2. Idioms or words about insects
Idioms about insects are mostly from ancient China idioms, some of which are different from those commonly used now, and even rarely known to modern people.
This paper lists such representative idioms and explains the names of insects with various materials. This is another name for cicada. Spine is a kind of cicada, with a small body, a bluish green back and a crisp and mellow voice.
"Boiling soup" refers to cicada singing and boiling soup rolling, which means disturbing people. The "sting" in this idiom is different from the previous idiom, and it should be the abbreviation of "sting mantis".
"Leave an axe" means "gladiator axe". "Mantis axe" is the front foot of mantis, so it is named because it is often held high like a man holding an axe.
"Weifeng" refers to the thorn of a hedgehog. The metaphor of "killing an axe at a charge" is weak.
Cicada is a kind of cicada, with small body, square head, wide forehead and patterns. "A cicada's head flies with a moth's eyebrow" describes the beauty of a woman's face.
Mayflies shake trees. Mayflies are big ants. The "midge" here refers to the "salamander", that is, the larva of the longicorn beetle.
In modern times, "grubs" generally refer to grubs, that is, the larvae of scarabs. "Chu waist collar" describes a woman with a slim figure and a white neck.
Butterflies complain that "flies" refer to crickets or locusts. "Butterfly is bitter and sad" is a metaphor for homesickness.
In the name of modern entomology, "Hemiptera" is a rare insect in China. Frog acyl chicken is a midge or small insect that moves on wine vinegar or sour wine.
"Well frog acyl chicken" is a metaphor for poor vision and shallow knowledge. Moths attach themselves to bees. Here, moths communicate with ants.
"Honeycomb with moths" refers to gathering together like ants and bees to describe the morphological characteristics of insects in China idioms. Some Chinese idioms clearly apply the morphological characteristics of some insects, such as body shape, body color, head shape, compound eyes, beak, tentacles, wings, feet and so on. It is not clear what insects or parts are used in a few idioms related to insects.
Textual research and summary are as follows. Most of the insects in China's idioms are small, indicating insignificant people and things, and some of them are overreaching.
Such as "flies shake trees", "flies have small profits", "flies have snail names", "mosquitoes fly over mountains" and "mosquitoes fly over ears". Most of the bees in Hymenoptera have a narrow line between their breasts and abdomen, which is called "thin waist", which is a metaphor for people's slender or thin posture in idioms.
Such as "bee waist cuts back", "bee waist ape back" and "bee waist crane knee". The body color of Anoplophora longicorn larvae is white, which is used in idioms to describe the whitening of women's necks.
Such as "Chu waist collar". A cicada with a wide forehead is used to describe a woman's face in idioms.
Such as "a cicada's head flies a moth's eyebrow" The compound eye of the compound eye wasp is prominent, and there is a thorn at the end of the abdomen. Idioms are used to describe people's fierce looks, ugliness and fierce temperament.
For example, The Buzz of Bees. The mouthparts of the beak cicada are sucking mouthparts, and the lower lip is specialized as a beak tube, which contains specialized oral needles of the upper and lower jaws. Usually the beak is close to the chest and abdomen, like the drooping part of the ancient crown belt after knotting under the chin.
This is the meaning of the word "cicada" in the idiom "cicada and crab". The metaphor of "cicada and crab" is contradictory or not worthy of the name.
The "moth eyebrow" in the antenna idiom "cicada-headed moth eyebrow" originally refers to the slender arc antenna of moths, which is a metaphor for the beautiful eyebrows of women. Winged cicadas have light, thin and transparent wings.
The "cicada slough shirt" in the idiom "cicada slough shirt" refers to clothes made of thin silk. "cicada unlined upper garment forest belt" is a metaphor for elegant and gorgeous clothes; "Cicada is the most important, and hordes are the least important" describes the confusion between right and wrong.
The front foot of the mantis is a scratching foot, which looks very powerful, but it is naturally dwarfed by its powerful strength. The idioms "Feng Wei's axe", "mantis wheel" and "mantis arm blocking the car" all refer to mantis's front foot, which are all metaphors of overreaching.
Other idioms include "(mosquito) cilia", "insect nest mosquito cilia" and "mantis wheel". "Mosquito Cilia" or "Cilia" is also called "Mosquito Eyebrows".
In fact, mosquitoes have no real eyelashes or eyebrows. "Mosquito cilia in a snipe's nest" is just a legend, and "mosquito cilia" or "mosquito eyebrows" were just invented by the ancients to describe an extremely narrow place.
