    Swallows are good friends of human beings Every year during the Spring Festival, the north is when the swallows come back. Moreover, the old saying of swallows is still circulating. There is a saying that you can't enter the Chinese written by Yanzi.

    That is, swallows do not nest in poor homes. Why don't swallows go into poor homes, experts say that this is not superstition, but has a scientific basis. The swallow is an animal that actually can't tell the difference between the wealth of a poor family.

    Why not go into the homes of poor people to build their nests, because the nesting of swallows also depends on the structure of the home. Swallows make their nests out of mud and grass branches. In ancient times, some poor people's houses were built with thatched huts, and when it rained, it was very humid, and the swallows' nests were also affected, so the swallows were reluctant to settle in such houses.

    Of course, you can go to a house with a better structure to protect the nest they built from harm.

    These people are generally wealthy, so it can be said that Swallow does not enter the unpopular. Swallows usually prefer to nest in quieter places and do not like to be disturbed by others. Because they have to hatch swallows after nesting, and they also have to raise them.

    Experts said that the requirements for the environment are relatively high, some people with poor living conditions are constantly at home, often noisy, people with better conditions are general, swallows are more particular about nesting, all use mud, and the quality of mud directly determines the quality of the bird's nest. The nest is the most important place for birds to survive, and we will do our best to make the nest a good one. However, in ancient China, peasants' families were generally poor and lived in thatched huts.

    Whenever it rains, the nest becomes very humid as a result. This means that there is something in question about their survival.

    Why didn't the swallow go into the poor house? Experts tell the truth, it's really not superstition! Gradually, they didn't want to put their home in this place either.

    With the accumulation of experience, I also began to choose a ventilated and dry place. Most of these people are not poor, so this proverb was born. I wonder if you guys know now?

    In fact, this sentence still has a certain scientific basis in ancient times, which has a lot to do with the choice of their nesting. In ancient times, there was a large gap between the rich and the poor, and in ancient times, there were more thatched houses, and the people who lived in thatched houses were poor, and it would be more humid when it rained. In addition, swallows use mud to build their nests, and if they are very wet, the nest made of mud will be unstable, and it may even fall, so the birds in the nest will be in danger of their lives.

    There is no scientific basis, because the swallow's understanding of things is very vague, so there is no scientific basis.

    There is indeed a certain scientific basis, because in poor families, there is no way to create an environment for swallows to live.

    Many people have heard the saying that swallows do not enter the bitter cold door. Swallows will choose a place with a longer eaves and a higher house, because this is conducive to their nesting and can also play a role in sheltering from the wind and rain. At the same time, in the spring, the swallows fly back from the south, and they build their nests to nurture the next generation.

    Swallows will also pay attention to the surrounding environment, if it is a high-rise household, so that the environment will be relatively quiet, will not disturb their normal life, but if it is some poor places, it will be particularly noisy. They also pay great attention to the conditions of survival, so they will also test in advance, and will choose a residence that is more conducive to production and fertility. In the process of giving birth, you need to live in a more comfortable place, and if you have more money, you can meet the requirements of the swallow.

    At the same time, swallows also need to consider the quality of the house, because in ancient times, if it was some relatively poor family houses, most of them were built of thatch, so it was very likely to fall down when building a nest. <>

    Although when this proverb is heard, many people welcome swallows to their homes. However, by observing the living environment of swallows, it can be found that the probability that they live in the wild and on cliffs is very high, so they are not an animal that hates the poor and loves the rich, this is just a statement. When building a nest, swallows prefer to choose wooden or calcareous shelters, which can meet their basic needs.

    As for the swallows, they prefer to stay in the countryside. At the same time, the living conditions have changed a lot compared to before, so with the survival experience of swallows, they have no way to distinguish the family situation. You can't rely on the swallow to come to your home to prove that your family is relatively rich.

    They take all aspects into account and prepare them for the next generation.

    The reason why the swallow does not enter the bitter cold door is that the houses of the poor people are relatively short, and the eaves will naturally be shorter, so they cannot play the role of shelter from the wind and rain. The reason why swallows like to go to the homes of rich and noble people is because of environmental factors, high-ranking families have good family style, and the environment is quiet and quiet.

