Is the metamorphosis of the cicada happy or painful? Why?

There is such a story in Zhuangzi that is, "Zi is not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?" Allusions.

Zhuangzi's is "The son is not me, I don't know the joy of fish?" ”

I have always felt that Zhuangzi's is a bit of a scoundrel, and I can't fully explain why.

I think that only I know whether a fish is happy or not, and others can never fully understand it.

Similarly, Is the metamorphosis of the cicada a pain or happiness?

And only he knows.

All we can do is speculate.

However, what is the significance of this conjecture?

What can you get inspired?

This is the purpose of our thinking.

People who think about this are happy, and the transformation of the cicada is happiness, rebirth, and a new page.

On the contrary, it will be painful to have no expectations for life, and I would rather never metamorphose, and always hide in that gray maggot shell.

Happy, because not seeing a single cicada said it does not molt. None of them regretted going back.

You ask the cicada, you don't ask how it knows, it doesn't know how to tell you, it doesn't tell you how you know...

Happy, because after three years in the ground, it finally came out, hehe.

What did Chan become of?

Anyway, why are you asking this question? It's too boring...

The three processes of cicada metamorphosis are latent, molting, and turning into a cicada. The general cicada eggs will lie underground for a few years after laying, by absorbing the nutrients of the roots to supplement themselves, slowly grow into cicada pupa, when the cicada pupae grow to the shell has obvious black lines, the cicada pupae at this time will run to the surface for shelling and transformation, in this process the cicada pupae will climb to the tree, the general cicada pupae will climb out of the upper body first, and after completely climbing out, it will stay in the tree for a period of time to make the wings become harder and firmer, which is conducive to flight.

Habits

The larvae of cicadas live in the soil and have a pair of strong digging forefeet. The sap of plant roots is sucked by the piercing and sucking mouthparts to weaken the tree, make the branches die, and affect the growth of the tree. Usually stay in the soil for a few years or even more than ten years, such as 3 years, 5 years, and 17 years, these numbers have one thing in common, they are all prime numbers.

This is because there are very few factors in prime numbers, and when they drill out of the soil, they can prevent them from drilling out with other cicadas and competing for territory and food.

When it is about to be feathered, it burrows out of the surface at dusk and at night, climbs on a tree, and then grabs the bark of the tree to molt and feather. When a black crack appears on the back of the cicada pupa, the molting process begins, the head comes out first, then the green body and wrinkled wings are revealed, and it stays for a moment to harden the wings and darken the color, and then it begins to take off. The whole process takes about an hour.

At the end of June, the larvae begin to emerge into adults, and the newly emerged cicadas are green and have a maximum lifespan of about 60 to 70 days. In late July, the female adults begin to lay eggs, and the peak oviposition is in early and mid-August, and the eggs are mostly laid on branches with a thickness of 4 to 5 mm. In summer, they make loud noises in the trees, suck the sap with a needle pricking mouthpiece, and the larvae inhabit the soil and suck the sap from the roots, which is harmful to the trees.

The cicada is a chrysalis from the cicada.

The cicada pupae have been lurking underground for 3 years, 5 years, and some even up to 17 years, while the life span of the cicada is only about 80 days.

Cicadas live in muddy water until they finally shed their shells and become adults, and when they turn into cicadas, they fly to high trees and drink only dew, which can be said to be muddy and unstained, as noble as a lotus. I have to sigh at the miracle of nature's creation, human beings can always discover this magic, and use this magic to bring changes to our lives!

Although life is fragile and short, it should be made more meaningful and worthwhile in order to prolong life.

The cicada's life is only 3 months, or even less, but he has to be bred in the soil for 17 years, he has not complained, but cherishes life even more, and uses the loudest sound to resound throughout the summer, so that the earth can feel its existence. No matter how short life is, we must live it well, live every day well, and leave the most precious memories to the world.

In the course of life, cicadas are singing in the trees and flying freely.

I didn't hesitate to endure in the soil for a few years to accumulate strength. Finally metamorphosed on a summer evening, so that it could fly freely and sing loudly. We should learn from cicadas, for our dreams, we must endure loneliness and accumulate strength in order to successfully realize our dreams.

Structurally, this sentence concludes the description from egg to larva and concludes the whole text. From the author's feelings, Qi Qing's sentence not only summarizes the life of the cicada, but also expresses the author's sigh, sympathy and love for the growth process of the cicada, the long and painful process.

Cicada is an essay written by the French writer Fabre, from his work "Insects". This article describes the characteristics of cicadas from two aspects: the burrows of cicadas and the eggs of cicadas.

This work is an insect biology work that summarizes the species, characteristics, habits and marriage habits of insects, records the real life of insects, expresses the spirituality of insects when they struggle for survival, and also records the motivation, life ambition, knowledge background, living conditions and so on of Fabre's obsession with insect research.

The author integrates the colorful life of insects with his own life perception, and looks at insects with human nature, revealing the author's respect and love for life between the lines.