If there must be "mosquito cilia" or "mosquito eyebrows", it can only refer to the bristle cluster above the mosquito compound eye. Biological characteristics of insects in Chinese idioms The biological characteristics of insects used in Chinese idioms include metamorphosis, feeding habits, feeding patterns, clustering, tropism, nesting, cocoon formation, vocalization, luminescence, self-defense, longevity, spawning places and ways, etc.
Metamorphic insects go through several molting and metamorphosis in their lifetime. The idiom "a cicada sheds its shell" means that a cicada nymph sheds its skin and becomes an adult to get rid of its opponent's pursuit; "Spider swimming" is a metaphor to achieve skilled skills through the spider's swimming net and the deformation of cicada.
Eating mantis is a famous carnivorous insect, and idioms such as "mantis catches cicada, yellowbird comes last" reflect this from the side; Some insects are saprophytic, so there is the idiom "saprophytic". Now it is said that there must be an internal reason for the disaster. Feeding method: the mouthparts of silkworm larvae are chewy and can bite mulberry leaves bit by bit, so the idiom "whale-eating" describes that they gradually devour the interests of others like silkworms; Some insects, such as midges, can drill wood to make fire, which is reflected in the idiom "rats bite people to eat", while "giant midges" describe traitors, and "midges" in "biting the country and harming the people" refer to acts that endanger the country; Cicada's mouthparts are absorptive, so it can only suck in liquid food, and can't munch on the branches and leaves of trees. The ancients thought that cicadas who only drank dew must have an empty stomach and small intestine like turtles who had not eaten for a long time, so they used "cicada's stomach and turtle's intestines" to compare hunger and poverty.
Some insects, especially social insects, tend to gather in large numbers. Idioms are used to describe the gathering of people, such as "gathering ants", "gathering ants" and "gathering ants". There are various tendencies to seek insects sexually, and these tendencies are also reflected in China's idioms, such as "attaching to an ant", "ants attaching to a fly", "fish repelling flies", "chasing a smelly husband" and "attracting bees to attract butterflies".
Some of them are also related to the eating habits of insects. Nesting Some insects, especially social insects, build nests.
Soil-dwelling termites nest in soil, which will lead to cavities in dams and endanger their safety. This idiom is used to describe that if you don't pay attention to small problems, it will lead to great disaster.
Cocoon making Some insects can make cocoons, such as silkworms, which have been used since ancient times. The idiom "make a cocoon and bind yourself" means that people are troubled and trapped by themselves; The metaphor of "cocoon peeling and spinning" is based on smoothness.

6. Poems and words about animals and insects
| For example. At midnight, when I was lying there and couldn't even hear the sound of an insect, the moon in the mountains came into my door with her pure light. "(Han Yushan Stone >) describes a silent night. [There is a wind of a startled bird on the tree. Exposing grass and crying cold worms. "(Dai Shulun changed into an old friend in a country inn >) This is a metaphor for passing guests staying at night. 【 Spring blossoms tonight, and the sound of insects is fresh through the green window screen. "(Liu's Moonlight) Draw a picture full of spring! Silkworms sing that silkworms in spring will weave until they die. Candles turned to ashes and tears began to dry up "(Li Shangyin has no title >). It is said that sericulture was initiated by Luo Zu in the Yellow Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. It has a history of more than 5200 years. In a word, silkworms are full of troubles and have made great contributions to mankind. The poet expressed his feelings with the famous sentence "Spring silkworms die, night candles burn their wick", and expressed his ambition of "riding an old horse" and his heart of "doing his best". Zhang Jitian's poem "Going Home" in the Tang Dynasty: [Wild silkworms don't take cocoons. Autumn moths are born among leaves. ] describes the phenomenon of silkworm pupation in cocoon. The emergence period of cicadas is mostly in summer. Therefore, there are cicadas singing empty mulberry leaves. Cold in August (Wang Changling's first song >). The male cicada has vocal organs on both sides of the ventral base. It relies on a vibrating sounder to sing cicadas. If there is dew or heavy rain in the morning, the cicada will stop singing. The cicada will pause. So, there is [you left. The river is high in front of my door, and the cicada is dumb on the exposed branches "(Li Shangyin's Falling Flowers). | Although there is [leaning on Chai Men, I listen to the cicada singing in the evening breeze] (Wang Wei's "A Book to Leave a Business in Wangchuan") to express the poet's leisure. But there are also some poems that express the poet's lofty and thoughtful feelings through cicadas. For example, cicadas are singing in the west. "Southern Crown Guests