In Old Chinese Folklore, Xi Wangmu was the Queen of the West and deemed immortal. Later, during the Tang Dynasty (618-906 AD), she became Daoist and forbade women to sing or do anything not considered correct for the Chinese women in the family. A young girl mourned that she could never sing, and she was told to find 'the bluebird of happiness'. Her story stopped there, so we don't know what happened.
The bluebird is supposed to represent Happiness and Cheer, in the folklore of many countries since then, in Operas, plays, and songs; Namely "Somewhere over the Rainbow"; Harold Arlens wrote the song in 1938 (The Wizard of Oz:"Somewhere over the Rainbow, Bluebirds fly"
Jumping to now, here are some Bluebirds at the mealworm feeder in the back yard...I hope they continue into Spring and build their nests here for many chicks!
Where ever you are or a believer (Do you believe in fairies?), I hope you find your own Bluebird of Happiness!
