In the early morning of winter, the mist on the mountainside of Bawangling Ling lingered. Li Wenyong, a 50-year-old member of the Hainan Gibbon Monitoring Team, looked up and quietly waited for the first ape song to sound. "Uh-huh—" For him, only by hearing this long, clear whistle-like sound did the day really begin.

Day after day ape chirping is not only a kind greeting like an old neighbor, but also hides the "genetic code" of Hainan gibbons. In the past few decades, generations of Hainan gibbon monitoring and researchers, including Li Wenyong, have carried traditional acoustic monitoring equipment to collect first-hand ape song data across mountains and mountains. Nowadays, with the upgrading of technical means, researchers can not only monitor apes in real time thousands of miles away, but even begin to try to "translate" the joys and sorrows contained in each ape sound.

A few short "tweets", mixed with a low "grunt", like a small whisper and a shallow chant, and then gently tapped the eardrum. In the central cities and counties of Hainan, people are often not woken up in the morning by alarm clocks, but by the sound of birdsong from different directions with different intensities.

In mid-air, on the trees, in the fields, in the tidal flats, in the park, each kind of bird has its own "song platform", which is sometimes accompanied by insects, sometimes overshadowed by the sound of the wind, singing from spring to winter, from the coast to the mountains.

The birds chirp as they fly, and the "bird chasers" chase their shadows. Four hours flowed, every year to the appointment, a long time, even one by one also practiced the special skill of listening to the sound and distinguishing birds.

Among the poems related to the sound of frogs, it is widely recited that the "rice flowers say good years in the fragrance of rice flowers, and listen to the sound of frogs".

In the eyes of the lyricists, this is a harvest scene of rice flowers and frogs singing, while Wang Jichao, deputy dean and professor of the School of Life Sciences of Hainan Normal University, pays more attention to the frog's singing behavior.

Animals in nature have a variety of ways of communicating, and mammals and birds can transmit information through sound. Wang Jichao, who has long studied amphibian and reptile ecology, also hypothesized that individual frogs may also transmit specific information to other individuals through their song.

In order to confirm this conjecture, Wang Jichao has been intoxicated by the sound of frogs for ten years, becoming one of the few "frog listeners" in China who studies frogs " to "speak".
