Yu Shinan, a famous minister in the early Tang Dynasty, chanted poems about objects. By describing the shape, habits and sounds of cicadas, it implies the poet's noble character and taste, and the things and I are mutually interpreted. The deep meaning of chanting poems is to praise people. Cicada sucks dew with its narrow mouth. Because of semantic pun, it implies that Guan Ying's senior officials should abstain from corruption and pursue incorruptibility.
Cicada lives on a tall and straight plane tree, which is naturally different from those insects rolling in rotten grass and mud, so its voice can flow beautifully and loudly. Cicada can "speak loudly from afar", not because of external forces such as autumn wind. The implication of these poems is that an official should stand tall and be virtuous in order to speak loudly and have a good reputation.

3. What does cicada mean in ancient poetry? Cicada, as a weak and objective life in nature, drinks nectar in the morning, swallows high branches at dusk, lives in summer and dies in autumn, which is insignificant in the vast universe.
But it is this law of life that has won the love of literati, and cicadas are brought into literary works to chant and admire, especially in poetry. From the Book of Songs to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the literature of chanting things developed rapidly.
This paper attempts to spy on the changing process of cicada image in poetry from the perspective of sustenance. Looking at poetry theory, it is not difficult to see that image is an important feature of poetry, especially in ancient poetry.
Poetry critics clearly put forward that "the beauty of ancient poetry lies in seeking images" (Hu Yinglin's poems). In a sense, image is the author's thoughts and feelings, and it is also the expression of human consciousness activities triggered by objective things.
Hegel thinks it is "the unity of the subjectivity of artists and the truth and objectivity of expression." We can know that once we combine objective images with subjective thoughts, various images can be expressed in words.
Passing through the south of the Bird's Nest, Kunming chicken is sad, the scenery is not temporary, and things are not the same place. The image originally has no specific meaning. Because the author combines two levels with concrete thoughts and feelings, it has a brand-new meaning. The cicada image in poetry has a reasonable basis.
Qian Zhongshu put forward that "there is nothing in the poem, but we don't take things, and we pool together. The so-called' words here, meaning there' can be said to be a sustenance." Entrustment is very important in poetry theory, and predecessors thought that chanting poems was superior to entrustment.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, a school of sustenance appeared among poets. The Preface to Song Sijia's Selected Poems says: "The most important thing in chanting is meaning, which runs through it and deepens without trace."
Zhang Yan also put forward in Etymology that "what is recited is in the eye, and the eye does not stay in the object." Creative norms.
Therefore, we can say that the beauty of object-chanting poems lies in implication, but the implicit beauty can't be pointed out. It entrusts with some emotion, mentality and life sentiment. As a masterpiece of chanting poems, chanting poems are bound to be permeated with correct images and sustenance.
Based on this, we can see the beauty of image change through the presence or absence of sustenance in poetry. Secondly, cicada poetry, as a tiny creature, has been taken care of by poets and entered poetry. As far as its initial stage is concerned, it is only an objective and natural thing, which is mainly reflected in the poems of the early Tang Dynasty.
Cicada first appeared in the Book of Songs in July: "Singing in May", and cicada is cicada. The chirping of cicadas is a true portrayal of farming brought by seasons.
The other song is "Ya * Dang": "If it's like a sting, it's like cooking soup." Zhu commented that "If it's a sting, it's all cicadas." Like cicadas, like boiling soup, it's all chaotic. "
It can be seen that the life characteristics of cicada singing have attracted the poet's attention, and poetry shows the primitive life habits of insects singing. "When the cool wind comes, the dew falls and cicadas sing" (Book of Rites * Moon Order), cicadas, like crickets and other small insects, are a simple phenology.
With the further development of poetry, there have been a large number of poems about cicadas, but the author does not intend to give anything or entrust it. Fan Yun of the Liang Dynasty chanted the poem "Spring is thin ice, but its quality is lighter than autumn dust".
The ending is clear and the flying sound is clear. "This poem describes the cicada's shape, sound, activity time and many other characteristics, and describes its lifestyle delicately and aptly.
Another example is Shen Junyou of Liang Dynasty and Lu Tingwei's poem "Early Cicada". "Sunset gives birth to a strong wind, and cicadas wait for the festival. The land is quiet and the leaves are noisy. "
Another example is the Song of Chanting Cicada by the King of Sui Dynasty. "Garden willow cold for a long time, cicada should be surprised. Exposed to constant humidity.
When the wind is strong, the wings become lighter and the leaves fly more smoothly. "And so on, these poems, or written in the autumn evening, or written in life activities, but generally describe the cicada's living environment and the existence space in a specific environment, can't help but say that it is a masterpiece of chanting things.
Although this kind of cicada-chanting poems did not skillfully use this style, they still maintained their inherent style. There are also many good sentences that have been passed down, adding bright colors to poetry.
Show a unique emotion. But what really makes cicada famous in poetry is the works with sustenance.
Thirdly, relying on the image beauty of cicada can win a good reputation in poetry, which depends on the development of Tang poetry. As we all know, the Tang Dynasty was an era of poetry, and the expression of "one method" was put into the pen of the Tang people, and began to get rid of the blunt and immature techniques and enter a realm of free use and unprovoked expression, and the significance of tokens exceeded that of the previous dynasties.
Many theories originated from this. Shen Xianglong said: "The merit of chanting things is to borrow things to contain temperament. All the feelings of life experience and worries about the country are hidden in it, and you are deeply attached to it. "
This point has been clearly reflected in many poems about cicadas in the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the image of cicada in the poem is not only the intentional arrangement of sustenance, but also the expression of spiritual essence.
"Don't worry about meeting Xia Guo, return to Qiu Chan" (Li Duan's "Going to Dongtian in the Evening") and other poems full of sustenance and concrete images abound. The literati's singing in cicadas forms a tragic beauty, constructs a vivid image that embellishes the poetry world, conceals the literati's psychological feelings about politics, society and life, and fully embodies the poet's subjective spirit.
This is mainly reflected in three levels. (1) shows the temporal linearity of time-varying images in the cycle of cultural heaven.
This is the most basic image given to cicada by the poet in the form of sustenance. The life of an adult cicada is very short. Zhuangzi said that it "doesn't know the Spring and Autumn Period" ("A Tour of Zhuangzi").
This habit of cicada and the poet's emotion skillfully created the song of * * *. Concern and self-pity for individual life have made writers of all ages generally feel that life is short and the universe is eternal, and its essence is a strong sense of time.
"The starting point and ending point of this consciousness are closely related to human life itself. Its core is the profound epiphany caused by the two-way isomorphic induction of life phenomenon and natural operation, which is reflected in people's fear, lament, grasp and persistence in their own lives. " The poet deliberately wrote cicadas, seemingly pitying small insects, but in essence he entrusted a feeling of "to see the sun, for all his glory, buried by the coming night", which was a force that stung people's femur.
Chen Ziang, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty, wrote "Thirty-six Poems (Twelve)": "I have wasted my time by counting the dew in Xuanchan. The group is getting bigger and bigger, and the lonely British will do nothing. "
On the surface of the poem, cicadas come in the white dew.

Poetry/significance of cicadas
You are perched on a high branch of a tree, and it is difficult to fill your stomach when the wind blows. Why are you making a plaintive noise? All this is actually in vain.

I am a humble official, wandering around like a peach puppet, while the countryside in my hometown is deserted. Please wake me up with a chirp. My family is also poor and miserable.
