公鸡是在天刚亮的时候打鸣,所以古人称公鸡为报晓鸡。著名作家高玉宝的《半夜鸡叫》,写了地主周扒皮要长工们早早起来给他干活,就半夜钻到鸡窝里学鸡叫,引得公鸡们纷纷打鸣。前些日子,我家养的公鸡也常常在半夜里啼叫,扰得周围邻居很有怨言。我家的鸡半夜为什么会叫呢?我们家人很是困惑。 The rooster crowes when it’s dawn, so the ancients called the rooster a chickens. Famous writer Gao Yubao’s “middle of the night cock”, wrote the landlord week grilled skin should grow up early to work for him, at midnight drilled to learn chicken in the chicken coop, attracted rooster have crowed. A few days ago, my domestic rooster also often cries in the middle of the night, disturbing neighbors with complaints. Why is my family called at midnight chicken? Our family is very confused.
