Cicada hangs down its tassel-like tentacles and sucks the sweet dew. The continuous chirping comes from the sparse branches of phoenix tree. Cicada's voice can spread far because of its height, not by the power of autumn wind.
The full text is as follows: hanging down and drinking clear dew, flowing out and dredging tung. Cicada is far away from cicada because cicada is on a tall tree, not relying on autumn wind.
While praising cicada, this object-chanting poem also uses cicada as a metaphor to encourage itself. The poet grasped the voice characteristics of cicada and portrayed it skillfully, expressing the truth that people should stick to lofty ideals, be strict with themselves and strengthen their self-cultivation.
Appreciate:
The first sentence "hanging down to drink the dew" describes the situation that cicadas hang down their tentacles and suck the dew. This sentence is ostensibly about the shape and feeding habits of cicadas, but in fact it contains metaphors everywhere. "Being righteous" means official position, because in ancient times, "official camp" was often used to refer to your official position. In the eyes of ordinary people, the status of such dignitaries is contradictory or even incompatible with "Qing", but in the poet's pen, they are unified in the image of "hanging their heads and drinking clear dew". This unity of "Gui" and "Qing" is precisely for the sake of "Qing" in three or four sentences without "Gui" as a foreshadowing, and the brushwork is quite ingenious.
The second sentence, "cicadas sing far and wide." In ancient times, there was a saying that phoenix was not a buttonwood tree. There is cicada singing among the sparse trees here, saying that it is noble in character. Platanus acerifolia is a tall tree, with the word "sparse", tall and clear branches, corresponding to the last sentence of "Autumn Wind", and the long sound like cicadas is pleasant to listen to. The word "Liu" describes cicada singing as a spring, continuous, quiet and fresh. Use the word "Chu" to visualize the meaning of cicada sound transmission, as if people feel the loudness and strength of cicada sound. Although this sentence is only written by voice, readers can imagine the high standard and elegant rhyme of Tsinghua's personalized cicada. With this vivid description of cicada singing, the play of three or four sentences has a root.
"The sound is not blown by the autumn wind" is the crowning touch of the whole article, and it is a poetic discussion based on the first two sentences. Cicadas spread in all directions. Most people often think that it is the autumn wind, but poets have different understandings. He denied this, and stressed that it was because of its "high position" that he could reach far. This unique feeling contains a truth: people with noble character do not need some external support (such as power and status, the help of powerful people and so on). ) has become famous.
