What does it mean to "hang down and drink the dew, and the sound will clear the tree" Keep your voice high from the autumn wind "?

On the bleak phoenix tree, cicadas drink low and clear dew, and the cicada sound is crisp and loud, echoing among the trees.

Living on a high branch, the swarm can be proud. Without the help of autumn wind, the sound is still far away.

Cicada is a five-character ancient poem by Yu Shinan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a poem with symbolic significance. The author's implication is that the first and second sentences are based on the topic of cicada habitat, drinking dew and cicada singing, which is a metaphor for people's comeliness, high standards and elegance;

The third sentence and the fourth sentence use the words "self" and "non" respectively, which are full of tension in both positive and negative aspects, expressing warm praise and high confidence in people's inner character. The whole poem is concise and vivid, and the metaphor is clever, which is thought-provoking with Qiu Chan's noble and arrogant character.

Extended data:

This is a poem about objects, full of symbolic significance. Every sentence describes the shape, habit and sound of cicada, and every sentence implies the poet's noble character and interest. The deep meaning of chanting things is to praise people. The key of this poem is to grasp some specific features of cicadas and find artistic correspondence from them.

The first sentence is ostensibly about the shape and feeding habits of cicadas, but in fact it contains metaphors everywhere. "Being righteous" means official position, because the ancients often used "official camp" to refer to dignitaries.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the identity and status of a prominent official is contradictory to that of a "door guest", or even incompatible with each other, but in the author's pen, it is unified in the image of a cicada "hanging its head and drinking clear dew". This unity of "expensive (person)" and "clear (guest)" is the reason why "clear" in three or four sentences does not need to borrow "expensive" as a foreshadowing, and the pen is clever.
