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. The meaning of cicada in ancient poetry is chilling.
After autumn, cicadas will not live long. After some autumn rains, cicadas will make a few intermittent moans, and their lives are at stake. Therefore, chilling has become synonymous with sadness. For example, Dondero's "Chanting Cicada" begins with two sentences: "The cicadas in the west are singing, and the guests in the south are thinking deeply." Singing in silence makes you deeply homesick in prison. Liu Yong, a poet in the Song Dynasty, began: "Cold cicadas are sad, the pavilion is late, and the shower is early." Before the direct description of parting, the feeling of "sadness" has filled the reader's heart, brewing an atmosphere that can touch parting. Poems such as "Crying on My Side" (Three Kingdoms Cao Zhi's "Wang Biao as a White Horse") also express this feeling.
The moral of ancient cicada
The ancients thought cicadas were noble and pure, and historical records & lt biographies of Qu Yuan and Jia Sheng &; gt； There is a saying in China, "cicadas get rid of filth and dust." Cicada lives in muddy water until it finally molts and becomes an adult. When it shed its shell into a cicada, it flew to a big tree and drank only dew, which was highly praised by the ancients. At the same time, cicadas can live underground or get out of it. Since the Han Dynasty, the appearance of cicada has been compared to the rebirth of human beings.
Many people made jade cicadas in Han Dynasty. The meaning is clear. Cicada lives in underground caves. Jade? Among the dead, nothing but the resurrection of the dead and the continuation of the soul. so this is it？ Its image is a cicada with contracted wings. Here, I want to explain, as? There are no holes in the object. Do individual jade players have to have it? There is no objection to wearing a hole and a rope between the eyes. ? It's a jade cicada, but not all jade cicadas are? Because there are too many jade cicadas pierced for the first time, its function is originally to be worn. Most people who play with jade and some researchers call it "Han Ba Dao".
So, what is (Han Ba Dao)? I looked through several monographs, but nothing came of it. I beg your advice, not to talk about it. Which jade cicada (or? ) Is it carved with a knife? Probably not. Later, I finally understood that "eight" is not a definite reference, just like "three transgressions and five times" and "three people must have my teacher". They are not definite references, but just symbols, which can be described repeatedly. This truth is not profound, and most people and experts who play jade can understand it. They also said that this "eight" is not the real intention, but is used to illustrate the jade cicada (or? ) The knife method is simple and extensive, and it is designed for the funeral to "reduce the pen". However, I would like to ask, China people's traditional habit of "three" is already a symbol of a big number, and "nine" is a huge number. Can "eight" be used as a symbol to illustrate the simplicity of "pen reduction"? This is something I can't say. I know that the title of "Han Ba Dao" is the creation of a jade player. What I don't know is when and how this name was invented. In fact, it doesn't matter when the title was invented, it was the player's will (until after the Song Dynasty). However, its invention always makes sense. This truth must be understood. The contribution of the predecessors to playing jade people may be stored in a small customary title.
How to explain the "eight" in Xu Shen's Shuo Wen Jie Zi in Han Dynasty? He said, "Eight, don't. The images are opposite to each other. " Moreover, most people who study China's calligraphy know the story of the invention of official script. During the reign of Qin Shihuang, a county magistrate, Cheng Miao, committed a crime and was imprisoned for ten years. Cheng's talent is outstanding, he does not waste his lonely creation, and simplifies the seal script to facilitate writing, which is called official script in later generations. Qin Shihuang's national military affairs were busy, and the writing speed of Xiao Zhuan couldn't keep up with the trip, but the writing method of official script appeared, which was no less than today's computer introduction and soon became popular. Cheng was pardoned and became an official. Official script is very close to the Chinese characters used today. Later, a writing style closer to today's writing appeared in Lishu, called "eight characters". 8. What is the solution here? It means "back", especially some words with left and right strokes separated. At this point, it should be clear. If we understand the "eight" of "Han Ba Dao" as primitive simplicity, it would be wrong. It doesn't represent numbers, and it doesn't even have anything to do with any quantity.
To sum up, it can be clearly concluded that "Eight Roads in Han Dynasty" should refer specifically to the jade buried in Han Dynasty. The kind that only applies craftsmanship on the cicada's back, loosely speaking, is the jade that works on both sides of the back and abdomen? Let's call it "Han Ba Dao", because the jade cicada's back is carved with the "eight-point back method", and the folded wings, whether single-sided or double-sided, may also symbolize the farewell of the dead and the living. From this to that, it can be said that burying jade and holding pigs is also called "Han Eight Knives", but as accessories, jade cicadas, including jade Weng Zhong in the Han Dynasty, are not called "Han Eight Knives" at all, but at best, they are funerary objects in the Han Dynasty. The "Han Ba Dao" style of cicada holding pig.
-
The ancients thought that cicada eating wind and drinking dew was a symbol of nobility, so the ancients often used cicada's nobility to express its noble character. "Tang Poetry" says: "Every time a cicada sings its voice, it respects its nature alone." Because cicadas live on high branches, eat wind and sleep outdoors, and don't eat fireworks, so their moral character belongs to lofty type. A political prisoner is listening to Luo's Cicada: "Who knows if he is still singing?" Li Shangyin's Cicada: I am pure in mind, so I long to live a pure life like you. Wang's Qi Tianle: "I am noble and I am in pain." Yu Shinan's Cicada: "It is not the autumn wind that makes you aloof." They all use cicadas as a metaphor for noble morality.
