When I was a child, I liked to lie in front of my home, feel the bright moon breeze, the sparse stars and rain, listen to the magpies and cicadas, and the sound of frogs... With the advancement of urbanization, the city has become a "steel forest", the green space is getting smaller and smaller, listening to insects and birds in the city has become a luxury, but the sound of mosquitoes and flies has not decreased, annoying and annoying but there is nowhere to escape...
Insects are the most abundant group of insects on Earth, and there are more than 1 million species of insects known to mankind, almost all over the earth. However, with the change of urban ecology, many insects gradually disappear in the city. Scientists have spent 3 years systematically investigating and monitoring insects in Beijing: they found that within 30 kilometers of beijing's central city, every 5 kilometers closer to the city center reduced the number of species and 60% of individuals. The number of insect species is decreasing, but the number of pests of a single species is soaring.
<h1>Those who know the unrighteousness of their hands, take the spider</h1>
High temperatures, sewage, domestic waste, reduction of green area... It has destroyed the living environment of beneficial insects such as dragonflies and frogs, but has become a paradise for pests such as mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches and so on. While these "villains" are unscrupulously "committing crimes" in the city, the "hunters" hidden in the shadows in the city are silently "bringing these "villains" to justice.
Spider-Man, as Marvel's superhero, has always been the embodiment of justice, and after Iron Man and Captain America left, he shouldered the important responsibility of saving the Marvel Universe. Spider-Man has become the most beloved superhero after Iron Man and the US team, and the prototype of Spider-Man, Spider-Man, is also the embodiment of justice and the nemesis of pests. Li Shizhen described in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that "this insect sets up a web, and the object touches and then removes it, and those who know the unrighteousness of the hand are called spiders." "
The spider's hunting skills are quite rich, just like an experienced "hunter". Round spiders are good at laying down "tianluodi nets" waiting for the hook of prey, their nets are like an aerial filter, trapping insects that do not see filaments and are not strong in flight; jumping spiders are secretly observed in the dark, once the prey is close to 30 cm within 30 centimeters, they will pounce on lightning and directly take it down; crab spiders wait for prey on flowers similar to their body color; ground spiders that burrow in the soil build a silk crypt, and the hole has a live cover that opens at night, and if the prey passes, it will immediately rush out; the funnel spider weaves a funnel-like web. Insects fall into the net to cause vibrations, at this time slowly passing to take down the prey; meteor spiders rely on a meteor hammer to catch the past moths, once stuck, it is difficult to escape...
"The skynet is restored without leakage", and the spider's hunting techniques are diverse, leaving these pests with nowhere to escape. In ancient times, spiders were not only the embodiment of justice, but also the object of worship by many women.
<h1>Spider Beggar Qiao: "The Ming Dynasty formed a delicate web, try to compare Ah who is called Qiao Niang"</h1>
Legend has it that spiders were taught the secrets of weaving webs by weavers, so the webs woven by spiders are regular and beautiful. In the eyes of ancient women, this little thing was the messenger of the weaver girl, and if she could get the blessing of the spider, she would become a skillful lady. Therefore, at tanabata, the ancient women would put the spider in a small box, and when they waited until the next day, they would take it out and see whose spider knotted web was denser and rounder, and who would receive the blessing of the weaver girl.
The Southern Dynasty Liang Zongzong's "Chronicle of the Jingchu Years" said: "The seventh day of July is the night of the morning glory weaver girl's gathering. On the eve of the night, the women of the family knotted colorful wisps, wore seven-hole needles, or used gold and silver stones as needles, and Chen Guaguo was begged in the court. If there is a happy subnet on the melon, it is considered to be a sign. "
The Fifth Dynasty Wang Renyu's "Testament of Kaiyuan Tianbao" said: "On the seventh day of July, each one caught the spider in a small box, and when it was opened, it was a coincidence that the spider web was thin. The secret ones speak more skillfully, and the rare ones speak less skillfully. Folk do the same. "
The Song Dynasty Meng Yuanlao's "Tokyo Dream Record" said that the July Tanabata "with a small spider Inside the Hezi, the next day to see it, if the net is round is said to be a coincidence." "
Song Zhoumi's "Chronicle of the Qianchun Years" said: "How long it takes to store a small spider inside and wait for the denseness of the knotted web." "
Tian Rucheng of the Ming Dynasty said in "The Joys of the Xi Dynasty" that Qixi "holds spiders in small boxes, and the next morning they look at the dense webs and think that they are coincidental." "
As a result, the spider was inexplicably tied to the Tanabata Festival. Du Fu wrote in "Morning Glory Weaver Girl" that "spider silk is a small person, curved and falling in the melon fruit"; Dou often depicts in "Qixi": "The dew plate flowers and water look at the three stars, as if nothingness is a séance." The slanted man did not sleep at all times, and a few cobwebs went downwind. Liu Yanshi's Qixi Song, also a poet of the Tang Dynasty, has: "The blue sky dew is wet again, and the flowers are prayed for spider silk." "
Imagine if you sent your girlfriend a spider at Tanabata...
<h1>Spider set and Pepsi hi</h1>
Sending a spider to their girlfriend on Tanabata doesn't know what will happen, but they should be very happy to give it to the ancients. Spiders were also the embodiment of auspiciousness and festivity in ancient times, because their eight legs hung on spider silk and looked like the Chinese character "喜", so the ancients also called spiders "喜子". Guo Pu's "Erya Notes" of the Jin Dynasty says that "the little spider has long feet, commonly known as Xizi".
In fact, as early as 2,000 years ago in the Han Dynasty, there was a folk proverb about "spider collection and Pepsi Xi", and people believed that spider clusters were a sign of a good year. From today's scientific point of view, if there are a large number of spiders in the field, the pests will be relatively reduced, so it will bring better harvests to the crops, so the spider is a symbol of festivity and harvest. In the Tang Dynasty, spiders were regarded as auspicious insects.
In 712 AD, one morning in August of the second year of Tang Ruizong Jingyun, Zhang Wencheng, the temple of Hongxu Temple, got up early to go to work, and when he walked out of his bedroom, suddenly a large chicken as big as a chestnut was suspended from the door beam, just hanging in front of his eyes, normal people should be frightened on the spot at this time, but Lao Zhang suddenly danced with joy, and shouted "Happy insects descend from heaven, happy to descend from heaven...", and sure enough, after that, the emperor issued an edict to pardon the world and give hundreds of officials a rank. Later, this kind of Rhetto, which specializes in painting spider webs, was also produced. The name is "Joy Descends from Heaven".
Spiders, as a creature that existed 200 million years ago, have flourished before the phenomenon of higher plants blooming and ripening on the earth, and they are longer than dinosaurs. They have survived through hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain, vicissitudes and changes. In both the city and the countryside, indoors or outdoors, as long as you pay a little attention, you can see the traces of these small things, which are either netted in the corner treetops or quietly landed on you with a filament. Whether you like them or hate them, not bothering them is the best thing for them.
