Yu Shinan's cicada
Cicada droops like a tassel on a hat, its tentacles suck the clear dew, and its voice spreads from the branches of the straight Shulang tree.
Cicada is far away from cicada because cicada is on a tall tree, not relying on autumn wind.
Cicada hangs down its tentacles like a hat tassel and sucks the sweet dew. The sound comes from the tall branches of buttonwood.
Cicadas spread far because they live in tall trees, not by autumn wind.

The creative background of poetry
Poetry contains the poet Yu Shinan's self-discipline. As one of the twenty-four ministers who hung in Lingyange during the Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty, his reputation lies in his erudition and noble Geng Jie. He talked with Emperor Taizong about the gains and losses of the king, and he was able to speak out and make a unique contribution to the rule of Zhenguan. To this end, Emperor Taizong said that he had "five unique skills" (morality, loyalty, erudition, style of writing, and writing style), and praised: "Ministers are all like Shinan, so why should the world care!" From the fact that he is not an eagle tiger with Kun Peng, but an unknown cicada, we can see that he is mature, cautious and conscious.
