CATDOLL : CATDOLL: A Chinese allegorical saying about a cicada climbing a tree

1. The allegorical saying about cicadas climbing trees

Dear Baidu user, hello.

This should be the answer for you.

Cicadas climbed the tree.

Thief Calling

2. What trees do cicadas usually like to climb?

Willow, poplar, sycamore,

3. What medicinal herbs can be planted to raise cicadas?

To breed golden cicadas, you don't need to plant medicinal herbs, but trees. Apple, peach, pear, willow, poplar, elm, etc. are all fine. The eggs need to be incubated artificially, which requires some high technology, and it is the most technically intensive place. After hatching, bury them at the roots of the tree. When the cicadas come out, wrap tape or plastic tape around the trunk to prevent the golden cicadas from climbing up the tree. They will gather under the tape and you can harvest them as you like.

4. There are N ways to catch cicadas. How many do you know?

1) The method of catching cicadas by wrapping tape around trees: This is the main method used by cicada farms to harvest cicada products, and it is also a trick to prevent cicadas from escaping upwards. After two or three years of growth, most nymphs enter the mature stage in summer. When the soil is soft after rain, they will dig holes and climb up trees. To prevent cicadas from escaping, cicada farmers will wrap tape around tree trunks. Because the tape is very slippery, it can prevent cicadas from climbing up. At night, they can catch cicadas by "waiting for them". Don't underestimate this thin layer of tape. For cicadas, it is like a "net of heaven and earth". If cicadas escape to this place, they will have no way to escape. This is also an effective method that people have thought about for a long time. It can be said that it is a high wisdom of mankind to defeat cicadas. From a technical point of view, the most suitable height of this layer of tape is about 1 meter. If it is pasted too low, it will make the cicada catcher bend over frequently and feel uncomfortable. It should not be pasted too high. If it exceeds 2 meters, the cicada may not be able to climb to the tape and will fly away. The cicadas will think that if they shed their shells at a height below one meter, they are in danger and will try to climb higher. Although the one-meter-high tape can completely prevent the cicadas from escaping, it may not be able to prevent them from molting. If you don't come to harvest them after two or three hours, the cicadas will also molt and fly away.

(2) Find cicada holes: Cicadas generally live 0.3 to 0.5 meters underground. They dig holes in advance to crawl up in order to emerge at night. People can catch cicadas through these holes before dark. The hole is small and thin. When you touch the hole with your finger, the soil will fall off, revealing a relatively large hole. Put your finger in and you will touch the cicada. At this time, you should fish the cicada out with grass or dig it out with a shovel. Otherwise, the cicada will retreat quickly and use the soil wall method to seal the hole, making it difficult to catch it. If the hole is large and smooth, it is often a hole abandoned after the cicada emerged. Do not use your finger to explore it. You may touch a toad or a snake, which will scare you sick.

(3) Take the cicada out of the hole

After a heavy rain in late June or July, experienced cicada catchers will take a small shovel and look for cicadas around trees. Because cicada pupae are hidden in the mud under the trees, look carefully to see if there are some pinhole-sized holes under the big trees. If there are holes that break when you touch them lightly, the cicada pupae are hiding inside. If you reach down with a grass root or a thin branch, it will grab it, thinking it is a tree root. Then you will feel the weight on the branch, and quickly lift it up, so that you can successfully "lift" the cicada pupa out of the hole. For cicada farms, if there is drought and no rain, the cicadas cannot emerge from the ground, so watering can be used to soften the soil to promote their emergence.

(4) Flooding the cicada cave and forcing it out

This is also an effective way to find unexcavated cicadas. Carefully search around trees where cicadas live or in the nearby grass, and you will find several small holes, which are the hiding places of cicadas. When you slowly pour water into these cicada holes, the cicadas will be forced to crawl out of the holes due to lack of oxygen due to flooding. If you wait for a long time and still can't find them, you can use a small branch to probe into the hole. The drowned cicadas will think that they have a life-saving straw and will obediently grab the branch and crawl out.

(5) Digging out the cicada's nest

The egg branches laid by wild cicadas contain an average of more than 100 eggs, and about 10 to 20 of them will eventually grow into cicadas. Since they are on the same egg branch, the hatched cicada ants will basically enter the soil at the same place. In addition, the range of activities of cicadas in the soil is small, so we can use a cicada hole to dig out the entire nest. After finding a cicada hole, use a shovel to dig along it, and you can dig out the cicada hole connected to it, and find other cicadas that have not been unearthed. Sometimes you can dig out dozens of cicadas. Digging a nest is a technical job. If you accidentally destroy the cicada hole during the digging process, it will be difficult to find the cicada hole connected to it.

(6) Flashlight shining on golden cicada

After dark, using a flashlight to shine on the tree and catch the cicadas that have already climbed up the tree is also a common method of catching cicadas. The brightness of the flashlight is not too important, but the light must be concentrated. Shine from near to far, from bottom to top, and from positive to negative. Follow the light and don't miss any tree or treetop, and you will see the cicadas. 7 to 9 p.m. is the peak time for cicadas to emerge, so the harvest is the greatest during this time period. Although the number of cicadas emerging after 9 p.m. will decrease, the number of people who shine on cicadas will also decrease, and the harvest will not decrease too much. After 12 p.m., the number of cicadas emerging is relatively small, so you can mainly shine on the treetops to catch the adults that have already shed their shells. The author has a little experience. If you see birds, snakes, or a few toads under the tree, there will most likely be cicadas on the tree, because cicadas are also their delicacy.

5. Golden cicadas are all over the tree, red snow is flying, all red is in love and green is not yet lush. Who is the ancient poet who wrote this poem?

Four palindrome poems about the four seasons written by Wu Jiangxue, a female poet in the Qing Dynasty:

---《Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter》---

Each poem uses only ten words, seven-character quatrains:

"Spring" poem: Orioles sing and willows play on the bank, and the moon is bright on a clear spring night.

"Summer" poem: Fragrant lotus, clear water, cool breeze, long summer days.

"Autumn" poem: In the autumn, the Chu geese roost on the sandbanks in the shallow water of the river.

"Winter" poem: The red stove is burning charcoal, keeping out the cold wind of winter.

Each of the above lines contains a seven-character quatrain, namely:

"spring"

Orioles sing on willow banks in the clear spring weather, willows sing on the bright moonlit night.

On a clear moonlit night in spring, willows are playing with the sound of orioles on the willow banks.

"summer"

The fragrant lotus and clear water move in the cool breeze, the movement of the water and the cool breeze bring a long summer.

During the long summer days, the cool breeze stirs the water, and the cool breeze stirs the water and brings out the fragrance of green lotus.

"Autumn"

In the autumn river, the Chu geese roost on the sandbanks, and the water flows shallowly.

Geese sleep on the sandbanks on the shallow water. Geese sleep on the sandbanks on the Chu River in autumn.

"winter"

The red stove with charcoal roasting in the cold wind, the charcoal roasting in the cold wind keeps out the winter.

In the heat of winter, the charcoal is roasted to protect against the cold wind. The charcoal is roasted red in the stove.

As long as you get one, you will get extra points for good ones!! Try to understand the meaning of one of these four poems. There are also things like explanations~~
