Summary
DescriptionZhongsi Yanqing (螽斯衍庆) Shouqian.jpg |
English: In olden (ancient) times, Chinese children were recorded to have loved to catch grasshoppers and raise them in small cages during the summer and autumn. The Chinese katydid or long-horned grasshopper has its own “musical instrument” and makes “music” by rubbing its wings together.
In the context of Chinese culture grasshoppers are associated with large families, as grasshoppers like to gather together, similar to an extended family, and they reproduce in large numbers. This is why in Confucianism the grasshopper was, therefore, seen as a symbol of fertility and procreation to traditional Chinese families and clans that wished for many descendants, often in the form of sons and grandsons, to continue the ancestral lineage and to carry out ancestor worship after they're dead. |
