Poems about Italian Cricket 1. Original text of "Italian Cricket"
Let me answer Italian Cricket
< p> FabreOn summer nights in the south, in the wilderness, one can hear a simple repetition of a tune everywhere, but it is emotionally edifying
The music of the human heart, this music is rare in the north. heard. In spring, when the sun is high in the sky, there are symphony performers such as wild crickets; in summer, in the quiet and pleasant nights, the symphony performers are
Italian crickets. The matinee performance is in the spring, and the night performance is in the summer. The two musicians share the best time of the year
equally. As soon as the madrigal season of the first one ends, the nocturne season of the second one begins.
Some characteristics of the Italian cricket are not consistent with those of the cricket family. This is reflected in the fact that its clothing is not black
and its body shape is not that bulky. It perches on various small shrubs or tall grass, living a suspended life and rarely coming down to the ground. From July to October, it plays music there every day since the sun goes down and lasts most of the night. On a sultry night, this performance is just an elegant musical performance.
The music consists of a slow chirping sound, which sounds like this: Keli-咿咿咿, Keli
——咿咿咿. The tune is more expressive due to the vibrato. You can guess from the sound that the diaphragm must be extremely thin and very wide. If there is no disturbance, and it stays peacefully on the low leaves of the tree
, the singing will remain the same without any change; however, as long as there is a little movement, the performer seems to
Immediately moved the sound generator to my stomach. You just heard it here, very close, right in front of you;
But now, you suddenly hear it in the distance, 20 steps away, continuing to play its music.
You are completely confused. You can no longer use your hearing to find the exact location where the insect is chirping.
After I caught a few Italian crickets and put them in a cage, I learned a little about the performer whose skill was so great that it bewildered our ears.
Both elytra are dry translucent films, as thin as the colorless membranes of onions, and both can vibrate as a whole.
They are shaped like a side-mounted bow frame, gradually narrowing at one end of the cricket's upper body. On the inside of the right elytra, close to the wing root, there is a piece of callus. From the callus, five wing veins radiate, two of which run upward, two of which run downward, and the other one is basically transverse. The transverse wing veins are slightly orange-red, and they are the most important part. To put it bluntly, it is the bow. When the insects chirp loudly, the two elytra are always raised high, like a wide gauze sail. Only the inner edges of the two wing membranes overlap. Two piano bows, one on top and one on bottom, hinge and rub diagonally, so the two diaphragms unfolded produce sound oscillations.
The bow of the upper elytra rubs against the lower elytra. Similarly, the bow of the lower elytra rubs against the upper elytra.
Sometimes the friction points are rough calluses, and sometimes they are four smooth calluses. One of the radial wing veins, therefore, the sound quality will change. This probably explains part of the problem: when this timid insect is in a state of alert, its singing will cause hallucinations, making you think that the sound is coming from here.
It seems to be coming from there, and it seems to be coming from another place.
The changes in volume, the transition between bright and dull sound quality, and the resulting sense of distance change, all
give people an illusion; and this is exactly what the ventriloquism master does Art Tips. The chirping of this insect not only produces
the illusion of distance, but also has a pure timbre in the form of vibrato and vibrato. On an August night, in that extremely peaceful atmosphere, I really couldn't hear any other insect singing, but it could be as beautiful as the singing of Italian crickets
Clear. Countless times, I lay on the ground with my back against a screen made of rosemary, "accompanied by my quiet moon girlfriend", listening to the interesting "Barren Stone Garden" concert!
That high place, above my head, the Cygnus constellation stretches out its big cross in the Milky Way; this low place,
All around me, the insect symphony merges into a rippling wave. sound. The golden autumn of the earth is expressing its own joy, which makes me helplessly forget the performances of the stars. We know nothing about the eyes of the sky. They flicker like blinking eyelids. They stare at us with calm but cold eyes.
My cricket, with your company, I can feel the trembling of life; and the soul of our earthly clay is precisely life. It is for this reason that I lean against the rosemary fence and cast only a few absent-minded glances at the constellation Cygnus, while all my energy is concentrated on your serenade.

