Understanding of entomology

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 enlightenment: in life and study, we should learn Fables' courage and perseverance in exploring the world and pursuing truth, have Fables' rigorous scientific spirit in everything, and insist on "accurately describing the observed facts without adding anything or ignoring anything". We must persevere in everything, even if the conditions are difficult, we must persist in fighting for our ideals!
