          In Chinese symbolism, the cicada is believed to be a sign of rebirth
          and immortality. It also represents lofty virtue and integrity and
          was particularly favored by the intellectual class for many centuries.
          The cicada is also a popular subject in Chinese painting, notably
          by Qi Baishi and Chao Shao-an. The later had compiled 20 cicada-
          themed works in his signifcant series Chanyan ji  (蟬嫣集) of 1936.
