The old man in the countryside said that there are three elephants at home, and there are many talented people in the family. What do these three kinds of happiness mean?

First of all, we should know that the technology in rural areas is not very developed, especially in the previous society. The high-tech products they almost came into contact with may be televisions, so they spend most of their time in contact with animals, so they also have a lot of reverie and things related to animals. For example, crows often fly by, and they will think that this day is very difficult, because crows represent some unlucky things in the countryside. Similarly, the rural elderly say that the three major aspects of the family are as follows.

1, swallows build nests

First, swallows nest under the eaves. Rural people think that swallows are a symbol of happy events. If swallows come to nest under their eaves, they will think that the days will get better and better, because if you look carefully, I make more and more swallows, which symbolizes that the life of rural people is getting better and better, there are more and more houses and more people. Swallows can also eat nearby pests, such as flies and mosquitoes.

2. The local dog entered the door.

As long as we observe carefully, every family in rural areas doesn't keep dogs, because rural areas think dogs are loyal subjects and cats are traitors, so if dogs enter the door in daily life, they will think it is a symbol of good luck, because it indicates that there will be more loyal subjects in the family, which is a very good happy event, and their attitude towards local dogs is also very friendly. The future is getting better and better. Every time I see a local dog, I will try my best to be a local dog.

3. Magpie flies to the branch

In addition, rural people think that magpie is also a very auspicious bird. If she stays on the branch near her home for a long time and keeps singing, then rural people will think it is a very auspicious symbol, that is to say, the magpie has brought them good news, and then they will be very happy and think that something good will happen in their home.