2. What explanation methods are used in "The Italian Cricket Family", find two ( Write a sentence,
This article is a science sketch. A science sketch is also called a literary expository essay, which is both scientific and literary. It uses both scientific and literary styles (also called popular scientific language). style). It is a kind of expository text with a lively language style according to the needs of expression. It is a kind of expository text that is opposite to the simple and plain language style.
The following should be paid attention to when reading and writing scientific sketches. Four aspects:
(1) Language: accurate, thoughtful and vivid.
(2) Explanation method: use quotations, metaphors, examples, etc.
p>
(3) Expression: often use figurative descriptions in explanations
(4) Rhetoric: Use metaphors, personification, quotations, etc.
3. Language features
(1) The use of personification increases the interest of the explanation language. For example: the text says that house crickets are "frequent visitors to country bakeries and stoves"; introduces the different activity seasons of two kinds of crickets. At that time, he said that in the spring, "there was a symphony playing by wild crickets from home", and in the summer night, "the symphony performer was the Italian cricket"; when describing the singing of the Italian cricket, he wrote that these "military band members hid in clusters of small shrubs" Here, they asked each other and asked each other, "They may be indifferent to other people's arias, but singing for their own joy" etc.
(2) Use metaphors to enhance the image of the language The nature of the explanation makes the content of the explanation vivid and concrete and easy to perceive. For example, when the text introduces the chirping of crickets, it says, "On a sultry night, this performance is just an elegant concert." When explaining the changes in the chirping sounds of crickets, it says, "As long as At the slightest movement, the performer seemed to immediately move the sound generator into his stomach." When writing about the vocal organ of the Italian cricket, he said that the two elytra are "as thin as the colorless membrane of an onion" and "are shaped like a side-mounted bow frame." "It looks like a wide gauze sail"; describing their activities, it is said that "the dense wild strawberry bushes and apricot trees have become their music pool" etc.
(3) Use moderate exaggeration to heighten the atmosphere, render the effect, and enhance the appeal of the descriptive language. On the one hand, the author does not hesitate to apply some words that express musical art to crickets, such as "music", "performer" and "musician". "Orchestra", "Season", and "Symphony", "Madrigal", "Nocturne", "Aria", "Sonata", etc. On the other hand, many vivid sentences are used to describe or describe it, such as "edifying music" and "quiet and pleasant". "It stays peacefully on the low leaves", "it makes people looking for it confused", etc.
(4) The language is full of emotions, which enhances the attraction of the object of explanation. In addition to the examples in various aspects mentioned above, the author also uses some sentences with distinctive emotional colors to express joy and praise. Such as "our pale cricket", "our cricket", "beautiful and clear", "full of fun", etc.
The above four aspects are organically integrated and used harmoniously to make the language of this article lively and interesting. While introducing knowledge, it also allows readers to be emotionally influenced.
Tips: The visualization of the language of scientific sketches cannot deviate from the basic requirements of accuracy and thoroughness of expository language. (1) Metaphoric explanation method (see "Second" above, omitted here)
(2) Comparison: In order to explain more clearly the principle that the sound of Italian crickets can give people hallucinations, the author also used Comparison method, put your fingers close to the struck glass, as well as the dampers and silencers of various musical instruments for comparison, which enhances the explanation effect.
(3) Description method: Paragraphs 3 to 5 describe the pronunciation characteristics of the Italian cricket; Paragraphs 6 to 8 describe the structure of the left and right elytra, etc.
3.>The paragraph describing crickets in
I can type it myself, I’m so tired~~~~~~~~~ Crickets’ homes and eggs are people’s Familiar with the more famous insects.
It lives in the grass, and its song and residence are quite distinctive. The fable master La Fontaine once described and praised it in poetry.
Another fabler once said in the voice of a cricket: "How I like the place where I am deeply secluded! If you want to live a happy life, hide here!" I once saw the cricket at the entrance of the cave with my own eyes. The tentacles are curled, the abdomen is facing the shade, and the back is facing the sun... Cricket's burrows are usually dug in the grass on sunny slopes. The advantage of this is that the rainwater outside the cave can quickly flow away from the slope without pouring directly into the cave.
