虫の声を愛でるのは元々は中国で発展してきた文化ですね。7世紀頃の唐の時代からコオロギの声を楽しむ為にコオロギが飼育されていたという歴史があります。現代でも楽しむ人は居るようです。
有名な唐の詩人たちも虫の声を季節の移ろいを感じさせる風流なものとして多く詩に詠んでいますね🦗🍁
それが唐の文化を積極的に取り入れた平安時代の日本にも伝わって，少なくとも平安中期には一部の貴族の間でコオロギの飼育が楽しまれるようになったとのことですので…
少なくとも日本人だけの感性とか日本人固有の特殊能力みたいな話なら，それは日本の歴史すらもムシ🦗した間違いですね🤭

半世紀前に「外国人は虫の音をただの音としか聞かないが、日本人はそれを季節の変わり目と情緒的産物として聞く」という意見が出始めたが、明らかに嘘ではないか❓
