This poem is from Li Daoyuan's "Three Gorges", which is the content of the Chinese textbook in the first semester of the second semester of junior high school!

Tang Xiaoxin had never heard of what "ape chirping" looked like, and when she memorized this poem, she could only use the noisy cries of macaques in the zoo as a reference object, and she had always wondered.

Such a noisy and noisy cry should be very irritating when you hear it, why did the ancients feel very sad and tearful when they heard it?

Thinking about it, it can only be that I heard their calls, and thought that the monkeys in the mountains in my hometown also called like this, which caused homesickness, so I was sad and wept.

Now listening to the penetrating melodious song of the gibbon, I can finally understand the feelings of the ancients.

It's hard to put into words how they sing!

Standing on the opposite bank of Gibbon Island, separated by a 10-meter-wide river in the middle, listening to them singing in the trees at such a close distance, it is like being in the Vienna Golden Concert Hall, and the majestic singers stand on the stage and lead the singing, and the singing turns into a clear river pouring down, and the waves are churning beautiful notes.

When I first heard this strange singing voice with grace and melodiousness, my scalp tingled for a while, and goosebumps appeared on my arms.

Listening and listening, I gradually reveled in it, and slowly my body relaxed and gradually became lighter.

There are beautiful scenes in front of me, as if the sun is shining through the branches and leaves, the rain and dew wet the trunks of the trees, and the droplets of water dripping to the ground splash in the grass, bringing moisture to the earth, and life is beautiful and fresh.

The soul seems to have become purer by the song!

Every sunny and early frost, the forest is cold and the stream is severe, there is often a long howl of the high ape, which is desolate, the empty valley sounds, and the mourning turns for a long time.

Tang Xiaoxin came back to her senses and felt that the gibbon's singing voice was not mournful, but caused a trembling resonance of the human soul.

The listener's feelings should be related to the environment and mood!

The autumn of the Three Gorges is bleak and bleak, the journey is long, everything is silent, and listening to the song of the ape is naturally sad.

On a sunny day like this, and the long-awaited summer vacation, I was happy to finally be able to come to the zoo to play.

Hearing such a wonderful song of the gibbon makes the mood uplifted and joyful.

Turning his head to look at Qian Keke: "Wow, it's really good!" What do you think? ”

Qian Keke said with a smile: "Listening to their singing, it seems that I can hear a carefree and happy feeling!" ”

Tang Xiaoxin nodded in agreement: "It seems to be!" ”

The tourists around them, listening to the gibbon's song, have different reactions!

There are adults with their eyes closed, their hands in front of their chests, shaking their heads, looking like a spring breeze, extremely intoxicated.

The children around him pulled their parents' sleeves and shouted in surprise: "Ma Ma! Hemp! They're singing! ”

There are also children, listening to the sound of apes, running back and forth excitedly, chasing the trajectory of the island's gibbons on the shore, and their hands swinging in the air.

The ring-tailed lemurs on the island next to them, with their thighs open and their black paws facing the sky, meditated and practiced in the warm sun, while looking at the opposite shore with blazing eyes, pricking up their ears to listen to the two gibbons singing, listening to the appearance of being extremely engaged.

Some tourists can't help but chuckle when they see this interesting scene.

Some people like to put on some natural and soothing songs when practicing yoga, and relax the body and mind under the guidance of music, so as to remove distracting thoughts and meditate deeply, and achieve better exercise results.

For ring-tailed lemurs, maybe the gibbon's singing role is similar?

In addition to the two gibbons, there are other animals on the island!

There are also a few black monkeys, which will also sit in the treetops and listen to their neighbors singing.

They are black langurs, all black, with white markings on each cheek from the corner of the mouth to the base of the ear, like a "V", which looks like two mustaches on the cheeks from a distance.

A black langur squatted on a branch, with one paw on his leg, looking very big, scratched his crotch, listened to the song, turned over from the branch and stood up, jumped not far away, and leaped into the air on the vine perch to play.

Another black langur sat nearby, eating a vegetable leaf in his hand and chewing on it.

There are also two tapirs on the island, which are curiously exploring the exhibits, sniffing around the grass with their heads down.

Singing for such a long time is also a very physically demanding thing for gibbons!

After singing for more than ten minutes, I moved to the central stone mountain to rest.

Sitting on the trunk of a tree, grooming each other's fur, it looks very warm.

Gibbons need to be kept in the community, and gibbons that are kept alone can become depressed, have no appetite, are listless and lethargic, let alone have an interest in singing.

But not all gibbons can get along.

Adult gibbons of the same sex who are not related to each other are likely to clash and fight when they meet.

So it's either a male and female, or siblings who have grown up together, or parents or single parents with offspring.

As gibbons grow older and reach adulthood, their parents will attack and drive away their children, leaving them to live on their own and looking for mates.

This pair of gibbon brothers are 6 years old and sunny, so they are not as harmonious as they were when they were children, and they will fight for food or territory from time to time.

In the back house, because the fight was too fierce for a day, they had to be caged, but the two gibbons held the barbed wire fence and looked at each other every day, and they were very reluctant to leave each other.

Now the outside activity space is much wider, and the performance is quite harmonious.

While combing each other's hair, he looked at the children running around stupidly, picking a fresh leaf and chewing it twice.

Perhaps for them, appreciating the tourists coming and going outside, shouting and screaming, is also a kind of ordinary life pleasure.

The two gibbons groomed their fur, rested for a while, and then chased and played.

Qingtian jumped onto a tree below, stretched out his slender ape arms and grabbed the trunk, and swung in a half-circle.

Just when Tang Xiaoxin thought it was going to swing forward, he didn't expect Qingtian to continue to swing upward like a pendulum, standing on the trunk of the tree from below, holding the trunk above with his ape arm, and walking on the ground as if he were walking on the ground.

Looking at the sunlight through the stone pillar, the two gibbons looked at each other for a moment, and then jumped up from the trunk of the tree on a sunny day, hugging a bamboo pole next to it, and the elastic bamboo pole was suddenly pulled and bent down like a rubber band.

On a sunny day, he took advantage of the situation and bounced back to the perch, and the bamboo pole also bounced up, constantly swaying, and the bamboo leaves swayed back and forth.

The sunlight quickly fell a few floors, grabbed a perch and pretended to chase it, and then swung from the slope to the slope, ready to go around.

Jumping and moving in the trees, it looks like a light and graceful bird!

I'm afraid that even a gymnastics champion can't do such a difficult movement, and the trunk seems to be an extension of an arm.

However, Qingtian also saw through this trick, and immediately stopped when the sun was shining.

Tang Xiaoxin was dumbfounded: "Wow, it's amazing!" ”
