Catching cicadas is a game loved by children at the dawn of summer.

There have been records of the game of catching and caging cicadas by children ever since the Han Dynasty. In Tang Dynasty, a new name was given to the game called "the fun in the forest". People liked to hang their cages with cicadas outside of their window to compete with the sound of the cicada. 

Children of today still use long bamboo poles attached with paste or sticky stuff on the tip to catch the cicadas on the trees.
