Tang Liu Yanshi
Zi Chen quit the fire, and Shang Biao was already shocked.
The clouds harvest summer colors, and the leaves of the wood move in autumn.
In order to let the children understand the traditional Chinese twenty-four solar terms "Liqiu", satisfy the children's desire to explore, feel the secrets of nature, and have a deep understanding of nature. Ankang Green Qinba Environmental Protection Public Welfare Service Center carried out the "Liqiu" Festival Exploration Practice Activity in Xiangxi Cave, Ankang City, for more than 20 parent-child families participating in outdoor practice nature exploration. The whole activity was led by Mr. Wu of River Natural Aesthetics, and assisted by the staff of Green Qinba.
How much to know about solar terms 2021 · DA SHU
River natural aesthetics Teacher Wu explained the relevant knowledge of Liqiu to everyone. Liqiu is the thirteenth of the twenty-four solar terms, and the Big Dipper points to the southwest, and it falls on the seventh and ninth days of August in the Gregorian calendar every year. Autumn is the first festival of autumn and is the starting point of autumn. "Autumn" means that the summer goes to cool down, which means the beginning of autumn. In autumn, the plane tree must begin to fall leaves, so there is an idiom of "falling a leaf and knowing autumn". From a literal point of view, the word "autumn" consists of the word he and the word fire, which means that the valley is ripe. Autumn is the first festival of autumn, and autumn is from hot to cool, and then from cool to cold.

Three solar terms
One waits for the cool breeze to arrive; the second waits for the white dew; and the third waits for the cold cicadas to chirp. This means that after the autumn, people will feel cool when the wind blows, and the wind at this time is different from the hot wind in the summer. Then, there will be mist on the ground in the morning, and the cold cicadas that feel the shade and chirping in autumn will also begin to chirp.

At six o'clock in the afternoon of August 15, the night will rain and the autumn solstice, and the sound of cicadas tonight will begin to announce autumn. The phenological observation activity of Xiangxi Cave was carried out as scheduled, and the 8 parent-child families recruited arrived at the entrance of Xiangxi Cave Scenic Area in Ankang City on time to sign in.

Teacher Wu of Natural Aesthetics took everyone to observe the golden spiders, slugs, bamboo worms, silkworm moths, glazed butterflies, gall galls, alien ladybugs, tapping beetles, mud bees, deer moths, bean maidens, foam cicadas and so on in Xiangxi Cave. Wonderful review please continue to read on...
Teacher Wu of Natural Aesthetics led everyone to the depths of Xiangxi Cave to explore the secrets of nature. Teachers accompany the children throughout the journey to explore nature, and teachers who have problems help the children answer them one by one.
Bamboo twigs: Bamboo whips, belongs to the order Orthoptera under the winged suborder , named for its slender body , winged or wingless. The body is long and large , medium or large insect , generally ranging in length from 6 cm to 24 cm. Maximum 62.4 cm. The stick insect is slow to move, lying still on the branches during the day, and comes out at night to take leaves to fill the hunger. Stick insects are active at night, and during the day, they just stay quiet. Since they look very much like small branches, they are generally not spotted by enemies. The stick insect is cleverly disguised and is only spotted when crawling.
Deer moths: Small to medium-sized moths of the family Deer Moths, resembling spotted moths or wasps. The white spots on its wings are actually transparent, which is very beautiful.
Mud bees: Mud bees are a type of hunting bee whose females first camp in the nest, then look around for prey and bring them back to the nest for storage. Most of the mud bees nest in the soil, and we saw this mud bee pushing its head hard into the dirt.
Slugs: Many friends will recognize slugs as snails, but in fact, slugs are a mollusk that looks like a snail that has shed its shell. In fact, some experienced friends know that slugs are a good healing elixir, for some wounds bitten by centipedes can use slugs to anti-inflammatory, so it also exists in many medicinal values.
Golden Spider: Careful children have found a golden spider that lives in sunlight-exposed grass and wet areas, usually forming webs on grass or in the field.
Alien Ladybird: Careful children find an Alien Ladybird, in general, the name of the Ladybird is based on the pattern on the elytra, such as the Seven-Star Ladybird, the Twenty-Eight Star Ladybird and so on. Most ladybird markings, although individually different, are generally not much varied.
Quercus silkworm moth: chū (chū), is the ancient name of the Ailanthus tree, the quercus silkworm moth feeds on Ailanthus, but also harms the black oak, camphor tree, salt skin wood, walnut and so on. Adult silkworm moths have tanned wings, the most obvious feature of which is the 4-month-shaped translucent markings on the wing surface. The silkworm moth larvae are pests that can feed on a variety of plant leaves, or even eat them all.
This is what the silkworm moth looks like when it grows up.
Bean Lady: Petite in stature, with wings tied above her back when resting. A slender and weak flying insect with a body that resembles a small dragonfly, but is not a dragonfly. We found that its feet were white and very large. This is not the same as dragonflies.
Gall: Gall is a malformed tumor or protrusion that grows after the plant tissue is stimulated by the feeding or spawning of insects and other organisms, and the cells accelerate division and abnormal differentiation, they are the "house" of parasitic life, a kind of gall tumor, which refers to the abnormal development part of the plant body caused by insect egg laying parasitism.
Glass butterfly larvae: The glass butterfly is a very common butterfly in the Qinba Mountains, black and brown, and when the wings are flattened, a circle of blue bands can be seen, which is easy to identify. It overwinters as an adult, so it can often be seen in the early spring when the weather is clear, and it is often stopped on the trunk wound or on the ground, and rarely visits the flower. I have to say that this larva is very good-looking.

Percussion: Percussion is an insect with a narrow and long body shape, small to large, larger than the original taxon, strong body, gray and dark body color, and the surface of the body is mostly covered with fine hairs or scaly hairs, which form different flower spots or stripes.
Through the teacher's explanation and the child's observation, we found a lot of new insects. The ecological environment of Xiangxi Cave is very good, the species are very rich, and many of them are insects that we rarely see. If we look closely, we will find more.
After more than two hours of exploring and discovery, we were full of rewards. At this point, the Liqiu Natural Observation Practice Exploration Activity was successfully concluded.
Through this activity, the children deepened their understanding of the autumn festival, allowing the children to explore and discover nature from an early age, love animals and plants, and protect our river ecological environment. Solar terms are not only a tool for producing life, but also related to the feelings of our body and mind, following the laws of seasonal changes, and slowly finding a rhythm of living in harmony with ourselves and nature in this process, which is the best natural aesthetic education. Green Qinba will continue to adhere to this series of activities, so that more children can participate in our natural aesthetics outdoor practice observation activities. Let's look forward to the next solar term!
