The lark burying its mother 百灵鸟葬母

The lark¹, according to an ancient legend, was created before the earth, she could find for her no place of burial. She left her mother lying for five days. On the sixth day, she had no way out and bury her mother in her own head. So she got her crest², which is popularly said to be her mother's grave-hillock.

 

Youth's first duty is to show their respect to parents.

 

据古代传说，百灵鸟诞生于地球未成形以前；母亲死于一场重病，那时因为没有泥土，她找不到地方葬母。就停丧五天，到了第六天，她仍一筹莫展，就将母亲葬在自己的头上，因此，她就得到了冠毛，大家都说这是她母亲的坟山。

 

青年人的第一责任，就是孝敬父母。
