The magpie symbolizes happy events, saints, and good luck.
The magpie has been a popular bird since ancient times. It is a symbol of good luck and happiness, symbolizing the beginning of happy events. Two magpies facing each other are called "happy to meet"; if a badger and a magpie look at each other above and below the same tree, they are called "happy to meet". The magpie stands on the top of the plum tree, also known as "happy on the brow".
The call of the magpie sounds a bit similar to what people say, "Happy things are coming home, happy things are coming home." Therefore, people often say that the magpie is a symbol of happy events, which means that happy events are coming to your door and home.
No matter where the magpie is and what the occasion is, the rhythm and tone of its call are the same and never change. Therefore, from the perspective of Confucianism, those sages and gentlemen should also possess the qualities of permanence, stability, clarity, perseverance, and consistency like magpies. Therefore, Confucianism advocates learning from magpies and regards magpies as one of the templates for sages.