4. Search this poem about the image of cicada, including the meaning of cicada in the poem. 1. The dream-like feeling of life permeates the author's subjective pity for life.
In Yuan Zhen's Poem to Send Lu Qian, the mangrove cicada is full of sunset red, and the bald head hurts each other. Mangrove, cicada, sunset red and bald image group naturally blend into one. Cicada, accompanied by sunset and mangroves, is a true portrayal of white-headed people. Coupled with the sadness of parting, it is an action to reduce cohesion. The image of cicada highlights the poet's subjective feeling, that is, the world is long, and life is like a white horse passing by, fleeting and tragic. The words are profound and wonderful.
Chen Ziang's "Thirty-six Poems (Twelve)", "Xuanchan, a thousand years old, has been wasted at this age. The group is getting bigger and bigger, and the lonely British will do nothing. " On the surface, this poem describes that cicadas will die at the arrival of the Millennium, but in essence it refers to the tragic feelings of being less than 100 years old. The bleak life storm undoubtedly permeates the author's subjective feelings of pity for life.
The second is the helplessness of natural reality, which expresses the author's sadness about travel.
The beauty of autumn is a sad mood, and cicadas can easily render this desolate atmosphere and integrate the lonely and cold image into the distant journey.
For example, Xu Tang's "Cicada" "reported that autumn is getting colder and the night thoughts are too clear. Answering questions silently, trembling slightly. " The "silence" and "desire to go" in the poem are not only about cicadas, but also about people. Poets will leave their sadness and don't hate staying with cicadas, but the loneliness and sadness of cicadas are the embodiment of poets. The author places this sadness on cicada, which reflects the loneliness and helplessness that people, as ordinary living beings, show when their careers are frustrated in the face of the vast universe.
Zhu, a famous Confucian scholar in the Song Dynasty, wrote in "The Temple of Smelling Cicadas": "The summer leaves are dark, but now I smell cicadas. This is already shocking, and it is more worthwhile to watch the sunset. " Why are guests surprised to hear cicadas singing? It is not difficult to see that cicadas in the sunset are sad. It's sad that cicadas have to moan in the cold night when the autumn is sinking in the west and the day is over. Like Xu Tang's Cicada, Zhu pinned all the sadness in his journey on the cicada, which reflected the insignificance and helplessness of man as an ordinary life in front of nature. At the same time, there is also philosophical thinking: "cicada" and "guest" are integrated in this "earthquake" and sigh in the cold autumn when the trees are rustling and the sun is setting. In the reader's artistic imagination, "cicada" and "guest" can be completely transposed, which truly achieves the artistic realm of the integration of subject and image.
This cicada song also made the Tang Dynasty poet Yong, a poet who had no ambition but had nowhere to show his ambition to serve the country, burst into tears: "A clear summer, several promotions." People with lofty ideals are bitter in their hearts, and when they first hear their voices, they are alone "(early cicada). Cicada is an ignorant person, and cicada singing has nothing to do with sadness. However, many poets are worried about cicadas out of their own worries. As Wang Guowei said in "Words on Earth": "I look at things and everything is my color. "
3. Noble and elegant personality symbol or metaphor of rough and unfortunate hard life.
The ancients believed that cicadas lived by eating wind and drinking dew, so they praised cicadas as a symbol of nobility, or used them to pin their ideals and ambitions, or to compare their bumpy and unfortunate life experiences.
Yu Shinan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Cicada": "The weeping Committee drinks clear dew, and the sound is sparse. It's not the autumn wind that keeps you away. "As a veteran of the Sui Dynasty, Yu Shinan was retained by Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin, and was highly valued for his profound knowledge and integrity. As a result, the cicada in the work became a symbol of noble and elegant personality, and became a confession that the poet himself was reused because he was tall and clean, not because he relied on external forces.
Another example is Robin's "Political Prisoners Listen to Cicada", where cicadas sing in the west and visitors think in the south. However, it needs those songs with black wings to break the heart of a white-haired prisoner. His flight passed through the thick fog, and his pure voice was drowned in the world of wind. Who knows if he is still singing? Who will listen to me? . "Some people say that" his flight is heavily through the fog, and his pure voice is drowned in the world of wind ".Every word in these two sentences is a cicada, and every word is about himself. "Well said. King Robin offended Wu Zetian by writing a letter to discuss affairs, and was framed and imprisoned. He was so angry that he wrote this poem in prison. " "Exposed weight" and "windy" are metaphors of great environmental pressure; "Difficult to fly" is a metaphor for political dissatisfaction; Sound is easy to sink "means that words are suppressed;" Who knows if he is still singing? "He was noble, but he was not understood by people at that time. The whole poem is apt in metaphor, natural in allusion and full of puns. It expresses feelings and interests in chanting things, from things to people, from people to things, and achieves the realm of unity of things and me. It is a rare masterpiece of chanting cicadas.
Li Shangyin, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Cicada": "I am hungry and sing in the night sky. 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 let you live a pure life like you. " The poet is knowledgeable and ambitious, but he is not valued for his arrogance. Later, he was caught in the struggle between Niu and Li, and was down and out all his life. Therefore. When the poet heard the cicada's song, he was associated with his innocence by the cicada's height and purity, and with his unsympathetic sadness. As a result, I can't help but sigh "overeating" and "hating consumption".
