🌳 Brood X 第10蟬群
In backyards and forests all across the eastern United States, Brood X is beginning to emerge. With their red eyes and shiny black bodies, the legions of Brood X may seem like some kind of alien invader. But these strange creatures aren’t aliens, and they aren’t invaders either—they’ve been here all along. What are they? Cicadas!
在美國東部的家庭後院和森林,第10蟬群開始現身。有著紅眼睛跟漆黑發亮的身體,第10蟬群軍團就像是某種外星入侵者。不過這些奇怪的生物不是外星來的,也不是入侵者,它們一直都在這裡。它們到底是什麼?牠們是蟬!
There are over 3,000 species of cicadas around the world, but what makes Magicicada—seven closely related species of North American cicada—unique is their 13 to 17 year life cycle, the longest of any cicada. Most other cicada species have life cycles that last just three to five years. Of the 12 broods of 17-year cicadas that can be found in the U.S., Brood X is the largest—both in terms of geographic distribution and population size.
地球上一共有三千多種的蟬,不過這種名為 Magicicada 的物種(是北美蟬中密切相關的七個物種),其獨特之處在於,牠們的生命週期長達13到17年,是所有種類的蟬中生命最長的。其他大多數的蟬物種,其生命週期只能持續3到5年。在美國境內的12個17年蟬群中,就屬第10蟬群規模最大、分布最廣。
Brood X territory covers 15 states, from Illinois in the Midwest to Georgia in the South and New York in the Northeast—with major concentrations in Maryland, Indiana, Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. But their numbers are even more impressive. An acre of soil—they spend most of their lives underground—can contain over a million cicadas, and a single generation of Brood X may consist of billions and even trillions of the insects!
第10蟬群的分布範圍含括15個州,從美國中西部的伊利諾州,到南部的喬治亞州與東北部的紐約州,主要集中於馬里蘭州、印第安納州、德拉瓦州、新澤西州與賓州。不過牠們的數量更是驚人,牠們多數時間生活在地下,一英畝的土壤可以容納約一百萬隻蟬,而第10蟬群的一代約有數十億甚至數兆隻!
The current generation of Brood X got its start in 2004, back when Facebook was only available to Harvard students. At that time, newly hatched cicada nymphs fell from trees and burrowed underground, where they feed on the sap of tree and grass roots and slowly mature over the next 17 years. Now they’re slowly beginning to emerge from the soil, climb back up into the trees and molt into their adult form. Then they’ll have just a few weeks to sing their high-pitched songs, mate, and lay their eggs before their short adult lives end.
第10蟬群最新的一代始於2004年,當時臉書才剛起步。那年剛孵出的蟬幼蟲從樹上掉下去,鑽到地下,在地底下牠們以樹汁草汁為食,並在接下來的17年裡慢慢成熟。現在正是牠們慢慢地從土壤中冒出、爬回樹上並蛻變為成年型態的時候。接著,牠們只有幾週的時間可以鳴唱高音調的歌曲、進行交配、產卵,然後牠們短暫的成年生活就此結束。
Early European settlers in America called these insects “locusts,” because they reminded them of the swarms of locusts God used to punish the wicked in the Bible. But unlike locusts, which can damage crops and cause famines, cicadas are largely harmless. After emerging, they don’t eat plants like other insects. In fact, they don’t eat anything at all. Some people may find large swarms of cicadas scary, but they’re quite a sight to see! And if you can’t make it to the U.S. this year, don’t worry—Brood X will be back for another visit in 2038.
早期到美國的歐洲移民者稱這些昆蟲為「蝗蟲」,因這群昆蟲讓他們聯想到聖經裡頭上帝用來懲罰作惡之人的蝗蟲群。不過,牠們跟蝗蟲不同,蝗蟲會破壞農作物並導致饑荒,但蟬幾乎可以說是無害的。牠們冒出土壤後,不會像其他昆蟲以植物為食。事實上,牠們根本不吃東西。有人覺得一大群蟬很嚇人,但是這其實是一大奇觀!如果你今年沒辦法到美國去看,請放心,第10蟬群將會在2038年再次到訪。

