Crow feedback means that when the crow grows up under the care of its mother, when her mother is old and weak, unable to eat or blind and unable to fly, her children will look around for delicious food, bring it back to her mouth and feed it to her mouth, and never get tired of it until the old crow dies and can't eat any more.

Origin: Li Shizhen (Ming Dynasty)-"Compendium of Materia Medica and Poultry Department" contains: "Ciwu: This bird was born, and its mother ate for 60 days, and it ate for 60 days for a long time."

When the crow was born, its mother nursed it for 60 days, and when it grew up, it took care of its mother for 60 days.

Crow feeding back shows that crow is still the most filial bird among birds. It is now used to describe the filial piety of caring for the elders.

The story of "Savior of the Crow"

At that time, Nurhachi was defeated in the battle with the Ming army, so he led the remnants out of the quiet fort along the Great Wall and bypassed the path into a dark forest. When the Ming army pursued, Nurhachi's heart was in his throat. When the reconnaissance horse of the Ming army was about to go into the Woods to check, a large group of crows suddenly flew up in the Woods.

The generals of the Ming army saw it and said, "The crow lives in the tree, and there will be no one in the forest!" The Ming army then retreated. More than 20 years later, in order to commemorate Taizu Nurhachi's escape from the forest, the Qing ancestors found the "Black Forest", and after eight years of Shunzhi (165 1), they built a magnificent temple on this "auspicious place" and personally gave the plaque "Ruichang Hall".

In order to commemorate the crow's saving his life, in major festivals or temple fairs, in addition to offering sacrifices to the gods, temples should especially mix chopped pigs and broken rice to feed the "God Crow".