The passage of the cave is about a finger wide, and the entire depth is at most nine inches. Its direction is sometimes zigzag and sometimes straight, trying to adapt to the changes in the terrain.
There is a tuft of grass left at the entrance of Cricket's cave. This is to protect the cave from rain, and the other is to conceal the entrance to protect the entire cave. Whenever the surroundings are quiet, they will play in the grass at the entrance of the cave.
The inside of Cricket's Cave is not luxurious, but it is not rough either. At the end of the cave passage is the bedroom, which is the most spacious and smooth in comparison.
The whole cave looks very simple, clean and hygienic. The cricket cherishes the shelter it has worked so hard to build.
It does not move in spring or winter. Among insects, only crickets have a fixed residence and enjoy a peaceful and peaceful life alone.
Crickets generally choose a place with a sanitary environment and a sunny direction as its residence. Crickets are sensitive and clever. They will hear even the slightest footsteps of people and immediately escape into their caves.
But there are ways to lure it out of the cave. You can put a piece of straw into the hole and swing it for a few times. The curious bird will enter the hole and use its sensitive tentacles to test the situation, and then crawl out. This way you can catch it.
But if you fail to catch it using straw as bait for the first time, it will be difficult to catch it this way in the future. At this time, you can use a glass of water to wash it out.
In short, the cricket's shelter is far superior to that of all other animals, except man, who excels him in the art of building dwellings. After introducing the situation of cricket caves, now let’s take a look at how crickets lay eggs.
If you want to watch crickets lay eggs, all it takes is a little patience and no expense on preparation. Buffon turned this patience into a genius.
I think this is a bit of an exaggeration, and it would be better to call it the most valuable quality of an observer. In April or May at the latest, we cage country crickets in pairs in pots filled with subsoil.
The food given to them is lettuce leaves. To keep food fresh, change it every once in a while.
To prevent crickets from escaping, cover the pot with a glass plate. With this simple device, we can obtain a lot of very meaningful information.
If necessary, a cage made of high-quality metal mesh can be used as an auxiliary device. The situation in the metal cage will be introduced to you later.
Now let’s observe the spawning process. We need to be extremely vigilant, otherwise we will miss the opportunity to witness crickets laying eggs with our own eyes. In the first week of June, my unremitting observation work began to bear satisfactory results. I suddenly saw a female cricket standing there motionless, with her ovipositing tube inserted vertically into the soil.
It ignored my impolite peeking behavior at all and just stayed at one point for a long time. Finally, it pulled out its ovipositor, pulled it casually a few times, and felt away the traces of the hole.
It rested for a while, then moved to another location and started inserting the ovipositor into the soil again. It inserted it here and there, and all the places that could be used to lay eggs were available on demand. After four hours, the egg laying seemed to be over, but in order to be more safe, I waited patiently for two more days.
After two days, I began to search the soil for eggs. The eggs are straw yellow, about three millimeters long, and cylindrical in shape.
The eggs are inserted vertically into the soil one by one, not touching each other, but very close to each other. In order to find out how many eggs a female cricket lays each time, I used a magnifying glass to carefully observe the pile of soil for a long time. Based on the observed results, I estimated that each female cricket lays approximately fifteen or six hundred eggs. , such a large family will definitely undergo large-scale layoffs in a short period of time.
The cricket egg itself is an exquisite little mechanical system. When the larvae hatch, the egg shell is like a white tube with a very neat round hole on the top and a round cap along the edge of the hole, which becomes a lid.
Instead of being blindly pushed up by a newborn or destroyed with scissors, the lid opens automatically along a specially prepared texture and its fragile lines. We should have a good understanding of this wonderful incubation process.
About two weeks after laying the eggs, two large black and red dots appear on the front end of the egg shell. This is the prototype of the eyes. Slightly forward of these two origins, that is, at the top of the cylinder, a slender micro-shaped annular washer appears. This is the fracture line in the process of being formed.
Soon, through the translucent egg shell, you can see all parts of the body of the little animal inside. At this time, you need to pay extra attention and increase the time and frequency of observations, especially in the morning.