    The swallow itself does not have the psychology of disliking the poor and loving the rich, and does not deliberately please the rich or hate the poor. They choose to build their nests in ** because of the swallow's own instinct. Not only do they have to choose a place where they can build their nests in the wind and rain, but they also need to be able to give birth to the next generation safely and securely, and they will come back to move in the next spring.

    In the past, the houses of poor families in rural areas were thatched houses, most of which were low, damp, and opaque, and could not shelter the wind or rain on rainy days, and the nests built could not guarantee that they could live next year. The house of the rich family is built tall and strong, spacious and bright, and the reason why the swallow chooses the house of the rich family to build its nest is because it is strong and can continue to live next spring.

    According to the above two conditions, the swallows conduct a primary selection of the nesting site, and fly in and out of the primary site many times to observe the attitude of the homeowner towards the arrival of the swallows. Once the owner behaves unwelcomely, the swallows will not nest there. Once the nesting site is determined, the swallows return on time every spring, unless there is an unwelcome move from the homeowner.

    said"Swallows don't enter the bitter cold door"It's unscientific, swallows don't understand humans"Hate the poor and love the rich", which is a misunderstanding of swallows by humans. Thatched houses are easy to leak, easy to catch fire, easy to be damaged, and thatched houses are low, and it is not safe for people to reach them, so swallows do not enter the cold door.

    There is also a kind of Qiao Yan, in the outdoor front eaves under the nest, because there is no Qi Zi can be dragged below, the difficulty of the nest is much greater than the difficulty of the indoor Qi Zi can be used, the general swallow can not do, so it is called "Qiao Yan". Later, the conditions were good, the brick structure house was built, there was a shed indoors, and the swallows were separated by the sheds, and the swallows could not build nests, although they were better than the previous days, the swallows did not come. The conditions of the bitter cold house must not be very good.

    Their houses are generally low and low. It's not very sturdy yet. If you are exposed to wind and rain.

    There is also the danger of houses collapsing. If swallows make nests under such eaves. It would be very unsafe.

    So the swallows will generally be earlier. The house is tall. Make a nest under the sturdy eaves.

    As a result, there was a scene where the swallows did not enter the bitter cold gate.

    It still makes sense. If the eaves are built well, and their nests will not be affected, then it means that the family is rich, but if their nest is broken, then it means that the family is poor.

    Of course, it makes sense, swallows will be more cautious in nesting, first observe the surrounding situation, choose a house that is relatively clean and bright, and will also take into account safety.

    This does make sense, because when swallows build their nests, they will choose to build under the eaves of some wealthy people, because some people's eaves are stronger and wider, so according to the swallows' observations, they will choose those large families to build their nests under the eaves; They are mainly distinguished by the difference in the houses in which the poor and the rich live.

    There is such a reason, and many swallows do not live in poor people's homes. Swallows are identified by how safe the eaves are.

    It makes sense that the houses of poor families are not strong, and the swallows will certainly not build nests in this place.

    There is some truth in the rural saying "swallows don't enter the bitter cold door", but in fact, swallows do not have the ability to distinguish between the poor and the rich, they are just ordinary birds. The main reason for this saying is that swallows also want their homes to be strong, at least not leaking.

    There is a saying in the countryside that roughly means that swallows do not go to poor homes to build nests, they like to go to rich houses to build nests. Some people even exaggerate that swallows can distinguish between the poor and the rich, but in fact it is not, it is just an ordinary bird. We have also seen swallow nests under the eaves of some families with poor conditions, which shows that this statement is unreliable.

    There is a reason for this strange phenomenon.

    In the past, swallows would choose some places with better houses to build their nests, because there would be no rain leakage. Because the old houses in the countryside in the past were basically some thatched houses, and the roofs were covered with straw, which was very simple. Especially in some poor families, most of the houses are like this.

    Basically, only some people with decent family conditions can afford to build a stronger wooden house. Swallows will choose a place to build their nests, and they are also particular, they generally choose some houses of wealthy families, because such houses are stronger and will not leak rain. Moreover, the swallow's nest is made of mud, and once it leaks, it will collapse, and the eggs inside the swallow's nest will fall.

