I Have a Safari Park

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

Tang Xiaoxin has never heard what "ape ming" looks like. Originally, when reciting this poem, she could only use the "squeaky wah wah" of the macaque monkeys in the zoo as a reference, and she was always puzzled.

Such a noisy and noisy cry should be very irritating to hear, why did the ancients feel very sad when they heard it, and their clothes were full of tears?

After thinking about it, it is only possible that I heard their calls and thought that the monkeys on the mountain in my hometown also called the same way, which caused homesickness, so I was sad and weeping.

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

It's hard to describe their singing in words!

Standing on the opposite bank of Gibbon Island, there is only a 10-meter-wide river in the middle, listening to them sing on the trees at such a close distance, as if you are in Vienna's Golden Concert Hall. , the singing turned into a clear river pouring down, and the waves churned with wonderful notes.

When I first heard this melodious and melodious singing, my scalp felt numb and goosebumps appeared on my arms.

Listening and listening, gradually intoxicated, and slowly the body relaxed and gradually became lighter.

There are beautiful pictures in front of you, as if the sun shines through the branches and leaves, the rain and dew wet the trunk, and the water droplets that fall to the ground splash in the grass, bringing moisture to the earth, and life is beautiful and fresh.

The soul is washed by the singing, and it seems that it has become more pure!

Every time when it is sunny and frosty, the forest is cold, and there are often high-pitched apes roaring.

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

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

The autumn in the Three Gorges is desolate and bleak, the journey is long and everything is silent, and listening to the long ape ming is naturally sad.

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

Hearing such a wonderful song of the gibbon, I felt uplifted and joyful.

Turning to look at Qian Keke: "Wow, it sounds really good! What do you think?"

Qian Ke said ridiculously: "Listening to their singing, it seems to be able to hear a carefree and very happy feeling!"

Tang Xiaoxin nodded in agreement: "It seems so!"

The surrounding tourists, listening to the singing of the gibbon, each reacted differently!

Some adults closed their eyes, held their hands in front of their chests, shook their heads, and looked like a spring breeze, extremely intoxicated.

The children beside them pulled on their parents' sleeves and shouted in amazement, "Mama! Mama! They are singing!"

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

The ring-tailed lemurs on the island next to them, with their thighs open and their black claws facing the sky, meditate and practice in the warm sun, while they look at the other bank with bright eyes, and listen to the two gibbons sing loudly. appearance.

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 their body and mind under the guidance of music, so as to remove distracting thoughts and meditate deeply to achieve better exercise effect.

For ring-tailed lemurs, maybe the singing effect of gibbons has the same effect?

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 sing.

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

This time, a black langur squatted on a tree branch with one paw supporting its leg. It looked like a big man. It scratched its crotch, listened to the song, turned over from the tree branch and stood up. He jumped to a short distance and jumped in the air on the vine perch to play.

Another black langur sat not far away, eating vegetable leaves in his hands and chewing in his mouth.

There are also two American tapirs on the island, which are exploring the exhibition area curiously, sniffing the grass with their heads down.

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

After singing for ten minutes, I moved to the stone mountain in the center to rest.

Sitting on a tree trunk, brushing each other's fur, they looked very warm.

Gibbons need to be kept in a community, and gibbons raised alone can become depressed, have no appetite, be listless and lethargic, not to mention interested in singing.

But not all gibbons can get along with each other.

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

So either a pair of male and female, or brothers and sisters who grew up together, or parents or single parents with offspring.

As gibbons grow older, when they approach adulthood, their parents will attack and drive away their children, leaving them to survive and find a mate.

The pair of gibbon brothers, Sunshine and Sunny, are already 6 years old, so they are not as harmonious as they were when they were young, and they fight for food or territory from time to time.

In the back house, because the fight was too intense one day, they had to be separated into cages, but the two gibbons looked at each other with barbed wire every day, and they were very reluctant to leave each other.

Now the space for activities outside is much wider, and the performance is still quite harmonious.

While brushing each other's hair, while watching the children running foolishly outside, he picked a fresh leaf and chewed it twice.

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

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

Sunny jumped to a tree below, stretched out a slender ape arm, grabbed the trunk, and swung half a circle.

Just when Tang Xiaoxin thought it was going to swing forward, she didn't expect that the sunny day would continue to swing upward like a pendulum, standing on the tree trunk from below, and the ape arms wrapped around the tree trunk above and walked on the ground.

Looking at the sun through the stone pillar, the two gibbons looked at each other for a moment, and Sunny jumped up from the tree trunk and hugged a bamboo pole next to it. The elastic bamboo pole was suddenly pulled down like a rubber band.

Sunny took advantage of the situation and bounced back on the perch. The bamboo pole also bounced up, swaying continuously, and the bamboo leaves swayed to and fro.

The sun quickly fell several layers, grabbed a perch and pretended to chase, and then swayed from the slope down to the slope, ready to come around.

The posture of jumping and hopping on the tree is like a light and graceful flying bird!

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

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

Tang Xiaoxin was stunned: "Wow, amazing!"
