The Origin of Cicada's Pen Name "Free Cicada"

Text/free cicada

A literary friend asked me why I was called cicada.

At that time, I quoted Yu Shinan's Cicada and replied to her. It is true that this is a poem about things, comparing itself to a cicada, and expressing one's ambition through the cicada.

This song "Cicada" is noble and unique among Tsinghua's high standards of Yi Yun, full of high-spirited hesitation and self-confidence.

I read things from each other. Yu Fuzi's realm is desirable, but it is difficult to achieve. It is the other characteristics of cicada that make me feel that I can become a cicada and a cicada at home.

How comfortable? Is cicada comfortable?

As we all know, cicadas live in trees and sing "cicadas ..."

Some people think it's noisy, but I think it's heavenly.

As the saying goes, "chaos adds trouble, and silence is accompanied by sleep." Whether it is good or not depends on the heart.

As an adult, I am much more indifferent. The maturity of the state of mind is inspired by cicadas, benefiting from "knowledge" and solving doubts in "music"

I interpret "knowledge" as knowing, understanding and seeking knowledge ... "Quit" as "give up"

And "Cicada" can preach Zen!

If I'm not talking nonsense, let's look at cicadas and Zen. Except for the same pronunciation, their glyphs all have a "single".

When the word "mountain" is pronounced as shàn, it is homophonic with the pronunciation of "Zen" or "Zen".

The word "single" looks like a cicada, especially the two small "mouths" in traditional Chinese characters, just like two eyes.

Put on thin wings like silk, and there will be a solemn wind of the elderly wearing robes.

The Dharma of the Great Compassion Mantra mentions that "the heart is the true master of fate".

Cicada! Zen!

Cultivate, be knowledgeable, do things well and care about yourself?

Cicada is full of sadness and legend from birth to death.

Its life goes through four stages: egg, nymph, pupa and cicada.

Adult cicadas mate and lay eggs, and soon they will die.

Eggs are sent to branches, and nymphs are hatched in early summer with the help of warm sunshine.

After living underground for several years, nymphs will drill out of the ground and become cicadas.

The pupa shed its shell, turned into a cicada, then jumped on the high branch and began to sing endlessly like a sermon.

I used to think that I could live for several years with dark sludge buried deep underground, but I can only live for one summer. Why does cicada keep cheering?

Is it a call to cheer for the scorching sun, or to protest against the steaming trees and people?

Or are you praying or praising? Eulogize with limited life?

If so, it will soar and make a blockbuster. Really should sing!

Cicada has no distractions in the ground, and it is bitter to raise adults to break through the ground! Buddhists use cicadas to meditate, abandon chores and practice Buddhism.

Pupa needs to get rid of its heavy body and bondage before it can fly to the branches. How can people break free and go into battle lightly?

Cicada changes from an egg to a worm and then to a pupa. It can only sing after several years in the ground. As the old saying goes, "build up your hair" and "think twice before you act".

Life is like a cicada, regardless of the length of life and the passage of time, it will eventually turn into mud and dust, nourishing everything.

Are people at ease while cicadas are at ease?

It lasted for a long time, and it kept playing "Cicada ……" in summer. It completed its reproductive mission and left without nostalgia.

This is its cry, its pursuit and the "Tao" of cicada.

For me, the meaning of life is not about enjoyment and length, but about my existence and the value of Tao.

Cicada, "Tao" for me.

If you listen, you will die in the evening.

I was born like Xia Chan, like a cicada!
