The allusions of the words "1" and "old one" come from Volume 22 of Er Ya Yi: "A mosquito, a good day, and an old child." Guo Pu's note: "Mosquito mother also has a big belly and a long beak, and her mouth and nose can trap foreign bodies, so she is called mosquito mother." Lv Dian explained: "My son is very young and flies in the water, so he is a lonely man."
2. In Cihai, the word "jagged" is interpreted as: "Mosquito larvae, commonly known as cephalopods. It is recorded in "Erya Wing" that female mosquitoes lay eggs in the water and become cockroaches after hatching. "
3. The word "swallowtail" is also explained in Modern Chinese Dictionary: "Mosquito larvae, which are hatched from mosquito eggs in water, have distinct heads and bodies and can move."
The English translation of the word "old" is "the larva of Moscow". Papilio, as a mosquito larva, originated from China ancient literature such as Er Ya Yi and The Book of Songs. In Volume 22 of Er Ya Yi, raccoons are described as larvae formed after eggs laid by female mosquitoes hatch in water, and their posture and swimming style are vividly described.
5. There is a saying in The Book of Songs, Xiaoya, that "it is insufficient to adopt and adopt." Well, I'm pregnant. I'll go around. " Among them, "ear picking" is considered by some annotations to be another name for centipede, which means mosquito larva. The "no surplus basket" vividly describes the tiny figure of the old man, and "I am pregnant and I am walking around" may describe the picker's yearning for distant relatives.
6. It is also a symbol in the traditional culture of China, which symbolizes tiny, lonely and helpless things. The phrase "riding the wind, swimming alone, drowning in water, and returning home alone" in Nine Debates on Songs of the South may also describe the loneliness and helplessness of the lonely.
7. Centipede is not only a tiny creature, but also an important ecological indicator. The existence of Papilio shows that the ecosystem in the water area is relatively healthy, because Papilio can control the number of bacteria in the water and keep the water clean.
