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.
Note: 1, this is based on two sentences: the ancients mistakenly thought that cicadas were caught by the wind. What is said here is that it is futile to live in a high place without food, although there is hatred.
2, a tree sentence: it means that although cicada is sad, the tree is pale and moist, like heartless. In fact, metaphor is ignored by people.
3. Bohuan: The official position is low.
4, stalks are still common: here is the meaning of self-harm (this sentence has allusions, the story of clay dolls and wooden stalks).
5, Wu Jiping: ridiculous to the point of no shin (with Tao Yuanming's poem).

The pure heart is hungry because of this, and you sing in vain all night.
Cicadas seldom have enough to eat, because they live on tall branches; It kept chirping, but no one paid attention. Wasted hard work and endless resentment. The ancients mistakenly thought that cicadas ate wind and drank dew, so they said, "It's hard to get enough." "Flying sound" means singing often.
As far as the real situation is concerned, this is entirely the poet's own understanding and feelings. All scenery words are sentimental words and the sustenance of his life experience. "Gao", semantic pun, refers to people's noble character.
The poet was arrogant and refused to give in. As a result, he can only end up in a hard life. Isn't this "difficulty and satiety"? He once complained to those in power, such as Hu Ling Mao, hoping to get their understanding and help, but in the end he was ignored and still could not get rid of the predicament of bumpy official career. Is this not a kind of "futility"? Here, the cicada is personified, and the poet uses it to express his difficult life experience and situation, so Ji Yun said that the first two sentences are "write intentionally first".
Oh, this last broken breath, in the green indifferent trees! .
Cicada sang all night, calling the fifth watch. It's already screaming and falling apart, and it's about to be cut off. But those trees are still green, and no matter how sad and moved cicadas are, they are indifferent. What a heartless man!
The cicada song has nothing to do with the tree green, but the poet blames the tree for its ruthlessness. Obviously, this is also pinning their own life experiences, expressing their grievances and being left out. Hu Ling Mao and others who once had close friends could have helped Li Shangyin. However, instead of helping him, they crowded him out everywhere. Under such circumstances, how can a poet not be angry?
Yes, I am like a driftwood. I have made my garden full of weeds.
These two sentences turn to the poet's self-description: I am humble, wandering around, and my hometown and countryside, which have long been left behind, are deserted.
There is a story in the Warring States Policy Qi Ce. Tao Ou sneered at the clay figurine: "You are made of clay figurine. As soon as there is a flood, you are finished. " The clay figurine said, "I am a native of the West Bank. The flood is coming. Although I will lose my human form, I can still be washed back to my hometown in the West Bank. And you, you are made of dongfanghong wood. The flood is coming, and you don't know where it has drifted? " Later, I used "stem pan" to describe my wandering life. "Dry", the branches of trees. "Pan", wandering. As an aide to others, Li Shangyin has traveled around the world for many years. He is called a "humble official" because of his humble position and low salary.
"I made my garden full of weeds" comes from Tao Yuanming's "Pastoral will destroy Hu Bugui". Tao Yuanming is unhappy as an official. Thinking that the fields in his hometown were going to be deserted, he resigned and went to the countryside to have fun. I have a bumpy career, too, and I hit a wall everywhere. Why not return to China as soon as possible like Tao Yuanming? However, my hometown is barren and seems to have no place of my own. It's really hard to advance and retreat!
The poet's frustration and desolation are revealed in his wandering and desolate talk.
I thank you for your sincere advice and live a pure life like you.
These two sentences are what the author said to cicada: Please give me a warning, my family's life is as cold as yours. "Jun" means cicada. Police, alert, there's a touch here. What is cicada singing? Some people say that it is a warning to the poet, why not turn around and return to his hometown as soon as possible; Some people think it is to remind poets to maintain noble integrity. I think it may also be a kind of helplessness to recognize the facts.
The first sentence of this couplet goes back to chanting cicadas and anthropomorphizing cicadas. The latter sentence "Jun" is opposite to "I", and the combination of chanting and lyricism echoes from beginning to end.
This poem is written on the surface of cicada, but in fact it is written on cicada itself. Ji Yun said, "The first four sentences were written by cicadas, and the last four sentences were written by themselves or by cicadas. Concealed, the rules can be played. " The whole poem goes deeper and deeper, expounding the theme. At a glance, it is "too high to satisfy", "in vain", "about to break" and "heartless" "Oh, this last broken breath, in the green indifferent trees!" Known as the "pen for chasing souls", it is filled with indignation, but it is ingenious and intriguing. Later, I will jump directly to my own experience and express my feelings directly, which shows the strong feelings. Finally, I naturally returned to the cicada, with harmonious head and tail and coherent meaning. Mr. Qian Zhongshu commented on this poem and said: "The cicada groans with hunger, and the tree is indifferent, like green." Trees are heartless, so they feel the same way. Cicada perched on the tree, but it was forgotten. Cicadas don't sing for me, but I call them "mutual vigilance", which means cicadas are also "heartless" to me, and I have feelings for them. Complex and exquisite. "
