The selection method of fighting crickets

Chinese cricket culture, with a long history, a unique cultural life with strong oriental colors, began in the Tang Dynasty and prevailed in the Song Dynasty. Activities became more exquisite in the Qing Dynasty, requiring no "four diseases" (head up, tendrils, teeth training, kicking). The appearance color is also distinguished from inferiority and inferiority. "White is not as good as black, black is not as good as red, red is not as good as yellow". Let's take a look at the selection method of fighting crickets.

Breeding methods of fighting crickets

The sources of fighting crickets are basically purchased from the market, and most of these crickets are caught in the rural fields. The sound of a cricket is very important, and different levels can be distinguished from it. An inferior product with a weak, light and harsh voice. Although the sound is louder, but not dignified enough, it belongs to the middle class. The song is round, dignified and powerful, with a bell-like sound, it is an excellent species, and the trapper will make a preliminary choice when catching it. The crickets that have just been caught are quite wild. They are unwilling to settle down for a moment in the cages or cages, often bouncing about all over the cages. At this time, they need to touch the top of the crickets with silky grass a few times to slowly settle down, but be careful not to touch its incisors or tail guns. After a few days of feeding and training, the cricket will gradually become familiar with the new environment, and then it can be used for fighting.

Cricket fighting cage type

1. Pottery bowl feeding cage: the pottery bowl feeding cage is made of clay pots with a diameter of 15 centimeters and a height of about 8 centimeters, and the lid is made of iron yarn or plastic yarn. The advantage is that clay products have a small amount of moisture, which is similar to the living habits of crickets, and is suitable for it to dwell for a long time, which is beneficial to its health. The disadvantage is that the bottom of the tank is round, it lacks length if it is used for fighting, and the cricket has too little room for retreat when it fights violently.

2. Rectangular feeding cage: the rectangular feeding cage is generally 20 cm long, 12 cm wide and 8 cm high, with a lid made of iron yarn or plastic yarn. The advantage of this kind of container is that it can put not only some semi-tidal sand, but also some arched tiles, leaving pores for crickets to avoid the sun and light, so as to obtain a quiet habitat. Some grass can also be planted on the sand, which can not only make the crickets live as comfortably as they do in the natural environment, save their physical strength for fighting, but also give breeders a better view.

3. Bamboo long-strip feeding cage: the bamboo long-shaped feeding cage is made of two pieces of bamboo with a diameter of 7cm and a length of 20cm, and then uses many thin and round bamboo strips with similar knitting needles. its length is equal to the upper mouth of the bamboo cage (equal to the diameter of the bamboo tube), interspersed at the split of the bamboo tube, one every 0.2 cm, and the two ends are covered by semicircular bamboo locks to prevent their escape. One such bamboo cage, with a semicircular bamboo gate in the middle, can raise 3 crickets, 4 crickets or even 5 crickets. The advantage is that in addition to raising multiple crickets, because it is elongated, it is very convenient to be used as a place for crickets to fight. The disadvantage is that if raised for a long time, the bamboo cage is slightly dry and can absorb a little ground air as the clay pot does. According to the degree of dryness of the air at that time, it is necessary to spray water into the cage every 1-2 days. This kind of cage is widely used in Jiangxi, Anhui, Hunan and Hubei.

Selection method of fighting crickets

1. The cricket's head should be big, bright and shiny. The head of an excellent fighting cricket is tall and round. The eyes are high and the forehead protrudes.

2. Observe that if the cricket's head is bluish gold, bronze and so on, these are the superior qualities in fighting crickets. If the whole color shows a mixture of black and white, it is an inferior variety of crickets that are difficult to fight.

3. Crickets with hemp heads are warriors in fighting crickets. This kind of cricket has a thin and straight grain on its head. If there are sheep's horn lines, they are inferior products in fighting crickets.

4. Crickets that are good at fighting should have black eyes and golden teeth. Without these obvious colors, the fighting level will decline.

5. The main weapon for a cricket to fight is its sharp teeth. The cricket you choose to fight must have strong and sharp teeth. If the teeth are bright, not weak, the sharp-toothed crickets are superior species in the fight.

Conclusion: choosing a cricket that is good at fighting is the first condition to win the competition. Modern people's life has been greatly improved, and people's way of entertainment has changed from the single before. Now the choice of cricket fighting is not only a way of leisure for people, but also the inheritance and preservation of history, culture, history and life customs.
