Why did the ancients like singing insects?

In fact, the ancient people's love for singing insects was related to the social nightlife at that time. In that era when there was no mobile phone, no circle of friends, no online games, and no TV movies, at night, except for insects, there were only the sounds of animals.

Animals are relatively large. In ancient times, there were many animals, so we could know their shapes. However, many insects only listen to their voices, but we can't see their things. So sometimes it feels good to listen to their voices, but we don't know how they live, which inevitably leads to many things.

For example, cicada, which is loved by many literati, is praised by many poems for its eating and drinking dew and upright style. Because they don't know that cicadas actually feed on tree sap and endanger the owners of big trees, but no one studied bugs at that time, so they liked it.

Besides cicadas, there is another kind of cricket. In ancient times, cricket fighting had not developed, so this kind of cricket only grew in the wild. No one knows what that screaming bug looks like. I always feel that such a neutral voice must be a magical existence, so I fell in love with it inexplicably before I met this deity.

In ancient times, there was little entertainment and little nightlife. People who really know what bugs look like, although they don't like it, can't express it. The poet who happened to go to the countryside to play a farmhouse music felt strange when he heard those bugs, so he began to show off the wonderful sounds he had never heard before.

Just like the city people who play farmhouse music now, they are also very novel about things they have never seen before, which is also the recorded reason why the ancients like insects-because people who really live in the lower class hate insects, first because of noise, but also because of pests.