Think Deep" (Luo, Prison Cicada >). The author's moral festival is vividly described in his preface, comparable to cicada! | 【 Tonight, in the chilling sunset-the wind cicadas are singing on my heart 】 (Meng Haoran sends Qin Zhong to people far away) expresses the poet's thoughts for friends far away. Dai Shulun painted cicada > poem: [Drinking exposes He Jie. Sing longer lasting appeal. There are thousands of trees in the sunset. Mantis has nowhere to hide. It can be regarded as an artistic representation of the idiom "mantis catches cicada, yellowbird comes last". | Dream Butterfly | Zhuang Zhou Dream Butterfly has become an important theme for literati to express their feelings through things. Butterfly dream has also become synonymous with dreams. | Du Fu's two "Qujiang" poems say: [Piercing butterflies is a deep insight. Dragonflies fly slowly] Butterflies fly in the flowers for food, mating, laying eggs, and laying eggs with water. It's like flying at the touch of a button The description is very vivid. | Xie Yi in the Northern Song Dynasty has a description in the middle of "In the Butterfly": [Crazy catkins are sometimes seen. Where can I find pear flowers? | Two Xugong Stores in Yangwanli New Town in Southern Song Dynasty > As the poem says: 【 Children scramble to chase Huang Die. Flying into cauliflower is nowhere to be found. | Floating fireflies | [Silver candle Qiu Guang cold painting screen. Light Luo fan flies at fireflies "(Du Muqiu Xi >). This is a punch line in Tang poetry. It has long been known. Fireflies belong to COLEOPTERA Fireflies. Larvae often feed on insects in rotten grass, so there is a mistake that "rotten grass is a firefly" Fireflies have the habit of staying up all night, so there is a firefly flying over the throne, meditating in the twilight. He will stretch the wick to the end, but he still can't sleep. ] (Bai Juyi's Song of Eternal Sorrow >). It's about Emperor Tang Ming thinking about Yang Yuhuan at night. | Insect control | Dai Shulun's "Wasteland Ci" in Tang Dynasty: [Young migratory locusts arrive in Xinhe.

In Songkhla, no seedlings are empty. "| There is a poem by Su Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty: [It is warm in spring this year. There are more cockroaches on the ground than on the earth. Once you worry, once you spread your wings, you won't vomit. There is also a famous saying in Guo Dun in the Ming Dynasty: 【 The migratory locust covers the sky, and the sky is colorless. The Wild Old Man is the earliest historical collection of insect culture scattered among the people in China, including poems about cicadas, butterflies, mosquitoes, flies, moths, ants, locusts, bees, crickets, inchworms, gladiators and other insects. Later, poems and songs about insects kept appearing in poems, such as The Book of Songs, National Style and July more than 2,000 years ago: I read in the book, "In May, I moved my stock; In June, I shake my feathers; In July, I was in the wild; In August, I was in the house; In October, I got crickets under my bed, and Zuo Si's Wei Du Fu. And "Rong Qing cotton curtain. It's no different from cobwebs. Weak pawn chain mail. This is no different from the mantis catching cicadas and the yellowbird catching the back. The ancient Yang Xiong's "The Skill of Carving Insects". Make a strong man do it without doing it ",and Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica has more than 70 vivid descriptions about insect drugs. For example, the dung beetle [its insect has deep eyes and a high nose. Looks like Hu. It has black armor. It looks like a soldier, so it is called dung beetles. General "and so on.

They can't come back. Bees want to die, too "and so on. It not only embodies a considerable scientific level, but also involves many materials for insect culture. According to China Ancient Agricultural Books. The earliest foreign knowledge about the stocking of white wax insects in ancient China was the English missionary N Terry galt. He described it in 165 1. Since then, the news has spread to Europe. W. Lockhart sent samples of Fraxinus pekinensis together with Fraxinus pekinensis from Shanghai to Britain on 1853.5438+09 13 for research. Ash has been investigated. It can be seen that insects have played a bridge role in international folk cultural exchanges long ago. There were many insects that decorated people's lives in obscurity in ancient times. For example, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, people raised cicadas for entertainment. Tao Ye Zhi records the custom of fighting for cicadas in Chang 'an in Tang Dynasty. It is called "Fairy Insect Club". Scarabs were used as decorations and toys seven or eight hundred years ago. [Scarab is green in color and shiny as gold, photographed by villagers and decorated with women's hair bands] Yizhou Local Records >: In the heart > It is recorded that [A can fly. Its color is like gold. Definitely a little turtle. Children often regard it as a game. Chitin worms are also used as decorations. Chen Changqi [Chitin worm. The back of the beetle is also green. They have wings under their armor, and they fly to the south of the country. People replaced them. People like to love each other.
