After drinking a mouthful of tea, I started reading a book with a little excitement-Insects, which is a masterpiece handed down from ancient times by Fabres, an outstanding French entomologist and writer, and also an immortal work. It combines the author's lifelong research achievements and life feelings in one furnace, and expresses the author's unique vision of life in the description of various insects, daily life habits and characteristics. Between the lines is full of the author's own respect and love for life.
The publication of this book is regarded as the birth of animal psychology. The Story of Insects is not only a scientific masterpiece to study insects, but also a magnificent poem to eulogize life. Fabres devoted his life to the insect world, observing and experimenting with insects in the natural environment, and truly recording their instincts and habits. He studied hard and sacrificed his private time to observe insects.
Entomology describes the life of insects in detail, such as spiders, bees, mantises, scorpions, cicadas, beetles, crickets and so on. This has made great contributions to later generations and made human society move towards modern civilization quickly.
It is a miracle that a person spends his whole life observing and studying "bugs"; It is a miracle that a person has written ten books for "bugs" in his life. And these books about "bugs" are actually reprinted and translated into more than 50 languages. Until a hundred years later, they will cause a sensation in the reading world again and again, which is a miracle among miracles.
It is such a miracle that I deeply feel that human beings are not an isolated existence. All living things on the earth, including spiders, wasps, scorpions and weevils, are in the same closely related system. Insects are also an indispensable link in the biological chain of the earth, and their lives should also be respected.
Moreover, this book is very readable. His writing is lively, his tone is relaxed and humorous, and he is full of interest. In the author's pen, the willow beetle looks like a miser, wearing a short dovetail dress that seems to be "short of cloth"; Little beetle "selfless dedication for future generations, heartbreaking for children";
And the little sparrow bitten by a poisonous spider will "eat happily, and if we feed it slowly, he will even cry like a baby" ... what a lovely niche! No wonder Mr. Lu Xun regards insects as a model of "talking about insect life"
Entomology is also very realistic. Those specific and detailed words make me feel the presence of magnifying glasses, humidity, stars and insect smells from time to time, which really makes people feel immersive. The figures of insects that I ignored for too long because of disgust, and their arrogant chirping, suddenly gathered together, I held my breath, and then, together with them, penetrated the darkness of my heart.
It was insects that made me like these little creatures again and found that they were not annoying. On the contrary, there are many lovely things. This is the story of insects, which shows me that insects are strikingly similar to us in many issues, such as life and death, labor and plunder. The Insect Story is different from the novel, it is the most basic fact, it is the loneliness and hardship of Fabres's life every day and night, lonely and quiet, almost isolated from the world.
Entomology is indeed a miracle. It is a life movement composed by Fabres, an outstanding representative of human beings, many ordinary people in nature, insects and a book that can never be read. At the critical moment when mankind is about to enter the new century and the earth is about to usher in the ecological era, such a miracle may provide us with more precious enlightenment.
Entomology is not only full of reverence for life, but also contains the spirit of seeking truth from facts, which gives me great inspiration: in life and study, we should learn from Fables' courage and perseverance in exploring the world and pursuing truth, and do everything with Fables' rigorous scientific spirit.
Insist on "accurately describing the observed facts, neither adding anything nor ignoring anything". We must persevere in everything, even if the conditions are difficult, we must persist in fighting for our ideals!
After reading Insects, I was fascinated by this book. It turns out that there are so many mysteries in the insect world. I know: how cicadas shed their shells in the morning; Dung beetles belongs to me how to roll a dung ball; How ants eat aphid secretions. It is also clear that "the son of a moth" is wrong. Bees catch caterpillars not as their own sons, but to arrange food for future generations.
The first time I read Insects, it somehow attracted me. This is a popular science book describing the birth, labor, hunting and death of insects. The text is plain, fresh and natural. Humorous narration makes people laugh ... humanized bugs appear, what a strange and interesting story! Fabres's Insect Story makes me feel like a dream. Those specific and detailed words make me feel the presence of magnifying glasses, humidity, stars and insect smells from time to time, as if I were there.
The figures of those insects that I neglected for too long, and their arrogant chirping, suddenly gathered together, and I held my breath. Then, with them, I penetrated the darkness inside. It was Fabres who showed me that insects are strikingly similar to us on many issues, such as life and death, labor and plunder. Entomology is not a world created by writers, it is different from novels, they are the most basic facts! Every day and night of Fabres's life,
It is lonely, quiet and almost isolated from the world. I looked up. At this moment, I really want to look up and treat the mystery of insects like a starry sky. It made me enter a vivid insect world for the first time.
So, I continued to read Insects.
Then look down, Insect Story is an interesting story: "Mantis is a very fierce animal, but in its early life, it will also be sacrificed by the smallest ant." Spiders weave webs, "even if there are tools such as compasses and rulers, no designer can draw more standardized webs",
Rich stories make me think. Watching, these bugs gradually became clear. I thought: If we protect the environment and don't pollute it, will these bugs still exist? Now the environment is deteriorating, will it happen again in the future? I carefully thought about the relationship between them, and this reading, Insect Story opened a brand-new door for me.
When I continued reading Insects, I saw Fabres observing the caterpillar's progress in detail, I saw him catching wasps regardless of the danger, I saw him boldly assuming, carefully experimenting, repeatedly scrutinizing the experimental process and data, and inferring the action time and effect of the high-nose bee venom needle step by step, the predation process of fireflies,
The method of fly-catching bees to deal with prey, the long-distance contact of peacock moths ... An experiment failed, he collected data, analyzed the reasons and turned to design the next one. Rigorous experimental methods, bold questioning spirit and diligent style. This time, I felt the "scientific spirit" and its profound connotation.
Fabres, an entomologist, cared for insects with human nature, and painstakingly wrote his masterpiece Insects, leaving a treasure house of essays full of knowledge, interest, beauty and thought. His writing is lively, his tone is relaxed and humorous, and he is full of interest. In the author's pen, the willow beetle is like a miser.
Wearing a short dovetail dress that looks like "leaking cloth"; Little beetle "selfless dedication for future generations, heartbreaking for children"; The little sparrow bitten by a poisonous spider will also "eat happily, and even cry like a baby if we feed it slowly". What a lovely elf! No wonder Lu Xun regarded Insect Tales as a model of "talking about insect life".
I admire Fabres's spirit of exploring nature, which makes me feel that insects are closely related to the environment, and also makes me feel the author's originality and subtle observation. The Tale of Insects has broadened my horizons, and I have a different perspective on the problem, and my understanding of the problem will go beyond the past. I think The Insect Story is a good book worth reading all my life. I think anyone who reads Insect Tales carefully will know more.
