Duck
Duck is the common name for numerous species of waterfowl in the family Anatidae. Ducks are generally smaller and shorter-necked than swans and geese, which are members of the same family. Divided among several subfamilies, they are a form taxon; they do not represent a monophyletic group (the group of all descendants of a single common ancestral species), since swans and geese are not considered ducks. Ducks are mostly aquatic birds, and may be found in both fresh water and sea water. Ducks are sometimes confused with several types of unrelated water birds with similar forms, such as loons or divers, grebes, gallinules and coots. Etymology The word ''duck'' comes from Old English 'diver', a derivative of the verb 'to duck, bend down low as if to get under something, or dive', because of the way many species in the dabbling duck group feed by upending; compare with Dutch and German 'to dive'. This word replaced Old English / 'duck', possibly to avoid confusion with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kamo No Yasunori
Kamo no Yasunori (賀茂 保憲) was an ''onmyōji'', a practitioner of ''onmyōdō'', during the Heian period in Japan. He was considered the premier onmyōji of his time. Yasunori was the son of the onmyōji Kamo no Tadayuki (賀茂 忠行). According to a tale in the ''Konjaku Monogatarishu'', at the age of ten, Yasunori accompanied his father to an exorcism, where he was able to perceive the yōkai, demons — a sign of talent, for, unlike Tadayuki, Yasunori was capable of doing so without formal training. He later taught Abe no Seimei the art of onmyōdō. Seimei became his successor in astrology and divination, while Yasunori's son succeeded him in the creation of the calendar, a lesser task. For several centuries afterward, the Abe clan controlled the government ministry of onmyōdō, while the Kamo clan became hereditary keepers of the calendar. Kamo no Yasunori no musume, Yasunori's second daughter became an acclaimed poet. Yasunori's death is a driving plot el ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

was a Japanese author, poet (in the waka form), and essayist.
