On the eighth day after the Spring Festival, it is given a special meaning by the release ceremony of folklore.
People will send their little friends back to their home, the embrace of nature, and pray for good fortune.
This day is not only a celebration of the growth of all things, but also reflects people's good wishes for world peace and prosperity in the new year.
As the saying goes: "Business is not successful, but human affection is not broken." ”
Now that the trend of pet ownership is sweeping, some criminals have taken the opportunity to do shady things.
From Africa to the Amazon, they sell macaws, colorful birds and rare red arowana, causing damage to the natural environment.
We often see this kind of scene - someone has just released a fish in the upper reaches of the river, and there are people fishing downstream.
How to release the animals, release them in **, this has become a headache.
When releasing fish, you may encounter fishing nets and hooks; Releasing birds, I'm afraid they can't escape the nets and muzzles.
Moreover, most of the flowers, birds, fish and insects on the market are raised in captivity, and they no longer have the ability to survive in the wild.
Sometimes, therefore, the release may not be entirely well-intentioned, but rather unintentionally harmful.
On the eighth day of the first lunar month, everyone celebrates the so-called "Liberation Festival", hoping to get good luck by releasing living creatures, in which the tradition is to sprinkle carp into the river, hoping that they can "jump over the dragon gate", symbolizing that they can soar.
This ancient festival has been recorded in many ancient books and has been passed down for a long time.
Behind this custom is the desire to show respect for other living beings through their actions, to live in harmony with nature, and to accumulate good fortune for their families and future generations.
You may choose to release small fish at home, take them out into nature, or release birds and other aquatic animals such as frogs and snakes.
In the south, people love to release the snakehead fish, also known as the "fortune fish", with the auspicious meaning of making a fortune.
Of course, turtles and soft-shelled turtles, which symbolize longevity and peace, are also good choices for people to release.
There are all kinds of ways to release animals, and they are ridiculous.
Come and see the dream of the "flying turtle".
The first to bear the brunt is a big turtle with a dream of martial arts! It seems to fantasize that it can fly lightly. So, a good Samaritan put a mini parachute on it and threw it into the blue sky. Seeing it waving its little short legs in the air, as if enjoying the pleasure of flying, is both funny and somewhat sympathetic.
The "mixed city" of those little fish
Let's talk about the adventures of this group of small fish in "Tale of the Mixed City". On the edge of a park lake in the city, a group of small domestic fish were released into the lake. As a result, these guys didn't seem to like the noisy atmosphere of the city, so they swam back vigorously and jumped directly into the basket of the freers! The people around laughed, and at the same time, it also triggered us to think: release, do we have to find a suitable home for these little things?
The ducks' "urban adventure".
In the square of the city, a duck "urban adventure" was staged. These hillbilly ducklings, who are particularly uncomfortable in the hustle and bustle of the city, scurry through the crowd and are scared by the cars. Looking at their silly appearance, it makes people feel both ridiculous and a little distressed.
What is the better way to release the animals?
After talking about these releases, in fact, you have to be cautious about the release. Pick the animal, pick the place, pick the way, every step has to be thought through. You can't just release animals on a whim, or just let people go, because that will not be beneficial to the animals, and may even bring harm to the environment. You have to respect the habits of these little ones and find a place where they can settle down.
What should we reflect on?
In our modern society, we have to figure out how to live in harmony with animals and the environment. those with strong hands-on ability should reduce the purchase of wildlife products and care about animal protection activities; If you are sharp-tongued, you will participate in environmental protection volunteer activities. What we want is a good life where man and nature live in harmony.
Although the release on the eighth day of the first lunar month brings a lot of joy and laughter, we have to savor the deep meaning behind it and ponder it again and again. In this happy atmosphere, we should think about how to better protect animals and the environment in this modern society, and work together to create a harmonious home on earth!
