Core words, Bird, Cultural exchange, Wu Ti Qing Wen Jian.

There are rich records about the core word "bird" in "Wu Ti Qing Wen Jian". The statistics and records of birds are an important part of the study of biology, geography, and ecology. The distribution of birds can also reflect the species exchange and cultural exchange of various countries in the world to a certain extent. The Chinese birds recorded in the "Wu Ti Qing Wen Jian" of Qing China are one of the most important carriers for the study of biodiversity and regional relations. This paper, based on the core word “bird” in the dictionary for the first time, classifies and analyzes the core word “bird” (164 of 220 bird entries in total) of the main part of the Chagatai text and explores the communication between the Central Plains and the Western Regions in history from the perspective of cultural exchange.
