These three poems were all used in the Tang Dynasty? Chant? Masterpieces that come to give meaning to things, because of the different times, environment, status, temperament and fate of the author, although they are also the lodging of Bixing, present different faces and constitute artistic images with rich personality characteristics. Let's analyze these three poems.
Cicada? Don? 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.
Hey? Is it the part where the ancient hat band hangs down from the lower jaw? Hang it down? The tentacles hanging from the cicada's head are shaped like a drooping hat band.
Dripping and drinking clear dew, dripping and dripping? Suggest the noble status of the poet. ? Drink clear dew? This shows that the poet has noble character. ? A flowing sound? It is the long sound of cicada, which symbolizes the poet's great ambition. ? Shu tong? Indus is a big tree, plus? Sparse? The word "Zi" makes the branches stand upright and strong. This sentence is a pun, which not only implies the noble status of the poet, but also expresses the noble character of the poet.
Talk from a distance, not by the autumn wind? This sentence is the crowning touch of the whole poem. Writing cicadas is not spread in the autumn wind, but because? Tall? Spread far away. A person with noble moral character can become famous all over the world without the help of external power status and dignitaries, and emphasize the beauty and strength of personality. What did the poet write? Cicada? Poets are endowed with personification, metaphor for themselves, praise and pursuit of people's inner character, and show elegant and noble demeanor.
Yu Shinan was born in Yuezhou (now Yuyao, Zhejiang). During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, the official was supervised by the secretary and was named Yongxing County. Yong Yongxing? . His articles were well written and his calligraphy was good, and he had a high reputation in the literary world at that time. Emperor Taizong once praised him for his virtue, loyalty, erudition, literature and prose. Five wonders? . When writing this cicada poem, Yu Shinan was in a high position, and he was proud of his spring breeze. He compared himself to a cicada with noble character, expressing the high confidence and noble charm of literati.
If Yu Shinan's Cicada shows the nobility of a scholar-bureaucrat, then Luo's Cicada shows the unyielding nobility in adversity.
"Zen" Don? Luo
When the sun sets one year, I hear a cicada, telling me to make up my mind in my cell.
I can't stand the shadow on my temple to break the heart of a white-haired prisoner.
His flight passed through the thick fog, and his pure voice was drowned in the world of wind.
Who knows if he is still singing? Who will listen to me? ?
In the third year of Yifeng in Tang Gaozong (678), Robin was appointed as an adviser to the imperial court. He angered Wuhou because of his negligence, was framed, and was arrested and imprisoned for accepting bribes and bending the law. The poet wrote this poem in prison, expressing his belief in defending plants from yielding.
When the years went down, I heard a cicada telling me to make up my mind in my cell? Qiu Chan sang in a sad voice, which made the poet miss his hometown in prison. The beginning of the poem shows the time and place. The time is autumn and the place is prison. The cold and humid prison in autumn, coupled with chilling cries and the poet's homesickness, gives people a feeling of desolation and depression.
That's terrible. To break the heart of a white-haired prisoner? The poet satirized Wu Zetian several times and was even framed and imprisoned. Honest young people, however, have a little white hair on their heads because of political hardships. Seeing Qiu Chan singing in prison, his temples were still black. In contrast, he can't help hurting himself. At the same time, he recalls his childhood, so he can't sing as well as Qiu Chan. Now he has accomplished nothing, even went to prison. The poet expressed this kind of sadness euphemistically and tortuous, and at the same time used Han Yuefu? Whitehead song? Allusions, further metaphor rulers failed to live up to the poet's loyalty to the country.
His flight passed through the thick fog, and his pure voice was drowned in the world of wind? These two words are both about cicadas and about themselves. ? Is there much dew and wind? Metaphor is the pressure of the environment. Difficult to fly in? Metaphor is political frustration. Sound is easy to sink? Metaphor is not freedom of speech. Cicada is like this, so am I. Cicada and poet are inseparable here.
Who knows if he is still singing? Who will listen to me? ? ? Qiu Chan is on high, eating the wind and drinking the dew. Who believes it doesn't eat fireworks? The poet's self-proclaimed noble character was not understood at that time, but was framed and imprisoned. Who will defend the poet in this case? Only cicadas can sing for me and only I can sing for cicadas.
In the predicament, Wang expressed his moral outlook and expressed his grievances by chanting poems about things. This voice traveled through time and space, echoing in Li Shangyin's ear, and his resentment finally inspired his grumbling.
Cicada? Don? Li shangyin
The pure heart is hungry because of this, and you sing in vain all night.
Oh, this last broken breath, in the green indifferent trees! .
Yes, I am like a driftwood. I have made my garden full of weeds.
I thank you for your sincere advice and live a pure life like you.
A pure heart is hungry because of this, and you sing in vain all night? Cicada perches on a tall tree, which is a metaphor for its lofty; Cicadas eat and drink dew in tall trees, so? Difficult to get enough? This coincides with the author's life experience. Because the author is lofty, he lives in poverty. Although he confessed to powerful people and hoped to get their help, it was in vain in the end.
Oh, this last broken breath, in the green indifferent trees! ? The cicada's singing will be sparse until dawn, but the leaves of a tree are still green, not for it? Want to break up? And sadness, it seems so heartless. Here, with the help of his own life experience, the poet further enhanced his frustrated feelings and reached the climax of lyricism.
Yes, I'm like a driftwood. I made my garden full of weeds? The poet's career is bumpy, so he can only run around in the shogunate and be an adjutant, so he is called? Apollo? . Running around and living under the wall makes him miss his hometown. It seems that seeing the weeds in the hometown and the weeds in the wild have merged into one, the poet's homesickness is more urgent.
I appreciate your advice and live a pure life like you? In the last sentence, the poet took a turning point, from cicada to himself, and this sentence came back to recite cicada. The difficulty of cicada corresponds to my poor family. The chirping of cicada reminds me of this little official who is in a similar situation to cicada, and I can't help but feel homesick when I think of my hometown.
Li Shangyin was ostracized because of the struggle between Niu and Li, and he was down and out all his life. Emotion can't be stretched, so you can only write poems to express your meaning. This poem about cicadas is to grasp the characteristics of cicadas and express our long-standing resentment in combination with the poet's feelings. So the cicada in this poem is also the author's own shadow.
These three poems about objects, Yu Shinan? Talk from a distance, not by the autumn wind? It is the lofty language of scholar-officials; Irene Wang? His flight passed through the thick fog, and his pure voice was drowned in the world of wind? It is an unyielding language in adversity; Li shangyin? A pure heart is hungry because of this, and you sing in vain all night? This is a complaint about poverty. In the Tang Dynasty, the famous works of Zen in the two ministries showed different faces because of their different identities, experiences and temperament. Although their artistic characteristics are different, they all point to a spiritual connotation, that is, praise and pursuit of noble personality. Shen Deqian said in the Tang poetry:? Every time a cicada sings, it respects its sex alone. ? This sentence accurately tells the Tang Dynasty? Chant? The concept of poetry.
