1. Famous lines describing insects
The most widely circulated and popular one is "Three Hundred Tang Poems".
Among these three hundred glorious chapters, there are some poems related to insects, in which the poet uses insects to express his feelings. |Ode to Silkworms|"The spring silkworm's silk will not be exhausted until it dies, and the candle's tears will not dry until it turns to ashes" (Li Shangyin's "Untitled").
Legend has it that sericulture was pioneered by the Yellow Emperor’s Snail Ancestor in the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of more than 5,200 years. In short, Caner is full of treasures and has made great contributions to mankind.
The poet expresses his feelings with the famous line "The spring silkworms will not run out until they die, and the wax torch will turn to ashes before the tears dry up", which expresses the ambition of the "old man" and the heart of "working hard". Zhang Ji's poem "Tian Jia Xing" of the Tang Dynasty: "Wild silkworms make cocoons that no one can take, and moths flutter among the leaves."
It describes the phenomenon of silkworms making cocoons and pupating, and moths emerging from the cocoons. |Cicada |The emergence period of cicadas is mostly in the summer, so there is a poem like "The cicadas sing in the sky, the mulberry leaves are empty, and the road is Xiaoguandao in August" (Wang Changling's "Song on the Wall").
There are vocalizers on both sides of the base of the abdomen of male cicadas. They rely on vibrating vocalizers to "cicada" and "sing". If there is dew in the morning or heavy rain is coming, the cicadas will stop singing and the cicadas will sing temporarily. stop. Therefore, there is a poem called "When the guests leave, the waves are flat, and the cicadas are dead and the branches are full of dew" (Li Shangyin's "Falling Flowers").
|Although there are poems such as "Leaning outside the firewood gate and listening to the evening cicadas in the wind" (Wang Wei's "Wangchuan Leisure Residence Presented to Pei Xiucai Di") to express the poet's leisurely mood. But some poems use the sound of cicadas to express the poet's nobility and thoughts.
For example, "The cicadas sing in the West, and the guests in Nanguan think deeply" ("Singing Cicadas in Prison" by Luo Binwang). The author's noble character is vividly described in his preface using a cicada as a metaphor! | "The cool breeze comes at dusk, and I feel sad when I hear the cicadas." (Meng Haoran's "Qin Zhongji Sends a Distant Master" expresses the poet's longing for his distant friends.
Dai Shulun's poem "Painting Cicadas": "Drinking and revealing one's body" "He Jie, the chanting is longer, the setting sun is thousands of trees, there is nowhere to hide from the mantis" can be regarded as the artistic reproduction of the idiom "The mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole follows".
|Dream Butterfly|Zhuang Zhou dreamed of butterfly. It has become an important theme for literati to express their aspirations through objects, and butterfly dreams have become synonymous with dreams. In Du Fu's poem "Two Poems on Qujiang", he wrote: "You can see the butterfly deeply through the flowers, and the dragonflies will fly in the water." Butterflies fly among the flowers to feed, mate, and lay eggs. Dragonflies touch the water to lay eggs, and they are vividly depicted.
| Xie Yi of the Northern Song Dynasty described in "Butterfly": "Following wildly." Catkins are sometimes seen, but where to find them when they dance among the pear blossoms?" | The poem "Two Poems from Xugongdian, Suxin City" by Yang Wanli in the Southern Song Dynasty goes: "Children rush to chase yellow butterflies, flying into cauliflower and nowhere to be found.
|Fluttering with fireflies|"The cold autumn light of silver candles paints the screen, and the small light fan flutters with fireflies" (Du Mu's "Autumn Eve"). This is a wonderful line in Tang poetry and has long been popular. Fireflies belong to the family Coleoptera, and their larvae often live in rotten grass. They look for small insects in the pile, so there is a misconception that "the rotting grass is a firefly"
|Fireflies have the habit of lying around during the day and emerging at night, so there is a saying that "the firefly flies in the evening hall and thinks quietly, and the solitary lamp is exhausted before falling asleep." "(Bai Juyi's "Song of Everlasting Sorrow") describes the scene when Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty stayed awake at night and missed Yang Yuhuan. |Insect Control|"Tuntian Ci" by Dai Shulun of the Tang Dynasty: "The new crops are not yet ripe, and the locusts have eaten all the dry stems. < /p>
When the locusts come back to guard the empty house, there is no bag, no silk bottle, no millet. "|Bai Juyi's "Locust Catching": "The food is like silkworms flying like rain, the locusts are eating thousands of miles away, and there are no green seedlings in the empty red soil."
|Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty wrote a poem: "This year's spring is so warm that flies are about to grow, and there are more moats on the ground than soil. I am worried that once my wings are opened, my voice will be like the wind, but I am not willing to spit."
| Guo Dun in the Ming Dynasty also described it in a famous sentence: "The locusts cover the sky and the sun is colorless, and the old fields are full of tears and blood. They can't catch them with their clothes on, and the big leaves are empty and the twigs are broken." When talking about China's insect culture, we have to mention the Tang Dynasty. Ouyang Xun.
According to expert research, "Yi Wen Lei Ju" compiled by Ouyang Xun in 641 AD was the first to collect historical information about insect culture scattered among Chinese people. Poems about insects such as butterflies, mosquitoes, flies, moths, ants, locusts, bees, crickets, inchworms, and mantises
Later, poems and songs about insects continued to appear in poetry for more than 2,000 years. The previous "Book of Songs·Guofeng·July" contains "In May, katydids move their legs, and in June, partridges vibrate their feathers."
July is at home, August is at home, September is at home, and in October crickets come under my bed." Zuo Si's "Weidu Fu" has "The curtain of clear troops is no different from the web of spiders and cantharides. "A weak soldier with mail is no different from a mantis guard"; the ancient Yang Xiong said that "a small skill for an insect cannot be done by a strong man"; Li Shizhen recorded more than 70 items about insect drugs in "Compendium of Materia Medica", and there are many vivid descriptions. For example, the dung beetle "has deep eyes and a high nose, looks like a Qiang beard, carries a black armor on its back, and looks like a warrior, so it is called a dung beetle and a general" and so on. In ancient times, there were quite a few monographs on silkworm and beekeeping, such as. The "Silkworm Classic" written by King Huainan; the "Book of Silkworms" and "General Theory of Yisang" written by Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasty; the Qing Dynasty's "Silkworm Collection"; the Later Wei Dynasty's "Qi Min Yaoshu"; the Tang and Song Dynasty's "Erya Wings" have " When a bee stings a person, its awns burrow into the human flesh and cannot come back. The bee also seeks death. "
And so on, which not only reflects a considerable scientific level, but also involves a lot of insect culture materials. According to the "Chinese Agricultural Book", the first time my country's ancient white waxworms were known abroad was the United Kingdom. Jesus missionary N. Terry Galt wrote about it in 1651.
Afterwards, the news spread to Europe, and W. Lockhart brought ash samples together with ash worms from Shanghai in 1853. Sent to the United Kingdom for research. In 1913, E.H. Wilson from the United States made a special trip to my country to investigate the white wax in Sichuan.
It can be seen that insects have been involved in international folk and cultural exchanges a long time ago. There are also many insects that have decorated people's lives in ancient times, such as cicadas, which were raised for entertainment in the Jin and Han Dynasties. "Yi Lu" records that there was a custom of racing cicadas in Chang'an during the Tang Dynasty. The cicadas gathered together to sing more, which was called "Fairy Chongshe". Scarabs had been used as decorations and toys seven or eight hundred years ago. "Cockchafers have green bodies and are bright." "If it's like gold, the local people took it and used it as a hairpin ring for their wives." It is recorded in "Yizhou Fangwu Ji"; in "Guixin Miscellaneous Knowledge" there is "the armor can fly, its color is like gold, and it is incomparable to a small turtle. It is recorded that "children often take them for fun".
Chitins are also used in decorations. Chen Changqi's "chitins, also beetles, have green backs and wings under the armor; they are from Lingnan Bin" Cheng Zhuzhou, people take their place, people like and love each other."

"Insects" is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation by the outstanding French entomologist and litterateur Fabre, and it is also an immortal work. world famous works. The famous writer Ba Jin said: "It combines the author's lifelong research results and life insights, observes insect nature with human nature, and turns the insect world into a beautiful article for humans to gain knowledge, interest, beauty and ideas."