Good luck always favors those who are patient. The hard work I put in finally paid off satisfactorily.
After some exquisite processing, the micro-shaped gasket has been woven into a line with very low resistance. At this time, the little life in the egg presses its forehead, and the egg cover is covered along its periphery. Lift it up, then set it aside. The cricket came out of the egg shell, like a little monster popping out of a doll.
Cricket is born wearing a coat. But it takes off this coat at the opening of the egg shell.
At this time it was all gray and white. After fighting against the mud covering its body and sweeping away obstacles, it emerged from the ground.
But at this time it was still very thin, about the size of a flea. This is a challenge for its survival, but fortunately it is very agile.
I was afraid that I could not take good care of these little guys, so I put them in my garden. Unexpectedly, all the crickets in my garden were wiped out by ants and other nasty insects. I had no choice but to go outside the garden to continue observing and understanding the crickets.
One day in August, I saw on a piece of grass that the little cricket had grown larger, and the white when it was born had turned into black. At this time it has no fixed abode.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also here.
4. Praise for Crickets
Cricket Articles/Sun Xiangli The coolness of autumn is getting stronger day by day, and the autumn insects hiding in the shadows emit a beautiful chorus with high and low tones. A slightly sad autumn song is performed, and Cricket is undoubtedly a particularly outstanding singer.
In people's opinion, they are naturally aggressive, with their gray-brown bodies and slender antennae, and their strong and thick hind legs giving them the instinct to jump. After gnawing at the roots of plants, they crossed the road again, crowding under the dim street lights and in front of people's homes. Under the trampling of pedestrians intentionally or unintentionally, their silent dead bodies lay on both sides of the street, but the brave and good-fighting ones The insect family was still jumping around the roadside, but their beautiful serenade could not be heard. Several children often picked them up and put them into bottles, maybe letting them fight. This went on for many days.
This is what I saw last fall. For me, the rustling chirping of crickets is poetic only in the fields and beside the farm stove. When I was a child, I would hear their low hum when I sat in front of the stove and lit the firewood. The adults called it crickets, and they kept chirping from dusk until late at night. I looked left and right, but they were nowhere to be seen.
"The Book of Songs·Tang Feng" says: "When crickets are in the hall, the year is over." "Mo" means "twilight". When the crickets are singing in front of the hall, it is already the end of the year and the weather is cold. "The Book of Songs·Bin Feng" says: "July is outdoors, August is in the house, September is at home, and in October crickets come under my bed."
October is already the end of autumn, and they are afraid of the coolness of autumn. And hide under people's beds. Living in my hometown, especially in autumn and winter, I often feel the silence around me. Only the creatures of nature make sweet sounds, but most of them sing during the day. After people turn off the lights, there are only crickets in the silent village. Screaming, singing alone in the cold dark night, but at that time, I only felt the elegance and joy of the scream, as if singing a beautiful lullaby to accompany me to sleep in the terrifying night.
Now I understand why people call them crickets, because they can all sing sweet songs. The ancients called crickets the weavers, perhaps because they encouraged the weavers to weave at night.
When night falls, their cries are carried into the window of the Weaver Girl by the autumn wind. The Weaver Girl may be disturbed by sadness and toss and turn, unable to sleep, so she gets up in her clothes and weaves diligently until dawn. . The crickets singing outside the desolate and quiet window may be filled with the sadness of late autumn, while the weaver girl inside the room is spinning under the dim candlelight, how lonely it must be.
The two lonely lives pitied each other at this time. The sound of machines and the nocturne intersected under the bright autumn moon, and the cold stars twinkled in the sky. Song Dynasty poets Zhang Gongfu and Jiang Kui collaborated on the poems. Jiang Kui said in the preface to "Qitian Le": "Bingchen and Zhang Gongfu met for a drink in Zhang Dake's hall and heard the sound of crickets on the wall. Gongfu made an appointment with Yu Tongfu to teach the singers. .
The work is done first, and the words are very beautiful; I wander among the jasmine flowers, look up at the autumn moon, and think about it, and I also call it crickets, good at fighting.
