五．昆虫
昆虫是地球上最庞大的生物群。泛红山文化玉群中昆虫的造型也很多，如蝉、蛹、蜜蜂、甲虫、螳螂、蝗虫、蜘蛛、蝎子等。他们是人类赖以生存的生态环境中的重要角色。其中有些昆虫是与人类的生产和生活密切相关的。如蜜蜂传播花粉，制造蜂蜜；甲虫制造肥料，有些甲虫有美丽的外壳，可以美化生活，它们是农业社会必不可缺的；又如当时的人们效仿蜘蛛作网捕鱼，狩猎；蝗虫有超强的繁殖力，蝎子和螳螂有凶猛的武备，这些均令人敬佩，有些氏族以它们作为图腾。
在泛红山文化玉群的昆虫类中，蝉和蝉蛹占有最大的比例。蝉是一种十分特殊的昆虫，它从卵到成虫有14年或17 年的生活史，超过了一般猫、狗的寿命，它一生经历了多次的蜕变，成虫形态美丽、洁净，非一般昆虫可比，人们常将它们比喻作高洁的人品。令人感到惊奇的是在泛红山文化玉群中，蝉常常是与外星生命密切相关的，有很多蝉或蝉蛹与外星生命体的组合或融合造型。这自然会使我们联想到它们是天外来物，笔者在“万古奇珍—泛红山文化玉群”一书中特别提及它。如果我们能破解蝉的秘密，将会使我们在外星生命的探索中有一个重要的突破。
5. Insects
Insects are the largest biota on the earth. There are many kind of insect modeling in the Pan-Hongshan cultural jade group; such as cicadas, pupa, bees, beetles, mantis, grasshoppers, spiders, scorpions and so on. They play a very important role in the ecological environment of mankind’s survival. Some of them are closely related to human production and life. Such as bees can pollen and make honey; beetles can make fertilizer, and some beetles have beautiful shell which can be beautify the living, they are the essential for the agricultural society; another examples are when people followed the spider to make net for fishing and hunting; and the locust’s superior fecundity, and the scorpion’s and mantis’s fierce weapons were admired by people, some of clans took them for their totem.
In the Pan-hongshan cultural jade group, cicadas and cicada pupas hold the largest proportion of the insects. Cicadas are very special insects, from egg to adult, their life history has 14 years or 17 years long, longer than the general cats and dog’s life, which life has evolved many times, and the adult’s form is beautiful and smooth, people often likened them to virtuous characters. Surprising is cicadas are often closed related to extraterrestrial life; there are many combination and integration modeling of cicada or cicada pupa in the Pan-hongshan cultural jade group. This naturally makes us to think about that they are come from the heaven. The author specifically mentioned it in the book “The Earliest Miraculous Treasure- Pan-Hongshan Cultural Jade Group”. If we can crack the secret of cicada, it will be a significant breakthrough to explore alien life.
