The song depicts a grasshopper boasting about his strong arms and strength, teasing a nearby rooster. In the end, the rooster easily picks up the grasshopper with his beak and ends its short life. &#8220;A grasshopper teasing a rooster&#8221; is also used as slang to mean someone who overestimates his\/her strength.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Longing for the Spring Breeze&#8221; is one of the most popular pop songs in Taiwan, written by composer T\u0113ng \u00da-hi\u00e2n. This song was sung from the perspective of a young lady who longs for love. In Chinese literature, &#8220;spring breeze&#8221; often symbolizes love.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Cloudy Sky&#8221; combines melodies of two folk songs about the rapid rain in Taiwan. The rain comes quickly and heavily, and stops suddenly.<\/p>\n<h3>Listen<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Grasshopper Teasing the Cock (Live)\" width=\"1020\" height=\"765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ieDk-DGYhDI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Performed by Pei-San Chiu, Tze-Ying Wu, and Chen-Yu Huang.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>Scroll down to listen.<\/h4>\n<p><em>Taiwanese Folksongs<\/em> includes three arrangements of traditional Taiwanese music, arranged by Chen-Yu Huang for pedal harp, flute, and viola.
