"There are several ancient trees, and among the empty grasses, there is a thing that sings in the trees. Lead the breeze to a long roar, hug the fiber and sigh forever" (Ouyang Xiu, "Singing Cicada Endowment").
In the thick shade of the trees, the cicadas in the summer are high-pitched and hissing, resounding through the clouds; it is like a rain suddenly falling under the hot sun, which stabs people involuntarily.
Milky swallow chicks talk, and there are high willow chirping cicadas and harmony.
After the torrential rain, the pearls were scattered and the new lotus was beaten.
Yuan Hao asked "Sudden Rain Hits the New Jing"
Especially after the rain, the early sunshine, the river flowers are luxuriant, the streams are green, and the cicadas on each branch of the high willow occupy the "mountain" as the king, holding the branches and drumming their bells. When these performers work together to make sounds, they form a majestic "cicada concert", which has the momentum of blocking the stream.
"Where the cicadas chirp, look back at the slanting sun and twilight" (Song Zhao Yanrui,"Dotted Lips"). "Cool breeze, white dew" The sound of insects gradually thinned, and the cicadas could not bear to be cold and cold, and gradually fell silent. The sound has changed from the grandeur of the summer to the sharp and short; the sound is thin and intermittent; if there is none, there is no strength, it is a little miserable. According to the book "Chinese Song worms", there were as many as thirty-five aliases for cicadas in ancient times. "Poetry Classic, July" cloud: "April Xiuye, May singing", the "tick" here refers to the summer grasshopper. The Northern Song Dynasty pharmacologist Kou Zongyi said in the "Derivation of Materia Medica": "Grasshoppers, the body of the summer moon and the sound are great." Autumn cicadas are known as "cold cicadas", cold cicadas, also known as cockroaches, generally in late summer and early autumn before a large number of feathers, with the cool breeze.
Since the Jin Dynasty Lu Yun in the "Cold Cicada Endowment" cloud "cold cicada mourning, its voice is also sad; four o'clock cloud twilight, wandering by the river", the sadness of the cold cicada has become the groan of autumn, becoming a symbol of purity, purity, and sadness. From Meng Haoran's "cool breeze at dawn and night, smelling cicadas but benefiting sorrow"; to Yuan Shu's "the sound of mangrove cicadas is full of sunset, and the white heads send sorrow to each other"; and then to Liu Yong's "Cold cicadas are miserable, the long pavilion is late, the rain is first rested", the miserable and sad cold cicadas are not only messengers of autumn, but often used to set off the sad atmosphere and mood. "There is no sound of mourning cicadas, and the geese are singing in the clouds" (Tao Yuanming, "The Ninth Day of september in the year of self-unitary years"). Frost morning geese chirping are not homesick? Highlight the sentiments of sorrow.
"Evening Cicada"
Don Lu Yin
Deeply hidden in the high willow back oblique, can be lonely and sad to reduce the past.
Fearing that the traveler's head was not white, he repeatedly moved the tree to fly with sound.
A "late" word, showing a sense of bondage. "The willows are cold and sad, who is willing to teach white clothes to send wine?" (Yuan Lu Zhi, "Intoxicated by the East Wind, Titled Red Leaves Qingliu Yugou"). It expresses loneliness, loneliness and sadness.
"If there is a husband on his head, then his text is also." If you drink dew with qi, then it is clean; if you do not enjoy it, then it is incorruptible. If it does not dwell in the nest, it will be thrifty; if it should be kept, it will be faithful; it will be crowned and its tolerance will be taken. Lu Yun said in "Cold Cicada Endowment" that cicadas have virtues such as elegance, innocence, incorruptibility, frugality, and integrity. Push the cicadas towards the altar.
Guo Pu, the originator of feng shui, also wrote "Cicada Praise": "The cleanliness of insects is precious but cicadas." The submerged decay is discarded, and the dew is constantly fresh. "Praise the precious qualities of cicadas that produce impurities without staining, and drink the morning dew and be clean.
