"Cicada" Tang Yu Shinan.
This is the first time I have seen you.
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.
This is the first time I have seen you.
Cicada is far away from cicada because cicada is on a tall tree, not relying on autumn wind.
By describing the posture, habits, residence and singing of cicada, this poem eulogizes the lofty elegance and extraordinary character of cicada, implies that he has noble character and can become famous without some external force, and expresses warm praise and high confidence in his inner 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.
The source of cicada:
Cicada is an insect whose origin can be traced back to ancient times. According to fossil records, the origin of cicadas can be traced back to the Carboniferous period about 300 million years ago. During this period, the number of plants and insects on the earth is very rich, among which cicada is a very common insect.
2. The ancestors of cicadas are some insects that live in trees. They are called flies. These insects get nutrition by sucking the sap of trees, and they also look for other insects on trees as food. With the passage of time, storks gradually evolved into cicadas. In the process of evolution, cicadas have undergone a series of changes in their morphology and habits, including their breeding methods, the shape of their wings and their chirping.
3. Cicada's breeding mode is to lay eggs. The female cicada will drill some small holes in the tree, lay eggs in them and seal the holes. After hatching, the larvae will fall from the trees, then get into the soil and start their underground life. Underground, larvae will absorb the sap of tree roots for nutrition, and will also look for other insects in the soil as food. Larvae will live underground for several years, then become pupae, and finally become adults, drilling out of the ground.
