"Drop your hands and drink clear dew" comes from Cicada written by Yu Shinan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
The first cicada
Tang Yu Shinan
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.
Cicada Notes (1)Rui: Tentacles hang down. Alas, the drooping part of the hat band tied under the chin by the ancients. Cicada's head has prominent tentacles, which look like drooping tassels, so it is called "drooping". Drinking clear dew: the ancients thought cicadas were noble and drank dew high.
⑵ Streaming sound: the sound that spreads, also refers to the sound that comes out. Here, cicadas have been singing. Sparse paulownia: a luxuriant phoenix tree. Sparse, help.
(3) height: refers to living in a high place, which means pun.
(4) jiè: rely on. Autumn wind: alluding to the power of the emperor.
Appreciation of Cicada This object-chanting poem praises the lofty elegance and extraordinary moral character of Cicada by describing its posture, habits, residence and singing, implying that it is noble to stand on its own feet and become famous without any external force, and expressing its warm praise and high confidence in its internal character. The whole poem is extremely contradictory, and the poet describes himself with the noble and proud character of cicada. His image is complete and full, and his charm is subtle and long. He is meticulous in describing the combination of motion and static.