A Scene of Heavenly Glory
“For you have not come to a mountain that might be touched, and that burned with fire, and to blackness, darkness, storm, the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which those who heard it begged that not one more word should be spoken to them, for they could not stand that which was commanded, “If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned”; and so fearful was the appearance that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.” But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels, to the festal gathering and assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better than that of Abel.” (Hebrews 12:18-24 WEB)
Imagine the passage above as a scene in a movie. The person who wrote the epistle to the Hebrews described it most beautifully.
Picture this with me: a mountain on earth burning with fire, shrouded in blackness and darkness, with lightning streaking and thunder booming all around. This is Mount Sinai when the Old Covenant of the Law was given. A trumpet blast sounds and the voice of God gives a severe warning with a threat of death as two stone tablets of the Ten Commandments appears, floating in front of the screen.
Suddenly, the tablets are snatched away as if by a strong magnetic force and balanced upon Jesus’ hands right before the nails are driven into His hands. As the Roman soldiers hammer the nails down, the stone tablets are also attached to Jesus’ hands at the cross, crucified with Him.
Then, the camera pans upwards, zooming past the clouds. You see Mount Zion, the mountain of God in the distance, and the heavenly Jerusalem sitting upon it, radiating gloriously like a priceless jewel. Reaching a huge pearl gate of the city, the gate rolls aside, and myriads of angels fly across like a flocks of migrating birds, singing beautiful songs.
You see the river of the water of life dividing the city into half, with trees of life on its left and right.
The camera follows the river that proceeds from God’s throne, into His sanctuary at the highest point of the city, and you see the Father seated as judge over all, and standing on His right hand is Jesus smiling and His arms outstretched to welcome you with a loving embrace.
The scene ends with a close up on the ark of the covenant in the sanctuary that has the blood of Christ sprinkled upon the mercy seat, and the camera zooms into just one drop of His blood crying out for your blessing, redemption, forgiveness, favor, healing, restoration, and all good things as the credits roll.
Can someone please turn this video idea into reality? I would if I had the skills and funding to do so!
The Bible contains the geographical layout of Heaven, and hints about what we can expect to see in eternity. In my eBook “A Tour of Heaven and Eternity”, you can join me on this discovery journey to see what awaits us beyond this lifetime: https://bit.ly/heavenandeternity

最近的天氣很有春天的感覺(時冷時熱非常不穩定,大家出門還是要多加件衣服和攜帶雨具才好。),附圖這件「煙江待渡圖」也很有春天的感覺。
🌸🐦筆歌墨舞—故宮繪畫導賞 展出不同時期的各式人物、花鳥、山水作品。有興趣的朋友請參考☘️展件清單:https://theme.npm.edu.tw/exh110/Painting11001/ch/page-3.html#main
******************************
【宋 錢選 煙江待渡圖】
Waiting for the Fairy on a Misty River, Qian Xuan, Song dynasty (960-1279)
尺寸:21.6 x 111.2 cm

畫作賞析:
錢選(約1235-1307),吳興(今浙江湖州)人。字舜舉,號玉潭、巽峰等。入元後不仕,以書畫終其身。
山水師法趙令穰與趙伯駒,花鳥師趙昌,人物師李公麟,然不為前人法度所拘。本幅繪秋景山水,山巒平坡多用硬拙直筆鉤皴,既表現出青綠山水的古雅工麗,又富有文人畫的恬靜意趣。樹叢以細筆皴點,蔥鬱清麗,構圖平遠浩渺,頗有絕世出塵之境。畫家藉畫上題詩,表達自己隱遁避世之願。
Qian Xuan (fl.1235-1307, style name Shunju; sobriquets Yutan and Xunfeng) was a native of Wuxing (modern Huzhou, Zhejiang). He did not seek office after the rise of the Yuan dynasty, instead making a living through his painting and calligraphy.
He took the landscape styles of Zhao Lingrang and Zhao Boju, bird-and-flower manner of Zhao Chang, and figure style of Li Gonglin as his teachers. Qian Xuan was, however, not confined by the methods of previous masters. This is a painting of an autumnal landscape in which the mountain ridges and level slopes are depicted mostly with angular texture strokes using a stiff, awkward brush held upright, assisting to express the archaic elegance and delicate beauty of a blue-and-green landscape that fully possesses the peaceful atmosphere of literati painting. The groups of trees are rendered with fine texture strokes and dots, conveying luxuriant growth and pure beauty. The painting has a flat-distance composition with a vast body of water suggesting an otherworldly and unsullied realm, the artist's poetry inscribed at the top of the painting expressing his wish to live in reclusion and retire from the world.

久石讓《風的通道 風のとおり道》(電影「龍貓」配樂)小提琴版本
| Violin cover by Lin Tzu An of the Wind Forest by Joe Hisaishi, OST of My Neighbor Totoro
龍貓這部動畫電影相信是每個人的童年回憶吧!
兩姊妹希望種子快點長成大樹,所以旋律帶著盼望的感覺,龍貓的出現便幫她們達成願望。
橡樹果實在龍貓的神奇加持下,一夕之間不斷向上生長成一棵大樹,更是具體表現了音樂中魔法奇幻的感覺。
現在雖然記不得電影裡小女孩的名字了,可是聽到這段配樂還是覺得一樣溫馨感動美好。
把這個感動送給連續第2天零確診的台灣,希望大家喜歡!
歡迎大家在沒有下雨的週末到信義區香堤大道,聽cover歌曲的live版!詳細演出相關資訊,我都會更新在我的Instagram 限時動態!

My Neighbor Totoro is deemed to be the memories of everyone's childhood !
The two little girls in the animation hoped that the seeds would grow into big trees soon, so we can feel the hope from the melody, and the Totoro helped them fulfill their wishes.
With the magical blessing of Totoro, the oak fruits grew up into big trees overnight, which is surely expressed by the magical and fantastic melody.
Still feel the same warmth and beauty when hearing this music tho I can hardly remember the name of the characters or the specific story in the animation.
Hope y’all like this and let's congrats to Taiwan for no new confirmed cases of COVID-19 for 2 consecutive days 😎
