摘要:

斗蟋蟀是中国的传统文化, 已经延续了1000年以上. 在斗蟋蟀之前, 会使用一种称为蟋蟀草的道具, 通过蟋蟀草快速扫过蟋蟀的头部及触角, 使得其进入战斗准备状态. 参阅《中国植物志》和已出版的各个省级植物志, 蟋蟀草常被用作禾本科 (Poaceae) 穇属 (Eleusine) 牛筋草 (Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn.) 的中文别名, 其中, 《北京植物志》和《河北植物志》则直接将蟋蟀草属作为Eleusine的中文名. 但是, 经本文考证, 用于斗蟋蟀的 “蟋蟀草”应为禾本科马唐属 (Digitaria spp.) 的植物, 针对各类植物志误将蟋蟀草作为牛筋草的中文别名所引起的误解, 本文予以澄清.

Abstract:

Cricket fighting is a traditional Chinese game that has lasted for more than 1000 years. Before competitions, Xishuai grass (stimulant grass) is commonly used to hit a cricket’s head and antennae to prepare the insects for battle. In “Flora of China” and flora of Chinese provinces, Xishuai grass is referenced as the Chinese common name of Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn. In “Flora of Beijing” and “Flora of Hebei”, Xishuai grass is referenced as the Chinese common name of the genus Eleusine. In this paper, however, we demonstrate that Xishuai grass should actually be Digitaria spp. Given the mistakes in the above flora references, this paper aims to clarify the correct classification for future reference.

Key words: flora, Digitaria, Xishuai grass, Eleusine indica, taxonomy