The author records the results and experiences of his lifelong research on insects in the form of prose. He uses the humanistic spirit to guide the complex evidence in natural science, the blend of insect nature and human nature, making the insect world a literature for humans to gain knowledge, interest, beauty and ideas. In this way, the topic of a mere insect is written into a masterpiece with layered meaning and all-round value. This kind of work is truly unprecedented in the world. No entomologist has such a superb talent for literary expression, and no writer has such broad and profound entomological attainments. If it weren't for Fabre who was so tenacious, our world would never have read "Insects".
There is a deeper truth to saying we are lucky. Fabre is tenacious because he has a certain spirit. If he gave up and lost his spirit, there would be no "Insects" in this world.
The detailed description of insects in "Insects" makes people have to admire Fabre's superhuman observation ability, such as the embarrassed appearance of cicadas and ants when begging for food: "The ants stood on the threshold, surrounded by There were large sacks of wheat grains on the table, and the cicada was turning his back to the cicada who came to beg. The cicada was wearing a wide rimmed 18th-century millinery hat with its paws stretched out. Holding a guitar and piano, the hem of her skirt was blown against her legs by the biting cold wind. This is the image of a cicada. "This description of begging is really vivid.
What is even more amazing is Fabre's description of the upside-down posture of insects: For example, in a metal cage, the larvae of the vertebral mantis remains unchanged after stopping in one place. It hooked the net with the tips of its four hind paws, with its back facing down, motionless, hanging high on the top of the cage, with its four hanging points bearing the weight of its entire body. The upside-down perching position is so difficult, but the fly's upside-down position is completely different. Although the fly is also hanging on the ceiling, it always takes time to relax, fly casually, walk around in a normal posture, with its belly on the ground, and its limbs stretched out to bask in the sun. Fabre's description of insects is really meticulous and amazing. Let me ask, that person has never seen a fly hanging upside down, but who would pay attention to it? But Fabre described thousands of species of insects in detail in "Insects", which was also Fabre's success.
However, Fabre's success did not happen overnight. He faced two major problems in his life: one was "prejudice" and the other was "poverty." Fabre was diligent and enterprising, and turned from a descendant of a farmer into a middle school teacher: he taught hard for more than 20 years in middle schools. At the same time, he observed and studied insects and plants in his spare time, and published outstanding papers. Despite this, his dream of "going to the university lecture hall" has never been realized, and his desire to open an independent insect laboratory has never been supported. The authorities in education and science fundamentally looked down upon his self-taught education and disapproved of his research direction. This kind of indifference is consistent with the hypocrisy, vulgarity and jealousy of some people, and has long formed a prejudice against Fabre.
Fabre was born in a poor family and worked on his own to finish primary school and middle school. As an adult, he only relied on the salary of a middle school teacher to support a family of seven. He was impoverished in the first half of his life and barely had enough food and clothing in the second half of his life. However, released without giving in to "prejudice" and "poverty". He is still diligent in self-study, expanding his knowledge reserve, persevering in observation and experiments, constantly obtaining new results, and fighting back against "prejudice" again and again. He squeezed out a piece of money to buy jars, jars, boxes, cages, and provide excellent research materials day after day, month after month, and year after year. The "poverty" of the chemist and scholar turned into the wealth of entomology.
He almost sacrificed everything in order to complete "Insects". He did not seize the many opportunities that appeared in his life to gain utilitarianism. He lived the "good life" in his imagination but settled for poverty and sat on the bench all his life. He even tied the whole family to his "bench". ".
Fabre once asked a question: "Is it worth enduring hardship just to survive?" He has spent his ninety-two years answering the question of why he endures hardship: in the face of "prejudice", Accompanied by "poverty", not afraid of "sacrifice", "offense" and "forgetting", all this is for the word "truth". Pursuing truth and exploring the truth can be described as “seeking truth”. Seeking truth, this is the "spirit of Fabre".
In this book "Insects", we not only see the vast world of insects, but also appreciate Fabre's spirit of "pursuing the truth" and "exploring the truth".
Take your pick, they are all good
