1. Metaphor:

Function: Make the expressed content vivid and concrete, and give people a vivid and profound impression. According to the similarity of things, explain abstruse and unfamiliar things with concrete, simple and common things, that is, make an analogy to help people understand them deeply.

Three types of metaphor: simile, metaphor and metonymy;

Category | Feature | Ontology | Metaphor | Carrier | Example

Simile | A appears like B | Like, like, like, like, like, like | The little girl looks like a flower.

Metaphor | A is B | Appear | Yes, become | Appear | That thick green scenery is simply a painting of green mountains and green waters.

Metonymy | A generation B does not appear | No | Appears | Countless arrows are shot on the ground, and thousands of waterfalls fall on the roof.

2. Analogy:

With rich imagination, write things as adults, or people as things, or things as things.

Function: It can stimulate readers' imagination and make the article more vivid.

Analogy can be divided into personification and imitation.

Write things as adults, endow things with human thoughts, feelings and activities, and describe things with words that describe people.

Moonlight, like running water, pours quietly on this leaf and flower. ("Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" Zhu Ziqing)

3. exaggeration:

Deliberately exaggerating or narrowing the nature, characteristics, etc of things.

Function: prompt the essence of things, contrast the atmosphere, strengthen the rendering power, and cause associative effects.

Examples of category characteristics

Magnification exaggerates the shape, nature, characteristics, function and degree of things. The asphalt road was sunburned, and even the bronze medal in front of the shop seemed to be sunburned.

Only by reducing the image, nature, characteristics, function and degree of things can we see a big world in Barnabas.

Exaggerate in advance, say what comes later, and say what comes first. She was drunk before she got pregnant.

1. Repeat continuously (there are no other words in the middle)

Example: The valley echoed, he just left, he just left.

2. Repetition interval (there are other words in the middle)

7. ask questions:

In order to attract others' attention, I deliberately asked questions first and then answered them myself.

Function: attract attention and inspire readers to think; Contribute to clear hierarchy and compact structure; It can better describe the ideological activities of the characters.

Function: make the argument conclusive and sufficient, enhance persuasiveness and inspiration, and the language is refined, implicit and elegant.

Explicit quotation (direct quotation)

For example, Confucius said, "In a threesome, there must be a teacher. So disciples don't have to be like teachers, and teachers don't have to be superior to disciples.

Dark quotation (indirect quotation)

Example: Failure is the mother of success, so don't be discouraged.

10. Metonymy:

Don't directly say what you want to express, but borrow someone or something closely related to it instead.

Types of metonymy: features replace things, concreteness replaces abstractness, parts replace whole, and whole replaces parts.

Function: highlight the essential characteristics of things, enhance the image of the language, make the writing concise and concise, and make the language rich in change and sense of humor; Attract people's association, so that the expression receives outstanding images, distinctive features, concrete and vivid effects.

Method:

(1) part of the whole generation. That is to say, replace the noumenon with the representative part of things.

If the green hills on both sides of the strait are opposite, the lonely sails come from the sun. (Looking at Tianmen Mountain from afar)

② Feature-generated ontology. In other words, the name of the ontological thing is replaced by the characteristics and signs of the borrowing body (person or thing).

For example, the compass turned angrily, spoke slowly and walked out ... (hometown)

For example, the South China Morning Post has a history of ten years. (meiling three chapters)

1 1. Irony:

Express the original intention with words or sentences that are opposite to the original intention, and strengthen the expression effect by saying irony. Some satirize and expose, while others express intimate and friendly feelings.

For example, (students studying in the Qing Dynasty) also have broken braids, which are flat. Except for the hat, they are all shiny and visible, just like a little girl's bun, and you have to twist your neck a few times. It's really beautiful.

12. Contrast:

Contrast is a metaphor, which compares two different things or two aspects of the same thing together.

For example:

Some people are alive and he is dead; Some people died, but he is still alive. (Cang Kejia, "Some People")

Using contrast, we must have a deep understanding of the contradiction of what we want to express. Two things to be compared or two aspects of the same thing should be opposite, otherwise they cannot be compared.

Parallelism, duality, personification, exaggeration, rhetorical question ......

13. Lenovo:

That is imagination. For example, the sun came out and the ground seemed to be on fire.

14. Synaesthesia:

The so-called synaesthesia is a rhetorical way to describe one feeling and express another by using the psychological phenomenon that various feelings communicate with each other.

It can arouse people's rich associations; Can be eclectic and lively; It can be accurately expressed and has far-reaching influence; It can enrich the artistic conception of poetry and form a special artistic beauty.

take for example

"The morning bell is wet outside the clouds" (Du Fu's Kuizhou is too wet to go ashore) uses the word "wet" to describe the clock. The bell you smell goes through rain and clouds, so it is "wet". Touch and hearing communicate with each other.

"Good as a guqin, lofty as a mountain, and soup like running water" (Lv Chunqiu Ben Wei). Listening to the piano, you know that you are aiming at mountains and flowing water, and your hearing and vision are interlinked.

15. Pun:

Using the polysemy of words and homophonic (or homophonic) conditions, it is intended to make a sentence have double meanings, that is, puns.

Puns can make language express implicit humor, deepen meaning and impress people.

16. Ding Zhen

Use the end of the last article as the beginning of the next article, and connect it end to end for more than two times, so that adjacent sentences or fragments or chapters can be handed down and connected end to end. This figure of speech is called top truth, also called thimble or couplet bead.

The use of real rhetoric can not only make the sentence structure neat and the tone coherent, but also highlight the interlocking organic connection between things.

17. Intermediate text

Intertextuality, also known as intertextuality, is a rhetoric method commonly used in ancient poetry.

In ancient Chinese, the meaning of a sentence (or phrase) was divided into two sentences (or phrases), and the meanings of the upper and lower sentences should be complementary in interpretation, which is intertextuality.

The old saying goes like this: "It refers to writing in the other party, but it refers to writing in the text." Specifically, it is a form: the upper and lower sentences or two parts of a sentence seem to say the same thing, but in fact they echo, explain and complement each other and say the same thing.

18. Ring

The water in the pool is ringing; The Valley of Gold is golden.
