What does magpie mean?

1. Magpie has been a popular bird since ancient times. It is a symbol of good luck and happiness.

2. Because the ancients believed that magpies, whether they were singing or singing, whether they were happy or sad, whether they were on the ground or on the branches, whether they were young or decadent, whether they were dying or newborn, would always make the same tone. In the eyes of Confucianism, sages and gentlemen should behave like magpies in a constant, stable, clear, firm and consistent manner. Therefore, Confucianism often requires people to learn from magpies and regard magpies as some kind of template for sages.

3. The sound of magpie also symbolizes beautiful meaning. Magpie's voice is "Haw, Haw", which means "Happy to go home, happy to go home", so magpie is an auspicious symbol among the people in China. The painter's picture of a magpie climbing a branch shows a person climbing up and a family moving forward.

Of course, the most beautiful legend is the "Queqiao Club". Because of this legend, the Milky Way is also called "Que River", and China's "Valentine's Day" is also scheduled for the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. On this day, the Weaver Girl crossed the Milky Way to meet the Cowherd, and the magpies contributed their feathers and bodies to fill the river into a bridge. That after this day, many magpies are bare.

In addition, there are many works about magpies in ancient calligraphy and painting, all of which symbolize good luck and happy events. For example, two magpies called "Welcome" face to face; Double magpies add an ancient coin called "happiness is in sight"; A badger and a magpie looked at each other under the tree and shouted "Happy". The most popular picture is the picture of a magpie climbing a plum branch to report good news, which is also called "beaming"
