Jingwei, whose real name is a girl, is a bird name in ancient myths and legends of China, which comes from the scenery of mountains, seas and mountains, and is said to be the youngest daughter of Emperor Yan. She drowned while sailing in the East China Sea, and her sad fairy bird vowed to fill the East China Sea with grass and stones. Later, it is often used to describe the natural revenge psychology of human beings, or the spirit of perseverance and eternal struggle despite difficulties.
The story of jingwei
Legend has it that Emperor Yan had a daughter named Doll. The doll is very clever and beautiful, naughty and lovely, and it is the apple of Emperor Yan's eye.
One day, the doll sailed to the East China Sea alone while Emperor Yan was away. Suddenly, a strong wind blew on the sea, the waves rolled, the boat capsized, and the doll was swallowed up by the ruthless sea. After her death, her soul became a bird with a white mouth and red claws. As it flies, it makes a whine of Jingwei and Jingwei, so this bird is called Jingwei.
Jingwei was killed by the sea, so she decided to fill it up. From then on, Jingwei transported stones and sticks from Xishan day and night and threw them into the East China Sea. But the stones and sticks were washed away the moment the water came in. Not discouraged, Jingwei still travels between the East China Sea and the Western Hills day and night.
The rushing sea laughed at her and said, "You really bite off more than you can chew. Only one of your birds wants to fill me in?" Jingwei said firmly: "Even if it takes thousands or tens of thousands of years, I will not give up until I die." The sea asked again, "Why do you hate me so much?"
"Because you took my life and other people's lives, I will fill you in the ground." After that, Jingwei continued to reclaim the sea. Jingwei flies around for years without stopping. Haiyan was moved by Jingwei's behavior and married Jingwei. The birds they gave birth to, like their mothers, went to the western hills to get stones and fill the sea.
