Hongyan is coming; The mysterious bird returns; Birds bring shame. What do you mean?

Hongyan comes: birds fly from north to south. The big one says "Hong" and the small one says "Yan".

The mysterious bird is back: swallows and other migratory birds fly south to avoid the cold.

A flock of birds breeds shame: one hundred birds begin to store dried fruits and grains for winter.

This is the third time for the egret to wait: once for the arrival of the swan; Second, wait for the bird to return; A flock of birds breeds shame. It is said that the swan goose comes on the day of the Millennium, the mysterious bird returns on the fifth day, and the bird is ashamed on the fifth day. That is to say, every five days is a waiting period, and the Millennium time is from September 7 to 9 in the solar calendar every year, so adding five days to this time can calculate the respective times of the three waiting periods in the Millennium.
