Excerpt from the original:
Cicadas sing in the west, and guests think of 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? ?
Translation:
In late autumn, cicadas kept calling, and cicadas brought my prisoner's sadness, towards the distant.
How can you stand this Qiu Chan flapping his black wings and talking to me endlessly with white hair?
Autumn dew is thick, even if cicada spreads its wings, it is difficult to fly high, and the cold wind is rustling, which easily drowns its song.
Who can believe that Qiu Chan is so clean and noble? Who can avenge me for my innocence and integrity?
Appreciate:
This poem was written in adversity. The author praises cicada's noble character, comparing cicada with wealth, embracing itself with cicada, expressing emotion with things, and setting it far and deep. The integration of cicada and man expresses the poet's sadness that he is noble but "embarrassed by the times", and expresses his desire to distinguish innocence and avenge wrongs.
The whole poem is full of emotion, clear metaphor, natural allusion and pun, reaching the realm of unity of things and me, and is a famous poem in chanting things.
