What does "Scarecrow" mean?

Scarecrow has two meanings. The first meaning refers to dummies, which are used to drive away birds in farmland. Because this kind of dummy is often made of straw, it is called "Scarecrow". The second meaning refers to a selfless dedication in our real life. They are unknown and willing to contribute, which is very worthy of respect from others! In China, the appearance of scarecrow can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period. ? It is said that after Zhuge Liang borrowed the arrow of the Yangtze River straw boat, a fisherman who fished in the Yangtze River accidentally caught a well-made straw man, which was very cute. The fisherman hid the scarecrow in the dark cabin of the ship. When he got home, he also took the scarecrow home. Qingming Grain Rain is coming, which is the sowing season. At this time, the seeds in the field were either eaten by voles or pecked away by sparrows. In this regard, the fisherman felt helpless and thought of the scarecrow. The fisherman quickly moved the scarecrow to the field. Unexpectedly, once a straw man was erected in the field, the vole didn't come, the birds flew away and the seedlings grew neatly. The news was immediately known to other people in the village. The farmers planted grass people in the fields and achieved very good results. Finally, in the harvest season, in order to prevent mice and birds from destroying crops, people also tied up grass people. This method is very effective, so it has been passed down to this day.