    Therefore, for safety, they will choose a sturdier house. In the eyes of many farmers, it has become that the swallow dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and only chooses the rich and does not choose the poor. In fact, the swallow simply does not have the ability to distinguish between the poor and the rich.

    Now, people's living conditions are better, and basically every household no longer lives in thatched huts that leak rain. Therefore, there is no distinction between the poor and the rich when the swallows are looking for nesting sites. As long as the house is sturdy, they will choose this place.

    There is some truth in the rural saying that "swallows don't enter the bitter cold door", because swallows prefer to make nests under the eaves, and the eaves of the poor may be relatively short, and they are particularly fragile, and there is no way to shelter the swallows from the wind and rain. The eaves of the rich are very strong and wide, and the swallows will live comfortably after making their nests, and will not be caught by the rain. Swallows may judge the poor and the rich by the width of the eaves, and it can also be seen that the swallows are very intelligent.

    Many sayings are not unreasonable, and if you think about it, maybe this is a manifestation of the wisdom of rural people. For example, swallows in rural areas are very common, and swallows are also a very cute bird, and the bird's nest that people eat is actually a nest made of swallows, which contains silk and saliva spit out by swallows. And whether the swallow is inspected more often when making a nest, for example, whether the location of the house is good, if the location is not good, it will be very cold in winter, and it will be very hot in summer.

    Especially when incubating eggs, the swallows are more careful when choosing the nest place, so as not to let the hatched swallows suffer from harm.

    Through a series of observations, the swallow will feel that this place is the sun of the season, and there is a lot of food around, and the swallow will choose to build its own nest in this place. And this house may be the house of the rich, because the rich man may occupy the best plot of land in the village, surrounded by vegetable fields or orchards, so that there are many small insects, so that the swallows can easily find food. For swallows, this is a very good place to live, and these little animals will live here for a long time.

    When the little swallow can fly away, the old swallow will go somewhere else, but when the eggs are hatched the next year, the little swallow will come back.

    In any case, the swallow is just an animal, and does not look at the dou and the rich with colored glasses, they are just relying on their own intuition to choose the best place to make a nest.

    It doesn't make sense, but it's mainly because swallows will find a solid and solid place with food reserves when they build their nests, and such conditions distinguish between rich and poor families from the side.

    There is an old saying in the countryside that "swallows do not fall into the door of bitter cold", do swallows hate the poor and love the rich? I believe that many people know swallows, in the textbooks of primary school I heard a saying "swallows fly low snake aisle, heavy rain will come soon", swallows are a kind of beneficial birds, it can catch some pests in agricultural production, can make crops grow better, and is known as a crop doctor. I remember when I was a child, there were children in the village to catch swallows, they would inevitably be beaten by the family, "swallows do not fall into the door of bitter cold", the meaning of this saying is very simple, legend has it that when swallows build their nests, they will not choose some particularly poor families, so is this the case?

    In ancient times, swallows were called "clumsy swallows", "Guanyin swallows" or "spring birds", from ancient times to the present, swallows have enjoyed a relatively high status, and they will be courteous when they go to people's homes, and unlike sparrows, people will drive and catch. From an ancient poem, I learned that "in the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people", but the swallows who only stayed in the house of Wang Sun Guizhou chose to go to an ordinary people's house, just because of the decline of the aristocracy? In fact, the swallow will not distinguish which family is poor or rich, it will only choose its own nest in a clean and neat place where it can live for a long time, of course, some people say that the swallow can see how the future development of the family is, and some people say that the arrival of the swallow indicates that the family can add wealth.

    In any case, there is no doubt that swallows are beneficial birds, we must protect them, if there are swallows to build a nest, do not drive them away, they are always life, and they always need our care. Swallows do not distinguish between rich and poor, it will only choose the right place, if your house is suitable for the location of the swallow, there will be swallows, on the contrary, there will definitely be no swallows, "swallows do not fall into the bitter cold home", what do you think of this saying?

    That's all for me, thank you!
