Magpie is a kind of bird loved by people since ancient times. It is a symbol of good luck and a symbol of happiness. In the eyes of Confucianism, sages and gentlemen are like magpies. They have perseverance, determination, clarity, perseverance and consistency. Because the ancients believed that the magpie would always make a beautiful sound, no matter whether it sang happily or sadly, whether it was on the ground or on the branches, whether it was old or young, and its cry also symbolized a beautiful meaning.

喜鵲是一種自古以來就受到人們喜愛的鳥類，是吉祥的象征，象征著喜事。儒家眼中的聖賢君子，猶如喜鵲，有恒心，有決心，有清明，有恒心，有一致性。因為古人認為，喜鵲不管是唱是喜是悲，是在地上是在枝頭，是老是幼，總會發出一種美妙的聲音，喜鵲的叫聲也象征著一種美好的含義。
