"The Biography of the Grasshopper" by Liu Zongyuan
Original text
The grasshopper is a good deed of small insects. . When I encounter something while walking, I grab it and carry it with my head held high. The heavier the back is, the more troubles it will cause. His back is very astringent, and he cannot get up due to accumulation of objects. People may pity them in order to remove their burden. If you can do it, you can still hold on to it. It's easy to climb high, and it's extremely powerful. To fall to the ground and die. Those who are addicted to acquisition in this world will not avoid things in order to enrich their lives. I don’t know if I am tired of it, but I am afraid that it will not accumulate. If they are lazy and squat, if they are abandoned and moved, they will also become sick. He is able to get up, but he is not afraid. He always thinks about his high position and his great salary, but he is so greedy for it that he is close to danger and falls, and he does not know how to take precautions when he looks at the death in front of him. Although its appearance is huge, it is famous, but its wisdom is like a small insect. I'm sorry for my husband!
Translation of "The Legend of Grasshopper"
Translation: Grasshopper is a small insect that is good at carrying things on its back. When crawling when they encounter something, they always grab it and carry it with their head raised. The more things you carry, the heavier they become, and you don’t stop even if it’s very difficult. Its back is very rough, so things will not fall apart when piled on it, and it will eventually be overwhelmed and unable to get up. Some people took pity on it and took off the things on its back. But if the locust can crawl, it can grab things and carry them on its back as before. This little bug also likes to climb to high places and will not stop even after exhausting its strength, causing it to fall and (finally) fall to the ground and die. Those greedy people in the world today do not shy away from money when they see it, but use it to fill their homes. They do not know that wealth has become a burden to them, and they are only afraid that they will not accumulate enough wealth. Once they collapsed due to negligence, some were dismissed from office, and some were demoted to remote areas, which can be regarded as suffering. Once they are appointed, they do not want to repent. They think about improving their status and increasing their salary every day, and they even get more greedy for money, even to the point of falling to death. Those who perish do not know how to learn. Even though their appearance seems huge and they are called "people", their knowledge is the same as that of small insects. Too sad!
This is a fable that uses the story of a small insect to satirize the ugly face and mentality of "the greedy people of this world" who amass wealth, are greedy, and never realize it until death. , its meaning is to know how to be content and never be too greedy. Although this article is short, it is like a bright mirror, reflecting the dark reality of society at that time. The author is good at observing life, and writes about the nature of small insects carrying heavy objects. He is also good at thinking about social and life issues, and writes about the greedy nature of corrupt officials. The article has accurate analogies, natural transitions, sharp language, vivid narratives, alert discussions, profound implications, and a strong critical spirit. Thousands of years later, it can still serve as a warning to the world. 2. A paragraph about observing insects
This week, the teacher assigned a composition topic about small insects.
Today, my father and I went to the park to observe bugs. Suddenly, I found a few ants crawling on the ground.
"Dad, there are a lot of ants here," I said in surprise, "Let's observe the ants today. Can you help me find a fly?" "Okay!" Dad went to get one. For flies, use thin branches to thread the flies, then place the flies where there are ants, and then press the branches where the flies are threaded with stones.
After a while, an ant "scout" came. It smelled with its nose and moved its tentacles. Then, it circled the fly a few times and pulled the fly. But when he couldn't pull it, he crawled back into the hole. I thought he left in despair, but just after a while, another little ant came up, no, two, three... A large group of ants crawled over, they pulled and lifted, but Still can't lift it.
Because the fly was suppressed by dad with a stone. Immediately, an ant went back to fetch reinforcements.
This time, he called "General Big Head". This "general" is twice as big as other ants. It has a big pincer in its mouth and looks very powerful.
"Little Ant, what's the matter with you?" "General, the prey outside is too big. We need you to break it down so that we can move it.
"Oh, you come to lead the way!" "The little ant brought the "general" to the prey in one go.
The "general" skillfully climbed onto the back of the fly and easily cut off the fly's wings with large pliers. An ant immediately Lift the wings back into the hole.
Then, the four ants immediately lined up in two columns and pulled the fly's legs straight, "General, cut off this leg quickly!" "Okay", there was a "click", and the leg was cut off. Two ants lifted the leg away. On the way, one ant said to the other ant: "Hey, it takes two people to lift such a little leg." lift? You underestimate me. You go and do your work, I'll lift it all by myself. "
When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but wonder: "One monk carries water to drink; two monks carry water to drink; three monks have no water to drink. "The correctness of this ancient saying.
"General" cut off the other wing, head, and tail one after another. After a while, a fly dozens of times larger than the ant, They were all moved back home by the little ants.
As the saying goes: "When people are united, it is difficult to move mountains; when people are scattered, it is difficult to move rice." "Today, I really understood the truth of this sentence after observing the labor process of ants.
Although ants are small, they always think of others in their hearts. If there are good things, they can be shared with everyone. There is also their spirit of solidarity and perseverance. Compared with us humans, shouldn't we learn something from the little ants? Look at the elegant dance, look at the graceful figure, and look at the beautiful wings. The dancer butterfly in the sky! I used to hate this insect, but now I pay special attention to it and want to know everything about it.
