On Cixi's 60th birthday, why didn't Li let the birds fly and the fish go?

1894 The 10th day of the 10th lunar month is the 60th birthday of Empress Dowager Cixi. The Qing court prepared a grand celebration for her as usual. According to legend, a Li program was carefully designed? The eunuchs carried all the bird cages to Wanshou Mountain. At the command of Empress Dowager Cixi, all the birdcages were opened, and the birds began to fly, but they all landed in the trees without flying twice.

Flying birds

When Li saw this situation, he immediately kowtowed to him. Lafayette is kind. You look at that bird, even if you let it go, you don't want to go. ?

Empress Dowager Cixi, who is used to all kinds of tricks, said, Little Lizi, don't keep this from me. There must be a scam here. ?

Li said? It is true that you are merciful, so these birds don't want to leave. If you don't believe there are fish down there, please look again. ?

Li stopped here and said? There has been a saying of taming birds since ancient times, but there has never been a saying of taming fish, which just shows that the old lady is kind and neither birds nor fish want to leave the Queen Mother. ? Empress Dowager Cixi was very happy and rewarded Li. So what did Li do to stop birds from flying and fish from swimming?

It turns out that the bird has never flown out of the cage since it was born. As soon as the cage was opened, the birds flew around excitedly, but because they were trapped in the cage for a long time, their strength was relatively small. After a while, they didn't fly, so they lost their strength and fell one after another. As for fish, there is some mystery. The water temperature in Kunming Lake is different. The water temperature in the depth is cool, the water on the shore is warm, and the water in the bucket is as warm as that on the shore. As soon as the fish are released, they naturally swim far away. ?
