Extended data:
Yu Shinan's representative works include Out of the Castle, A Young Man's Field Trip, Hate Songs, A Series of Sending Bamboo to Linchi, Cicada, Offering Harmony and Responding to the Singing Method of Wei Wangjiao, etc. Among them, the last three poems are about bamboo, cicada and wind, which firmly grasp the characteristics of the object and portray it vividly. For example, in the poem "Cicada", it is written that the cicada drinks the clear phoenix tree, and the sound is high and far away, not relying on the autumn wind.
It means that a gentleman should be as high and far as a cicada, so that he doesn't have to rely on or be subject to other things. Its ability to describe objects and express feelings can be seen. When commenting on two poems in Qing Dynasty, Shen Deqian called this poem (cicada) "Sui Chen's body still exists, but he pursues the fine police and gradually opens up tang style".