Liu Xiang of the Western Han Dynasty also created the parable of "praying mantis catching cicadas" in the "Saying Garden". "There are trees in the garden, and there are cicadas on them, and the cicadas are high in sorrow and drink dew, and I don't know that the praying mantises are behind them!" The praying mantis is committed to the bend, wanting to take the cicada without knowing that the yellow finches are also in its side! "Mantis Flycatcher" portrays the cicada as a victim.
Drink naked and clean, and the chant rhyme is longer.
There are thousands of trees in the oblique sun, and there is nowhere to avoid praying mantises.
The Tang Dynasty poet Dai Shulun's poem "Painting Cicadas" borrows cicadas to avoid the predation of praying mantises, alluding to the fact that gentlemen with high moral character are vulnerable to persecution by dark forces, metaphorically referring to the difficulty of the world and the sinister officialdom.
Sima Qian used the cicada nature as a metaphor for his gentleman's temperament in the "Biography of Qu Yuan Jia Shenglie": "The cicada degenerates from the turbidity, and floats outside the dust, and does not get the dirt of the world... Push this Shiya, although it competes with the sun and the moon for glory. "The cicada is a metaphor for people, attracts people's reverie, and reaches the realm of purity to purity.
This little cicada is pure and perfect in the minds of the literati. Therefore, there is the "Zhuangzi Dasheng" in which yu is proficient in doing things, concentrating on it, and can succeed in "Chengxue"; there is Wang Wei's poetic leisure and expression of the transcendental interest of "leaning on the cane outside the firewood door, listening to the twilight cicada in the wind"; there is Su Shi's harmonious and bright summer scenery of "when the white water is full of double herons, and the green locust is high in the height of a cicada" and the meaning of reflecting the poet's loneliness and loneliness; there is also the anecdote of Huang Tingjian's "Gui Yan is slightly without March, Gao Cicada is using a branch to sing" A series of poems to refine words; and Yang Wanli's "Cicada sound without adding trouble, Since it is sad that people are breaking their intestines" The cicadas are worry-free people worry about themselves...
"Cold cicadas noisy willows, Shuo blowing foul sycamores" (Southern and Northern Dynasties Zhang Zhengjian "New Titles to Get Cold Trees Late Cicada ThinNing Poems");
"The garden willow is cool for a long time, and the cicada should be surprised" (Sui Wang Youli's "Endowed with High Willow Singing Cicada");
"The sunset is merciless and the most affectionate, urging thousands of trees to sing at dusk" (Yang Wanli's "Early Autumn Garden");
"An inch of sorrow, a cold cicada and a night anvil" (Yan Ji Dao "Picking Mulberries");
"Why yongmen play a song, and the cicadas say that they are desolate" (Liu Kezhuang, "Drinking Fang School Book Garden on March 25").
The cold cicada "knows" a sound, the autumn color is strong, the cold wind rises, and the cicada sound is forbidden.
Cicada
Don Xu Gang
Han Mingning is the same as the insects, and the wings and sideburns are poor.
The shell has degenerated from today, and the voice is as sad as last year.
The chrysanthemums bloom towards the hedge, and the leaves of the locust fall in the twilight.
From then on, the most amazing guests can be counted where to live.
The poetic and beautiful summer days of the cicadas have gone with the wind in the poignant mood of "cold cicadas and miserable", "lightly covering a few leaves, mourning and hugging a branch" (Sui Lu Sidao's "Heyang NaYan Listening to the Cicadas"),it has long been cold and clear, and everything is gone...
This cicada, which has been chirping for a thousand years, is not only noisy in the miserable and cold autumn wind, but also in the Book of Poetry and the yellowed line-bound poems of the past. The sound of cicadas is attached to the notes of the cold wind, which is in line with the chords of the heart.
"Don't invade the sun and make noise, you are listening to it in a foreign land" (Wudai Liu Zhaoyu's "Smelling Cicadas")," a faint melancholy, a desolate homesickness, looking up at the sky, the sky is silent, only "the autumn wind is slightly cool, and the cold cicadas are singing on my side" (Cao Zhi, "Giving the White Horse Wang Biao")," "Three or two sounds of cicadas in thin twilight, turning back to his hometown for thousands of miles" (Tang Lang Shiyuan's "Farewell").
The mournful sound of cicadas, like raindrops falling on the body, falling into the heart, sad and generous, people sigh.
