Pigeons are a very common creature in life, and we often see people who have pigeons releasing pigeons. And this "release of pigeons" now has a new meaning. If we are no-show by someone, we usually say "pigeon release".

We all know that in ancient times, communication and transportation equipment were not so developed, and if you want to carry a letter, it is not like now, it can be done in a few seconds. It's good that it's close, but if the two sides are too far apart, it will take at least a few months to get there. In order to make it easier and faster to transmit messages, the ancients created the "flying pigeon to pass the book" as a way to transmit messages.

This is because pigeons have a unique ability to remember their way and find their home. Even if they fly far away, they can find their nest exactly where they are. "Releasing pigeons" does not refer to a missed appointment at the beginning, but refers to the ** of male and female partners.

1. Beijing people often raise some pigeons, and occasionally release pigeons to relieve boredom. But some people specialize in catching pigeons that have been released by others, resulting in the pigeon being released and never returning. Absorbing the painful experience of the old Beijingers, so there is the meaning of "releasing pigeons" is to break the contract.

Originated from the act of abducting pigeons. In order to abduct other people's precious pigeons, some people specially cultivate a kind of "lure pigeons". When others release pigeons, he will put the "lure pigeons" into other people's pigeon flocks, through the lure of pigeons can make other pigeons disoriented, so that they follow the pigeons to the other camp, so as to achieve the purpose of stealing pigeons.

A kind of lottery originated in old Shanghai - "white pigeon ticket". Most of the time this lottery is a go-and-go.

4. There is also a saying that in ancient times, when the "flying pigeon passed the book", some people only released the pigeon, but did not believe it. So the receiver complained about why he only released the pigeons to me and did not give me letters, and did not keep his promise。Therefore, the meaning of "missing the appointment" of "releasing pigeons" also came out in this way.

Pigeon, refers to a type of bird. Pigeons are kept for release or racing. The dove is a symbol of peace.

Pigeons have been associated with humans for a long time. The first paintings found by archaeologists show that the ancient inhabitants of the Mediterranean region had regarded pigeons as important poultry as early as 10,000 years ago. In the minds of the Chinese, the pigeon is second only to the chicken.

The pigeon is the messenger of peace, the pigeon is a symbol of friendship, the pigeon is the horn of unity, the pigeon is a token of love, the pigeon is the representative of holiness, and in the minds of people, the pigeon has become a symbol of peace, friendship, unity and holiness. The pigeons have a great memory, but they don't fly very far. Pigeons are good flyers and do not need auxiliary equipment such as blowers and gliders to hover in the air for long periods of time.

These skills of pigeons make them an indispensable ornamental animal in squares and roads, and also make them the most commonly used means of communication.

"Release the pigeons" now means:

The pigeon has a special ability to fly back to its nest exactly where it is. People took advantage of this characteristic of the pigeon and used it as a means of communication. Take the pigeon out with you, and if you have something important to contact your family urgently, tie the letter to the pigeon and let it fly home alone to complete the task.

The pigeon first refers to the male and female partners of the ** (some even husband and wife), pretending to marry the woman to a single, a few days after the marriage, the woman suddenly disappeared, so that the single and the money are empty. The female ones are called pigeons. Now it generally refers to deliberately setting a trap to deceive people, and after the deceived person fulfills his promise, he does not fulfill his promise, and he can't be found.

Now the popular meaning is: Party A made an appointment with Party B, Party B agreed, and later Party B broke the contract, then Party A was "released pigeons". That is, the party who kept the covenant was "released the pigeon".

1. The pigeon is a metaphor for credit, that is, if I don't come on time, I won't keep my promise, and if I don't keep my promise, I will release the pigeon.

2. Ancient people's letters were transmitted by pigeons, and over time, pigeons were called "carrier pigeons", and the pigeons could not be passed on when they were released, so they were referred to as "dishonesty", and now "releasing pigeons" is also the meaning of dishonesty.

Because we all call the missed appointment "release the pigeons."
