Abstract:This paper is an exegesis of "cicida" based on the study of Tang poems containing this imago.As an image in traditional culture the cicida serves as a carrier of the poet's emotional experience as well as a symbol of emotion.The song of cicidas much resembling the sound of broken chord strikes the chord in poet's heart,awakening "a complexity of feelings".Its correspondence with certain seasons brings forth a lament on the youth days leaving in such a rush and the aging appearance.The short life span of cicida also evokes a tinge of regret and emotion.Meanwhile the cicida signifies ancient scholars for its noble nature.A new connotation correlated to the Tang Dynasty is thus developed in poems on cicida while succeeding the traditional culture imago as its basis.

Key Words:cicida, emotional symbol,a symbol of scholars,new connotation
