The Beauty of My Calligraphy Is as Cool as a Cricket

The word "Autumn" in the oracle bone inscriptions is like a cricket. In northern China, crickets generally mature in August and are very active in September. They are considered the representative insects of autumn. Moreover, the pronunciation of the word "Autumn" is also very similar to the chirping sound of crickets. Therefore, the ancients called the season of cricket chirping "Autumn". From fire, it means that after the autumn harvest, the wasteland must be burned to prepare for sowing.
