Cicada hangs down its tentacles like a hat band and drinks cool dew. Its sweet cry comes from far away in the phoenix tree forest. Because standing high, the sound naturally travels far, not being blown by the autumn wind.
Yu Shinan, whose real name is Bo Shi, is from Yuyao (Zhenming Hechang, Guanhaiwei, Cixi City). Famous calligrapher, writer and politician in the early Tang Dynasty. Yang Di was an official in the Tang Dynasty. He was the secretary supervisor and bachelor of Hong Wen Pavilion.

"The original collection of poems and essays has a total of 30 volumes, but it has long been lost.

Cicada is a five-character ancient poem written by Yu Shinan, and it is a symbolic poem. The author's implication is that the first and second sentences are based on the topic of cicada habitat, drinking dew and cicada singing, which is a metaphor for people's comeliness, high standards and elegance; The third sentence and the fourth sentence use the words "self" and "non" respectively, which are full of tension in both positive and negative aspects, expressing warm praise and high confidence in people's inner character. The whole poem is concise and vivid, and the metaphor is clever, which is thought-provoking with Qiu Chan's noble and arrogant character.
