The ancients believed that there are four great joys and four great sorrows in life, and it mentioned that young people have no good teachers, that is, they lack the help of nobles. In the journey of life, if you can meet noble people, you will be able to reduce many difficulties and be more likely to achieve success. There is a saying among the people, that is, "when the three birds enter the door, they will come out of the nobles". This means that when a specific three types of birds fly into the house, it indicates that there will be a noble person in the family, and good luck and good fortune will be ushered in. So, what are these three types of birds? Let's take a look together.
The first bird is the phoenix, a sacred bird. The phoenix is a sacred bird in traditional Chinese culture that symbolizes auspiciousness, nobility and happiness. When a phoenix flies into the house, it is considered an extremely auspicious sign, indicating that the family will usher in good luck and noble people. The appearance of the phoenix also symbolizes the noble character of the family members and the harmonious fortune of the family.
The phoenix has a legend in ancient times, that is, it only inhabits on the plane tree, "the phoenix does not live on the sycamore, and the golden toad does not live on the land of wealth". Therefore, the ancients liked to plant plane trees in their yards, hoping to attract the arrival of the phoenix. Of course, the phoenix flying into the house here does not mean that the real phoenix flies into the home, but that the decoration of the phoenix can be used in the home, such as the carved phoenix or the painted phoenix pattern. It also means a beautiful vision. A few decades ago, many homes had phoenix motifs on washbasins, bedding and bed sheets, and ancient buildings also had phoenix motifs, all in pursuit of good luck.
The second type of bird is the magpie. The magpie is different from the phoenix in that it is a real-life bird and one of the auspicious birds in traditional Chinese culture. When a magpie calls in front of a house, it is seen as a good omen and a sign that a happy event is about to happen. Folks often say that "magpies chirp, good things are coming", and it is believed that the magpie calling at the door of the house is an auspicious sign. It would be even better if the magpie built its nest on the doorstep. Because the magpie is believed to be a spiritual bird, the appearance of the magpie indicates that the family members will have a prosperous career and wealth, and it also means that there will be noble people to help and make the family fortune more prosperous.
The third type of bird is the swallow. Swallows are also believed to be one of the birds that can bring good luck and good luck. When a swallow builds a nest and settles in a home, it symbolizes family harmony and happiness. When I was a child, my parents used to tell us, "Swallows don't enter the poor house", which means that if swallows nest at home, it will bring good luck to the family and life will be more prosperous. At the same time, it is also believed that the appearance of the swallow indicates the health and longevity of the family members, and also indicates that there will be noble people to help and make the family fortune prosperous.
In addition to the three types of birds mentioned above, there are other birds that are believed to bring good luck and good luck, such as parrots, pigeons, peacocks, etc. Beliefs and symbolism of birds vary from region to region and nation, but in general, birds play an important role in folk beliefs. It is believed that the bird represents the aura of heaven and earth and the incarnation of the gods, which can bring good luck and good fortune. When the bird flies into the house, it means that good luck and auspiciousness will come to the family, and at the same time, it will also attract the attention and help of the nobles, making the family fortune more prosperous.
The association of birds with family fortunes is mainly based on folk beliefs and cultural traditions. Although these beliefs may have no basis in science, in any case, they have been circulated among the people for thousands of years and have had a certain impact on people's psychology and emotions. When people hear birds calling or flying into their homes, they always feel joy and hope, believing that good luck and good luck are coming. Therefore, we should take these birds as a good omen, be grateful and reverent, and pray for good luck and good fortune for our families. At the same time, we should also make efforts and struggles to create a better future.
