動物中的中國文化

內(nèi)容概要

　　喜鵲叫，客人到”，這是流行于我國的一句俗語。在中國的許多地方，喜鵲被視一為報喜的鳥。清晨，當(dāng)你打開門，在陽光下、在晨風(fēng)里，如果碰見喜鵲在樹梢、屋頂蹦跳、歡叫，心情就會變得格外愉快。古時候，人們看見喜鵲在枝頭嗚叫，就會認為當(dāng)天必定會有喜訊：或是貴客臨門，或是這一天出門辦事會很順利。這是因為以前交通不發(fā)達，傳遞信息費時，又沒有其他的通訊方式，遠方客人突然到來，常常使人喜出望外。這種說法，又漸漸擴展至各種喜事來臨的征兆，是一種民俗的體現(xiàn)?！　∧敲?，喜鵲到底為什么會受到老百姓的喜愛呢？一是因為它體形靈巧，姿態(tài)優(yōu)美，叫聲響亮，喜歡以昆蟲為食物。另外，喜鵲還有感應(yīng)氣象變化的能力。還有非常重要的一點，就是喜鵲的名字中帶有“喜”字，所以，喜鵲一直被人們看成是報“喜”的吉鳥。古人不僅認為喜鵲是吉祥的預(yù)兆，而且認為鵲巢也可以避邪。
