This striking plumage has always attracted people's attention. In particular, thanks to folk songs like the Taiwanese "The Snail and the Oriole" and the Mongolian "The Little Oriole," the black-naped oriole is familiar even to modern urbanites who have never seen one in the flesh.
特別是俗稱黃鶯的黃鸝，在台灣民謠「蝸牛與黃鸝鳥」、蒙古民歌「小黃鸝鳥」傳播下，沒瞧過黃鸝的現代摩登都會人，對黃鸝也不陌生。
