The Pets of China
Crickets
Some people in China believe crickets bring good
luck. They also make nice noise. When you are
walking and you can hear a cricket very well, they
turn their sound like it was far away. They make their
sound by rubbing their wings together.
Cricket Cages
You can see the size of the
cricket compared to the
earphone of an Ipod (far
left).
Pet Crickets
People in China like to keep crickets as pets. You can hear them chirping from windows as you walk along the
street. It is a tradition that has long history in China. During the Tang Dynasty (618-906 B.C.E.), crickets were trained to
sing and fight. Spectators would place large bets on the cricket they believed would win a fight. Today many Chinese
children and adults keep crickets as pets, especially during the summer months. People often hang the cricket cages
outside of their shops so their pets can breathe fresh air but still be close enough so the owner can appreciate the
melodious singing of the cricket. When you walk around Beijing or any other Chinese city in the summer, look around the
doorways and windows of houses and businesses; you will see quite a few crickets! Can you hear crickets in the summer
near your house?
Crickets, though at first may seem like an odd pet to have, really are quite friendly and quite amusing. The large
crickets look a lot like a grasshopper with the multiple eye and mouthparts. The male cricket is the one that you want as
a pet because he is the one to make the chirping sound. Did you know that crickets are like ventriloquists? They can
throw their sound to another direction, so that their predators cannot find them.
Crickets are better to keep as pairs, but be careful, you cannot put two in the same cage together. They will fight
until one has killed the other. There are double cricket cages where both crickets are side by side, but there is a wall
between them so they cannot reach each other.
Crickets will chirp when they are happy. What makes a cricket happy? They like to be in the sunshine and to be
warm. They like to eat and have a full tummy. They like for you to take them out of their cages and give them exercise by
letting them walk all over your arms or on the table or bed.
Crickets are easy to feed. If you like it, they will like it! Be careful not to give them anything oily though. Crickets
love noodles, rice, soybeans, grapes, and cucumber. When they chirp a lot they need a lot of food to supply more energy.
You can take your cricket with you when you go to the park or shopping or for a walk. You can buy small cricket
boxes carved out of gourds, or made of brass, or porcelain that will fit just inside your jacket in the winter. The crickets will
be warm and happy close to you and will chirp as you go on an outing with them.
So, crickets can be very fun pets for young children and also for the elderly who have a lot of time to care for them.
..
Birds in their cages waiting All sorts of dogs including the local favorite: Pekinese
for their walk!
Cats
Some families in China have cats, but people do not frequently
allow their cats to wander around the city neighborhoods, so you do
not see as many cats as you will see dogs in most neighborhoods.
People get their cats from a pet store or from a street market. This
cat above belongs to the owner of a hardware shop, so he spends
the day keeping bugs and mice out of the shop.
Dogs
The daschunds above are two years old and live in central
Beijing with owner, Lao Wang. Every morning and every evening
they to go out to the courtyard of the housing complex so Wang
can spend time with his friends
Wang has a neighbor with a Pekinese named Guigui, whose
name means “well-behaved.” Guigui is a very popular breed of dog
in China. Five years ago, most people who had dogs had this kind,
but today you can find many breeds of dogs in big cities like Beijing,
Shanghai, or Hong Kong.
The government charges a tax for the privilege of having a
dog. The first year they charge 5,000 yuan, or $625, then they
charge less each subsequent year, so Lao Wang now pays only
about 2,000 yuan per year. The government has also long had strict
rules about when people can walk their dogs. The government
restricts dog-walking to early morning and night-time in order to keep
the streets clean.
Fish
People usually have these lion head and bubble-eyed goldfish
in tanks in their living rooms. Fish are a symbol of plenty or wealth
and bring families good luck. The fish salesman will bring many
tanks around the neighborhood so you don’t need to go far to add
fish to your tank.
Did you ever wonder what it was like to go to school in China? I did. Emily takes the bus every day to her Chinese
school called Fang Cao Di. I ride with her in the car to the bus stop. I always want to go with her on the bus but Mom makes
me stay in the car.
One day I decided to sneak out of the car when the school bus arrived and Emily started to put on her backpack and
get out of the car. It was not long before I scooted up the steps of the big tour bus that she rides to school each day. I slipped
under the seat quickly and Emily followed not knowing I was there!
Mom drove away and we were half-way to school before she realized the car was pretty empty without me!
I arrived at school just as it was ready to start. Children came on the backs of bicycles with their grandpop or
grandmom. Some kids arrived with either their mom or dad. Some walked to school with their heavy backpack on their back.
Some came by car and hopped out at the curb right by the front door.
I heard some special music. I had heard this music before from the TV. I think it’s the national anthem of China! Sure
enough, it was time to raise the flag and all the children were outside to watch as the school band marched by playing the
anthem. Da ‘da da da daaaaah da, dum dum da da-da-da dum.
I stood at attention just like the kids. Some kids wore special red scarves for the Young Pioneers. They wear school
uniforms too. Not Emily though. She is in the International Section of her school. The kids in that section wear regular
school clothes like jeans and tennis shoes.
I wonder what it means to be in the Young Pioneers and wear one of those red scarves. I want to join the Young
Pioneers too. The teacher standing nearby put a red scarf on me too! I am so proud to be a Young Pioneer. It means I am
loyal to my country, China.
I was born in China, did I tell you that before? I was born in Beijing and my parents (both cockerspaniels) were also
born in China.
I visited several classrooms today to see what was going on. First I went to Chinese class. With 5,000 characters to
learn, I’ll bet it takes kids a long time to learn to read and write Chinese!
Wow, I counted almost 50 kids in the first room I went to, it was a first grade class. I ran up and down lots of
stairways. Then I found Emily and her classmates in the International Section. There are about 25 kids in her class. She’s
in 6th grade now. They were reading some Chinese poems by Du Fu from the Song Dynasty. Mo Laoshe, Emily’s teacher,
caught a glimpse of me in the hallway!
Before I knew it, Mo Laoshe was in the hallway and I was in trouble. “Jiang Xiao Min!” she called from the hallway.
Emily sprung to her feet and flew to the hallway. She was pretty happy to see me but Mo Laoshe wasn’t sure what to make
of it all.
“Jiang Xiao Min. Jie shi ni de xiao gou ma?” (Emily, is this your little dog?), asked Mo Laoshe.
Note from Emily: I’m now 16 and go to high school. Ginger and I returned to live in the USA. Would you like to hear more
adventures from Ginger?
