The poem expressing the poet's lofty aspirations in Cicada came from afar, not from the autumn wind.
Cicada is in the south of the city.
Cicada droops like a tassel on a hat, its tentacles suck the clear dew, and its voice spreads from the branches of the straight Shulang tree. Cicada is far away from cicada because cicada is on a tall tree, not relying on autumn wind.
"A high voice is not affected by the autumn wind" is the crowning touch of the whole article. It is a discussion of poetry on the basis of the last two sentences. Cicadas spread in all directions. Most people often think that it is the autumn wind, but poets have different understandings, emphasizing that this is because of "high".
This unique feeling contains a truth: people with high moral character can spread their reputation far and wide without some external support (such as the help of powerful people), just as Cao Pi said in Dian Lun Wen, "They don't forge good historical words, nor rely on flying momentum. Their reputation is autobiographical."
What is emphasized here is the beauty and strength of personality. The word "self" and the word "non" in the two sentences echo each other, expressing warm praise and high self-confidence for people's inner character and showing a graceful demeanor.
Creative background:
After Li Shimin succeeded Li Yuan, he became a bachelor of Hong Wen Museum in Shinan and became an important minister. However, he was never arrogant and diligent, which made Li Shimin full of praise for him and deeply appreciated him. Therefore, he was often invited to participate in some ceremonies.
One day, Li Shimin was in a good mood and invited the bachelors of Hong Wen Pavilion to enjoy the scenery of the seawall and talk about poetry and painting. Li Shimin asked if there was a new poem, so Nan read it.
