In Chinese, the shrikes are known as 伯勞 (also written 博勞) or sometimes 伯勞鳥 ('shrike bird'). is a single word in Chinese. The characters indicate sound, not meaning (the literal meaning for the two different ways of writing it are the nonsensical 'uncle labour' or 'broad labour').
An old name is 鵙 . Although it has disappeared from ordinary modern usage, this word is widely used in ornithological Chinese to form the names of birds in which the word 'shrike' is a component (e.g., 'shrike babbler', 'cuckoo shrike', 'woodshrike').
In some areas, the shrike is popularly known as 虎不拉 (written 'tiger cannot pull', possibly a tribute to its strength). An alternative writing is the less meaningful 胡不拉.
