Use "drinking clear dew" to symbolize people's noble character. In fact, cicadas live by sucking the juice of plants. Where can they only drink dew?
The second sentence, "Flowing as a sparse tree", writes cicadas. Why is the continuous cicada singing coming from the sparse plane tree? This is due to
Because the phoenix tree is a noble and supernatural tree in the eyes of the ancients, it is said that birds such as phoenix wind will not live on it. "If the king appoints a moral person, the plane tree will be born."
Yu Dongxiang (see "Ruiying Map" quoted by Beginners). Poets compare themselves to cicadas, and their purrs are extraordinary. "Tong" is preceded by the word "sparse".

Don't want to waste your voice Oh, this last broken breath is in the green and indifferent trees! . Yes, I disappeared like a driftwood. I made my garden full of weeds. I thank you for your advice and let you live a pure life like you. "The first four sentences are written.
Elephants are similar to Yu Shinan's poem Cicada, but they show the cold environment. The last four sentences are about thoughts and feelings, expressing Guan Bo's wandering and returning to his heart.

His pure voice was drowned in the wind world. Who knows if he is still singing? Who will listen to me? ? "The poet used cicada as a metaphor to combine Qiu Chan's embarrassment with his own misfortune. Qing people make up for it
China's Poems on Servants says: "Poetry is more than 300, and the Tang people still have this idea. The same chanting, Yu Shinan's high-pitched voice spread far away. Without the autumn wind'.
