The ancient Chinese's entertainment includes playing with animals, especially the bugs that can make sounds. Crickets is one of them. Little boys in ancient China captures crickets and make them "duel" and see which cricket wins. When they grow up, they will play crickets because they love the scent of childhood. And this custom passed down and eventually become a type of art in China.

Nowadays in Beijing, Shanghai, Hongkong, Guangzhou, Tianjin and more Major Cities of China have a lot of Stores just selling Crickets. And a minister in Song Dynasty focused so much on Crickets that even forgot he has to go to an important meeting!
