do with wealth.
In the past, people thought that swallows liked to nest in rich families, probably because the beams of those families were higher and the conditions were better than those of the poor's low, leaky houses!
In fact, having a bird's nest at home is also very distressing. Swallow droppings will inevitably pollute the home, but swallows are beneficial birds, which farmers like and can't bear to hurt. There are swallows nesting in the house. It is true that the owner of this house is usually a kind person.
Some people say that swallows don't enter the bitter cold gate.
This sentence is false, false, false, and the important thing is said three times.
They just like spacious eaves, preferably balconies, and they are not rich.
Our village is poor enough. When I was a child, I remember that there was always a swallow nest under the eaves of my cousin's balcony. But in fact, his family is also very poor. My cousin was only a teenager when my aunt died. Later, he had a daughter-in-law, and they were poor when they had children, because no one helped them and everything was on their own.
My uncle's family is also very poor, which can be said to be a poor household, but I didn't get any subsidies, because the subsidies were given to people with connections. There is also a swallow nest under their eaves.
By contrast, those rich people didn't see it under the eaves.
First of all, swallows can't tell the rich from the poor. Swallows used to nest at home in my family, but my family was not rich at that time, or even poor. However, there is a saying in the countryside that swallows nest at home, and their luck at home will get better, so there is a saying that swallows don't enter the "bitter cold door".
Furthermore, there is a saying in our country that swallows like to go into a clean house. I'm not sure if this is true, but the arrival of swallows really makes people like it. I remember at the beginning, a pair of swallows flew around my hall from time to time. Soon after, I found more and more dirt on the lights in the hall. Until a mud nest is built. I'm afraid the mud will crush the lamp. After a while, I found that the swallow's parents gave birth to a little swallow, because they heard the birds and because the swallow's nest was quite high, they couldn't see the eggs. Later, I will often see swallows come back with something in their mouths, which should be for the little swallows. You can't see the head of the swallow below until the swallow is bigger. Swallows will learn to fly. Many times, it fell after a few steps, and we took it to the nest with a wooden ladder. After a while, the swallow can fly, and then the swallow's parents take the swallow around the house several times. Then they all left.
Once, a pair of birds, I don't know what it is, came to my house. They're cute. I haven't found their nest before, until once my parents stayed with me for a long time and kept chattering at me and refused to leave. In the afternoon, I found a nest on the electricity meter in front of my house. I understand something, but this time is also my most painful one. A few days later, the birds hatched. I saw their little heads were yellow and very cute. When they were learning to fly, they were caught and eaten by the cat at home. I hated that cat so much that I fell down and was eaten. I can't save it at all. I sent them up several times to lock up the cats, but none of them were saved. Later, there were no birds, but the birds refused to leave. When they see the cat go out, they will peck the cat. I watched it several times.
But once I didn't see it, my heart ached once. After many days, the birds refused to leave. I wrote this sentence on qq signature, and I don't understand what is missing. Actually, I understand, but I just understand, so it's difficult.
This statement makes no sense at all. When I was a child, in my hometown, basically every household had bird's nest on the beams. Our villages are basically in the mountains, and most of them are relatively poor.
Even in our stockade, there are more than 50 families, and there are four or five poor families, but they have swallows every year, and there are several nests of swallows on a beam.
My aunt's family is poor because the family conditions are not very good. My two sons are not married in their thirties, but there are two bird's nests on the main beam of their main house (wooden house), which are available every year and have never been broken. Can it be said that swallows don't enter the "bitter cold gate"? So this statement is unreasonable.
Then, why don't some swallows go to the "bitter cold gate" to talk about it? The reason is that the nest is made of mud and must be supported under a solid roof. In ancient times, only large families had roofs, and poor families were generally thatched huts, so the phrase "Lao Wang Xie Tang swallowed before" came into being, which showed that ancient people thought that only rich families would have swallows to live in. But this does not mean that the swallow is too poor to love the rich, nor does it mean that the swallow has no ability to distinguish, but that other people's homes have roofs.
In fact, the saying that swallows can distinguish between "poor people" and "rich people" should be said casually by farmers who like swallows with their own experiences. In fact, there is not much evidence to speak of.
In my hometown, my brother nailed a board to the roof outside the ear door where my sister-in-law lived for many years (see photo). More than 20 years ago, because my nieces and nephews especially like swallows, it is convenient to attract swallows to nest and lay eggs and hatch swallows. Sure enough, the next year, a pair of swallows arrived as scheduled. They made a nest on the board with the thin mud in their mouths, which attracted the special happiness and joy of the family, and gave more care and harmony to the swallow's nest and its life. In this way, year after year, the swallow flew away, and the next year came as scheduled, which lasted for more than 20 years. Last year, in April and May, I was also in my hometown. I saw swallows fly in to check the old nest in the original site, and then it took ten days to repair it, and successfully hatched a nest of small swallows, which was completed before my eyes from beginning to end.
According to my observation, swallows like places and people with good light, and there should be wires near their nests for them to rest. Secondly, the location where the animals fed by farmers, such as kittens, cannot be disturbed is related to the environment around the bird's nest and has little to do with the so-called "bitter and cold family". Third, and most importantly, when swallows choose farms to build nests, they should have a kind heart to care for small animals and form a small environment where people live in harmony with nature and small animals.