Look! The two white butterflies in the front are chasing each other. There are several beautiful black patterns on the wings.
When the breeze blows, a pair of tentacles swing with the wind.
It’s a result of rebirth and pain.
I felt an indescribable love in my heart when I looked at these two little things. I only made observations.
They pretended to be dead at first, but then they slowly got up and touched another butterfly with their antennae and wings. p> The other one also stood up. The two little things started running around in my cage looking for an exit.
One of them was trying not to get hurt by me. The limping one did not stay still in the cage due to its physical condition. It looked like an old man over sixty years old.
But everyone knew that their actions were in vain. Finally, I let them go.
I knew that they belonged to nature. Soon they regained their energy and flew away together.
They are very light and fly very high, as if they are afraid that I will catch them again.
It can be seen that they are obviously much happier than when they were at my house, watching the beautiful butterflies walking in the air. Dancing, chasing.
Suddenly a joy came to my heart.
I hope they will always be beautiful, hope they will always be happy, and hope they will come every summer. Dance for people among the flowers and grass. I hope they will always be happy.

"Okay", with a "click", the legs were cut off, and two The ant carried the leg away. On the road, one ant said to another ant: "Hey, it takes two people to lift such a little leg? You are looking down on me.
Go and do your work "Yours, I carried it alone." When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but wonder: "One monk carried water to drink; two monks carried water to drink; three monks had no water to drink. 3. Diary of Observing Insects
Observation Diary
Saturday, September 2
Today I caught a big spider from the yard. It has eight slender legs. It has some downy hair. Its head is white, its belly is golden, and there are some brown patterns on it, giving it a feeling of beauty and fear. I put it in a plastic box and prepared to feed it for a while. Time. Because I like insects, and I love raising them more. I can learn a lot from them that I can’t learn from TV or books. That night, I started to observe how spiders weave their webs. It first hangs a thread from its tail to form a straight line, then it repeats this action from all angles to form a large pentagonal frame, and then it starts to circle around the frame. After several hours, it finally weaved into a big net. The most interesting thing about it was its prey. I took a small cockroach and put it into its net. The cockroach was stuck in the net. . The spider was like a ferocious beast, and it wrapped the cockroach in its web at lightning speed, and then pierced the cockroach with its two fangs, paralyzing it, and then slowly began to enjoy this delicious meal.
Sunday, September 3rd
The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was to run to the balcony to take a look at the spiders I raised, but something frustrating happened to me. Lost its trace. Just when I was worried, I suddenly saw a slender spider thread pointing towards the ceiling. When I looked up, it turned out that the spider had weaved a larger web on the ceiling of the balcony, and it was lying quietly. On the web. Suddenly a strong wind blew the spider's web into pieces. It started to mend the web, and then it climbed down to another wall. It weaved a shiny silk, repeated it a few more times, and finally mended the web. Just as it was resting, another branch fell onto the web, and the spider's previous efforts were wasted. I thought it would never repair it. I would definitely look for another place to knit another one. But I was wrong. I started repairing it again, and after a few hours, I finally succeeded. I thought to myself, should we give up after a small setback in our lives? Let’s learn about spiders. 4. What is the name of the insect in ancient Chinese?
Inchworm
“The inchworm bends to seek faith (stretch). "From "Book of Changes·Xici"." The inchworm bends to gain trust; the dragon and snake stings to save oneself. The essence and meaning are absorbed into the mind, so that they can be used; they can be used to settle down, so as to respect virtue. In the past, it was not possible to know it; if the gods are poor, virtue will flourish. ”
“The inchworm bends in order to stretch.” It means that the inchworm bends to stretch. It is a metaphor for the strategy of retreating to advance.
The fifth chapter of Ming Dynasty Wang Shizhen's "Crying Phoenix": The inchworm wants to stretch, but the humble must surrender.
An inchworm is the larvae of a kind of moth. This moth is called an inchworm moth. There are more than a dozen species of inchworm moths, but
their larvae are all called inchworms. This insect looks a bit like a silkworm, with a thin body, about three inches long, as if
It is a string bean with legs at the head and tail, so it looks very strange when you move it. You need to move the legs at the tail to the legs close to the head, at the top of the head. feet, then move forward, and so on.
When the feet of the head and the feet of the tail are close to each other, the whole body bends up, so when it
moves forward, it actually It is the action of continuously bending into a bow shape and then straightening it. 5. Write an article about observing bugs
With the permission of my parents, I came to the park and lay down on a small lawn in the park and looked at the sky quietly. Suddenly a little ant crawled across my hand. I looked at it carefully...
In front of my eyes, it became bigger than ever before, and the grass became a big forest. A little ant was walking around alone and found a small piece of bread crumbs. I think it must be a good chef. It went out to find something to cook. Now it found it, but it couldn't move it. It turned around and walked back. Arriving at the cave, after a while, the ant chef brought out a few more porters. They worked together to move the food in. They will have another sumptuous dinner tonight! I seemed to smell the fragrance of the ants' rice. I wanted to go in and share it with them, but I was afraid of scaring these little elves.
