In ancient times, crows had many meanings. In ancient times, the image of the crow was integrated with the image of the sun. The sun was called the Golden Crow. At this time, the crow had the meaning of good news, gratitude, and loyalty. Before the Tang Dynasty, crows were divine birds with auspicious and prophetic functions. They were regarded as representatives of auspicious signs and were said to be good news. The ancients believed that crows had the physiological characteristic of feeding back. Young crows would feed old crows mouth to mouth in return for their upbringing. Therefore, crows were regarded as the representative of "filial piety". Children serving their parents were called "Wu Fu". It was also vigorously promoted as a teaching material for supporting parents. In the Han Dynasty literature, crows turned into three legs. The mythical three-legged crow was regarded as an auspicious omen. For example, the coffin lid of the tomb of Xin Zhuizhi, the marquis of the early Western Han Dynasty, unearthed at Mawangdui in Changsha had the image of a crow standing in the sun. In the holy land of Taoism, Mount Wudang, crows were also considered divine birds. However, with the misinterpretation of its image in secular culture, crows gradually became a metaphor for ominous birds in traditional culture. In traditional poems and sentences, it was fixed in a lonely image, and in traditional paintings, it was solidified into the image of jackdaw, full of sorrow and bitterness. It was often superimposed with images such as dead wood and twilight to interpret complex and subtle emotions and reveal sadness. "The Crow's Testimony" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to read it!
