The cicada is a unique insect with unique life Xi. Because cicadas are active in summer, and in autumn, when the weather turns colder, the life of cicadas is about to end, and the cicada's cry at this time is low and sad, which is easy to make people feel sad. Therefore, at this time, the cicada is called the chilling cicada, and it is basically the last "knowing the sound" after singing, and the branch is dead. The chilling cicada is often used to express reluctance and sadness to part. At the same time, people think that cicadas live on food and drink, so they regard cicadas as a symbol of nobility and arrogance, and sing praises to them, or use them to place their ideals and ambitions, or use it as a metaphor for their bumpy and unfortunate life experience.
The words from the book "Five Lantern Huiyuan" by Shi Shi Fan in the Song Dynasty mainly express a kind of Zen philosophical thought. "The Buddha and sentient beings, and for the sake of increasing the words, come here to return to the light and shine, and let go of the responsibility. Inevitably, the cicadas hugged the dead wood and cried without looking back. This passage uses the metaphor of a cicada hugging a dead tree to describe a kind of persistent persistence and a dilemma that cannot be turned back.
The meaning of this phrase is that whether it is a Buddha or sentient beings, what we see is an external image and expression, and the true essence and connotation need to be understood and experienced by ourselves. Here, "Zengyu" can be understood as attachment and dependence on external images. The phrase "return to the light here and let go" means that when we are faced with a predicament, we should look back and examine our inner true state, let go of external dependence and attachment, and bravely assume our own responsibilities and predicaments.
Inevitably, the cicada hugs the dead wood, and the cry does not look back" This sentence uses the metaphor of the cicada hugging the dead wood to describe a kind of persistence and persistence that cannot be turned back. Cicadas live on tree trunks in the summer, and in the winter, as the temperature drops and the trees die, the cicada's life is coming to an end. However, even in the face of death, the cicada still insists on holding on to the dead wood, and even if it has cried out, it cannot turn back. This metaphor expresses a dilemma that cannot be escaped and an attachment that cannot be given up.
Note that the "unavoidable" in this passage is not only a result, but also an exhortation, and a kind of kind wake-up call. If we don't face difficulties positively and seek solutions, but instead hold on to past achievements like chilling cicadas and refuse to change, then we can't get out of it.
In the face of adversity, the cicada is able to hold on to the dead wood, even when life is nearing the end. I was deeply touched by this dedication to life and resilience to difficult situations. No matter what difficulties and challenges we encounter in life, we should be like a chilling cicada, maintaining a firm faith and indomitable spirit.
Whether it's in our careers, relationships, personal growth, or emotional lives, we all encounter setbacks and difficulties. At this time, we need to have the determination and courage not to give up and not to look back. Only by facing difficulties firmly and actively looking for solutions to problems can we overcome difficulties and achieve success.
Therefore, I was most touched by the perseverance shown by the cicada hugging the dead wood, which made me understand that in the face of adversity, we need to have the courage and firm faith to meet the challenges and overcome them.
Cicadas usually spend most of their time in the soil, feeding on tree roots. At the end of the larval stage, the cicada will emerge from the soil, climb to the branches of shrubs, weeds, stems, etc., and fix itself on the bark branches and leaves with its claws and the spines of its forefeet, and then molt and emerge into adults. After transforming into a cicada, it mates in a short summer and gradually enters the next cycle of life, which is a natural law. Cicadas, can't be changed.
People can't be the same as cicadas. People have thinking, wisdom, can summarize, can reflect, that is a deep understanding of their own true inner needs and values. When the predicament comes, we cannot be bound by past experience and habitual thinking, we must face the reality bravely, have the courage to face our own shortcomings and mistakes, and actively look for ways to solve the problem. We must be good at reflecting on our past, learn from our failures, correct our mistakes, and avoid the dilemma of "crying and never looking back".
The saying "The cicada hugs the dead wood, weeps and never looks back" vividly expresses the situation of those who are stuck in a difficult situation and cannot extricate themselves, cling to their past achievements and refuse to change. If we don't face difficulties positively and seek solutions, but instead cling to past achievements like chills and refuse to change, then we can't get out of it. In the face of adversity, we need to have perseverance and reflective wisdom. We must not only persevere, but also know how to follow the trend;It is necessary to be persistent, but also to change. Only in this way will we be able to overcome difficulties and embrace a bright future.
