Crying blood cuckoo nostalgicIn China culture, the Blood-Crying Cuckoo was an image full of sadness and sorrow, and it was often associated with nostalgia.
According to the legends, the soul of the ancient king of Shu, Du Yu, turned into a cuckoo bird after his death. He cried until blood dripped from his mouth. This tragic fate made him a symbol of sorrow. In classical poetry, the cuckoo's cry often triggered the poet's sadness, and this emotion was often related to nostalgia. For example, when a wanderer outside heard the cuckoo's cry,"It's better to go back, it's better to go back", it was easy to trigger homesickness and miss the time in his hometown. For example, Li Bai's poem," The willows fall and the cuckoos cry, and the dragon marks the five streams." The poet used the image of the cuckoo crying blood to convey the sadness of his friend's departure, or perhaps this sadness contained nostalgia for the past.
At the same time, the azalea was also given a variety of meanings in traditional China culture. It could symbolize the firmness of love. When people recalled their past love, seeing the azalea might trigger nostalgic emotions. It was also regarded as an auspicious item for birthday celebrations, which might make people miss the warm scenes of birthday celebrations for their elders.

The story of Du Que crying bloodThe Cuckoo Crying Blood originated from a legend. In ancient times, the King of Shu, Du Yu, loved the people deeply and attached great importance to production. He led the people to reclaim wasteland and grow grains, turning Shu into a land of abundance. Later, Du Yu abdicated his throne to Turtle Spirit and lived in seclusion in the West Mountain. After the turtle spirit became the king (Cong Di), it began to take credit for its achievements and act arbitrarily. Emperor Wang was anxious about this and wanted to persuade him.
There was another saying that Du Yu died of depression and anger after hearing the rumors about him having an affair with Turtle Spirit's wife. When he died, it was late spring. His soul turned into a cuckoo bird. The cuckoo bird kept chirping until blood dripped from its mouth. When it chirped, the azalea flowers instantly bloomed.
In ancient China poetry, cuckoos were often associated with sorrowful things, such as Li Bai's poem,"The willows have fallen and the cuckoos are singing. I heard the dragon passing through the five streams", and Wen Tianxiang's poem,"From now on, I will leave Jiangnan Road and turn into a cuckoo with blood." It has been regarded as a symbol of sorrowful birds and sorrows.
