Yu Shinan, the author of "Cicada" in the Tang Dynasty
Walk down his stilts to drink the clear dew, and the sound of the flowing water flows out of the sparse tung trees. The reason for speaking loudly and staying far away is not to borrow the autumn wind.
Vernacular interpretation: The cicada lowers its tassel-like tentacles to suck the clear and sweet dew, and the sound comes from the tall and sparse sycamore branches. The sound of cicadas spreads far and wide because they live in tall trees rather than relying on the autumn wind.
Li Shangyin's ancient poem "Cicada"
Cicada
Tang Dynasty - Li Shangyin
It is hard to be full, and it is in vain to hate the sound.
At five o'clock in the morning, I want to break up, and the green trees are ruthless.
The thin official stems are still widespread, and the hometown has been flattened.
Fanjun is the most alarming, and I will also clean up my whole family.
Vernacular translation:
You live on a tall branch so it is difficult to fill your stomach, and your lamentations and hatred are in vain when no one cares.
After the fifth watch, the scattered sounds are almost cut off, and the green trees are still as emotionless as ever.
My humble official position is like a drifting peach stem, and my home has long been barren and weeds have long since grown flat.
Your tweets can remind me that I am as poor as the water that washes my whole family.