The life of ants is also very regular. They do their own things: the little ants are in school, the teacher is teaching, and their teachers and students are so serious and focused. When the little ants go to school, their parents are at work. Jingle bells... The school bell rang, and the little ants all went home. When they got home, the little ants reported to their parents what they had learned in the day. The parents might criticize them or praise them. A little ant that looks very proud, I think it must have gotten good grades.
An ant robber stopped an ant resident fiercely. The ant police happened to pass by and caught the ant robber. I think the ant police must be very happy because it did a good thing for the people.
The smoke rising from the farmyard and the barking of the dog brought my soul back.
I would like to hold your hand and take a walk together in the ant kingdom.
Today, I came to the ant hole with great interest and saw them coming and going bustlingly.
The ants stood in rows and were getting ready to do exercises. Suddenly, the ant team was in chaos and scattered one after another. They ran and bumped left and right. A huge ant bumped into a petite ant, and the petite ant burst into tears. What to do? The petite ant could no longer crawl. A large group of ants came over, lifted the petite ant and walked away. They kept comforting the little ant in their mouths. The little ant was very grateful and said thank you repeatedly. My eyes followed the path of the ants, and I saw the ants' solidarity, mutual help, and friendly qualities. I gained a lot more there!
I roamed all morning, and it wasn’t until Father Sun laughed harder that my heart came back.
Seeing them so united and friendly, I was completely confused. How much wisdom is contained in the minds of ants? How many qualities of ants are worth learning from us? What is the force that makes them so united? I was completely immersed in the sea of ??ants.
The ants returned home, and there was a sound of ants eating in the hole. I, in this ocean of wisdom, have returned to my original nature. 6. A passage about observing bugs
One day, I went downstairs to play while eating apples, and accidentally dropped a piece of apple peel in front of the ant nest.
I was about to pick it up and throw it into the trash can. When I bent down, I suddenly found an ant quickly crawling to the apple peel and touching it tentatively with its tentacles. What does this ant want to do? Is it interested in apple peels? I squatted down and took a closer look. But for some reason, the ant turned around and headed straight to the nest. On the way, he met a companion. They "whispered" to each other with their tentacles for a while, and then walked back to the cave together. I was even more confused, what kind of trick was this ant playing? Why did it touch the apple peel and not eat it, but returned "home"? I thought maybe the ant was already full and was too lazy to pay attention to the food that came to him! But I immediately rejected this view, because a large group of ants walked out of the ant hole that came into view! I observed carefully and saw the army of ants smelling the smell and following the path of the mysterious ant just now and heading straight for the apple peel!
I saw that when the first ant touched the apple peel, the ants behind scattered and formed a circle around the apple peel. Several ants worked hard together, but they could not lift the apple peel. "Heavy" apple peel. However, this problem was quickly solved. More and more ants rushed towards the apple peel, and the encirclement became denser and denser. Dozens of ants worked together, and a miracle happened! These dozens of ants actually picked up the apple peel and staggered towards the cave!
At this time, I also suddenly realized. It turned out that after the first ant discovered the peel, he did not eat it all by himself, but called an army of ants to move back to the cave together. Isn't this kind of collective love the habit of ants? From the "teacher" ant, I also learned a truth - unity is powerful! 7. The text of "Insects to Insects" in classical Chinese
This is about using insects to control insects, I don't know if it is true or not
Original text: Yuanfengzhong, Gyeongju realm gave birth to a child called Fangchong, Fang was Akita damage. Suddenly, an insect appears, like a dog or scorpion in the soil.

Write a diary of observing insects
Hello: ■ Dragonfly Observation Diary■ After breakfast, I came to Bayi Lake swimming.
Just as I was about to go into the water, I suddenly saw a big gray-brown insect in the water on the shore. I screamed in surprise, and my father came over and took a look and said: "This is the larvae of a clearfly. Its scientific name is water scorpion. People call it water scorpion. It wants to climb up the shore and transform into a clearfly. Dragonflies are experts at eating mosquitoes. , is a beneficial insect."
I watched curiously and saw it getting out of the water, climbing up the stone wall, and stopped about a foot away from the water. This thing is about half an inch long, with two big eyes on its small pointed head, nine ball joints on its fat body, six legs, and short, stick-like wings on its back. .
After a while, its sun-dried neck suddenly cracked, and a yellow-green thing came out one after another, first the head, then the chest, ah, What a dragonfly! ...Hey, why are you not moving? The protruding head and chest are suspended in the air. Is he dead? I lowered my head and looked closer. Suddenly I saw the feet curled up on my chest move, then move again, my body bent sharply, my feet grabbed the stone wall, and with a flick of its long and slender abdomen, all the dragonflies came out of their shells.
The sun shines on its beautiful body, and the wings gathered on its back like four raised ridges gradually flatten and spread out. Then, I saw its whole body trembling, a few small drops of water falling from the tip of its tail, its head raised, and it flew away.
Ah, an ugly aquatic bug turned into a beautiful dragonfly.
