Orange-bellied Flowerpecker

 Passeriformes - Dicaeidae - Dicaeum trigonostima (Sepah Bunga Perut Jingga)


Bright and colorful male is difficult to miss: bright grayish blue with yellow or orange underparts (depending on subspecies) and a small orange splotch on the back. Female is comparatively dull, but her yellow-suffused underparts and rump are still quite distinctive. Like other flowerpeckers, forages actively, often hovering in front of blossoms or while gleaning from foliage. Inhabits forested edges (less common in dense forest) from lowlands up to foothills; often quite close to human habitation. Gives a variety of buzzy or sharp notes.

Chapter 3

Keeping at rest the people


l

Not exalting the worthy causes people not to emulate.


ll

Not prizing the difficult to obtain of treasures causes people not to commit theft.


lll

Not seeing [that which is] able [to elicit] desire, causes the heart not to be disturbed.


lV

Therefore the holy man of the government empties [the people’s] hearts, [and] fills their stomachs, [the inner, the soul] he weakens their desire [but] strengthens their bones.


V

Always he causes people not to know, not to be desirous.

He causes those knowing ones not to dare to act, indeed.


Vl

[When] he does not-doing then there is nothing not governed.
