The first sentence is excited because of cicada singing. "Gao" refers to the cicada perched on a big tree, which is a metaphor for its lofty; Cicada sucks wind and drinks dew on a tall tree, so it can't stop, which coincides with the author's life experience. From "can't stop" comes "sound", so there is "hate" in sorrow. But such a voice is in vain, because it can't get rid of the difficulty of getting enough. This means that the author lives in poverty because he is noble, although he expresses his feelings for power. Cicada, for example, has no "hunger" and "hatred" Isn't it untrue that the author said so? The truth of poetry is the truth of the author's feelings. The author does have this feeling. As long as "Gao" and "Sheng" are consistent with cicadas, the author can write his own unique feelings about "Gao" and "Sheng", which can be described as "singing from a distance" (Yu Shinan's "Singing Cicada") or "clearing the heart and starving", both of which are correct.
Then "Oh, this last broken breath of internal absorption" was introduced from "Hate the sound of flying", "Among the green indifferent trees! It is used as a foil to push the frustrated feelings further and reach the climax of lyricism. By the dawn of the fifth watch, the cicada's singing has been sparse to almost cut off, but the leaves of a tree are still so green, and they are not sad and haggard because of its "sparseness", so heartless. Here, another feature of chanting poems was touched. It has nothing to do with the green leaves, but the author blames the indifference of the trees. This seems unreasonable, but the unreasonable part shows the author's true feelings. "Reluctant to break" is not only about writing cicadas, but also about trusting your own life experience. As far as cicadas are concerned, it is unreasonable for strange trees to be heartless; It is reasonable to blame the strong who can rely on the shade but are heartless. Since the poems describing the object are mainly lyrical, this irrationality is reasonable in lyricism.
Next, there is a turning point, not cicada singing, but myself. This turning point broke the limitation of chanting cicadas and expanded the content of the poem. If it is limited to chanting cicadas, it is hard to say anything. "Yes, I'm like a driftwood. I make my garden overgrown with weeds." The author is a small official who works as an aide in various places, so he is called a thin official. He often drifts in the water like a puppet. This unstable life made him miss his hometown. What's more, the weeds in my hometown and the weeds in the wild have merged into one, which makes the author more eager to miss home. These two sentences seem to have nothing to do with the cicada singing mentioned above, but there is still a secret connection. "Bohuan" is associated with "difficult satiety" and "hate to waste sound", so it is difficult to satisfy the sound. After this turning point, the meaning of the lyrics singing cicada above is more clear.
At the end of the couplet, "I wish you the truth and live as pure as you" returned to chanting cicadas and wrote cicadas in an anthropomorphic way. "Jun" and "I" are opposites, and they closely combine chanting with lyricism, echoing the beginning. The difficulty of cicada's satiety coincides with my poor family. The chirping of cicadas reminds me of this little official who is in a similar situation to cicadas, and the thought of "I made my garden full of weeds" inevitably reminds me of returning to the motherland. Mr. Qian Zhongshu commented on this poem and said: "The cicada groans with hunger, and the tree is indifferent, which seems to be green (which explains the word" green "well). Trees are heartless ('I'), so I feel the same way. Cicada is still alive. Cicada doesn't sing for me, I call it "mutual warning", but cicada is also "heartless" to me, and I am deeply affectionate with it. This is subtle and complicated. " Mr. Qian pointed out that not only trees are heartless, but cicadas are also heartless, which further illustrates the complicated relationship between cicada singing and lyric, which is more enlightening to us.
The most important thing about poems about chanting things is that "things are wonderful and merits are closely linked". This cicada-chanting poem, "vivid and ethereal, ultra-metaphysical", was praised by Zhu Yizun as "the best poem about objects".