If you are good at it, you may get three to two hundred thousand yuan, and you can carve an elephant's tooth into a building to store it. " Zhang Gongfu's "Man Ting Fang·Chu Zhi'er" says: The moon washes the tall trees, revealing the turbulent grass, and the treasure hairpin. The autumn is deep outside the building.
Earth flowers line the green, and fireflies fall into the shade of the wall. Listen quietly to the intermittent sound of the cold, with a faint rhyme, and a sad and sad voice.
Strive for a partner, diligently persuade the weaver, and promote the dawn to break the scheme. I remember when I was a child, I called the lamp to fill the acupuncture points and followed the sound with my steps.
Let’s be covered in flowers and shadows, pursuing alone. Take them to the Huatang to play and fight. The pavilions are small and the cages are clever and made of gold.
Don’t talk about it today. From under the bed of the canal, I can hear the solitary singing in the cool night. The poet describes the desolate cry of the weaver on a moonlit night in late autumn. Du Fu's poem "Promoting the Weaving" once described this sound as "sad and urgent", and the cry of the weaver is just asking for a lover or urging the weaver to weave.
The scene of catching and fighting crickets in his childhood came to mind again, but he did not want to talk about it anymore, because what he heard at this time was the lonely lament of the weaver. Jiang Kui did not write and imitate the expression of Jiu Zhi. He got inspiration from the whine of Jiu Zhi. The lyrics of "Qi Letian" said: Yu Lang first recited "Ode to Sorrow" by himself, and even heard the whispers.
The copper pavilion wet with dew and the moss invading the stone well are all places where I once listened. The mournful voice sounds like a complaint, and the woman who is thinking about her has no sleep, and is looking for an opportunity.
Ququ Pingshan, how emotional is it to be alone in the cool night? The dark rain is blowing again at the west window, for whom is it intermittent and harmonious? Waiting in the palace to welcome the autumn, leaving the palace to hang the moon, there are countless sorrows. The poem "Bin" is about laughing and calling the lamp while the fence is falling, and the children of the world are laughing.
Written on the piano wire, each sound becomes more painful. Here, the whine of the weaver is intertwined with the groans of friends, the sound of machines, pounding of clothes, and the sound of strings, forming a sad ensemble.
In fact, the chirping of autumn insects does not mean sadness, but the poet is sad in his heart. Although both poems contain the natural joy of children catching crickets, they are more desolate, which also makes the poet deeply lament the contrast between the past and the present.
Wang Renyu's "The Legacy of Kaiyuan Tianbao" said: "Every autumn, the concubines and concubines in the palace would close the crickets in small gold cages, place them beside pillows, and listen to their sounds at night. The people competed to imitate them."
p>
It can be seen that both the court and the people love their singing, which reminds me of the nightingale singing at night. Night is supposed to be a time for all living things to rest, especially in autumn and winter. The cool air permeates the surroundings. Even the moonlight and starlight are cold, intimidating the hearts of every living being. Suddenly everything is silent, and suddenly there is a chirping of a cricket. , responded to the calm atmosphere, wandering between the sky and people's houses.
This cry lasted for a long time. If it were during the day, it would be like a whisper, but at night, it would be unusually loud and clear. I have tried to catch this little bug many times, but at that time I was confused and ignorant. I didn’t know whether they were hiding in the thick grass or in the cracks of the wall or the mound. Every time, my efforts were in vain.
When I opened the book, I saw "Promoting Weaving" written by Pu Songling. The twists and turns of the story contain the bitterness of the fate of the characters. A little cricket even surpassed the life and death of the lower class people. Although this is just a fictional story, it contains the harshness of the feudal ruling class and the suffering of the people.
Maybe crickets are not good at fighting, but they have to be put into the utensils and bite helplessly. The chirping at that time is the real sad sound, and in the end they lie panting in the narrow space. inside. Fabre talked about a kind of Italian cricket in "Insects", "It is slender, thin, pale, almost completely white, which is suitable for the habit of nocturnal activities."
"From July to In October, they start singing at sunset and continue singing until midnight. It is a beautiful concert. "This kind of cricket.
