Example 2: A thin piece of paper with thin teeth on all sides. If friends from both places want to talk, be sure to ask him to be a messenger. (Guess item 1) Answer: Stamps.
The riddle must hide the answer, and at the same time, the riddle must show the answer itself in hiding. If the answer is too hidden, the guesser can't infer the answer from the riddle, and the purpose of the riddle can't be achieved. Therefore, whether it is a word riddle or a thing riddle, the riddle should contain and display the riddle while hiding. Want to hide and show, Shimada Hanzo semi-show, both hide and show, neither completely hide nor fully show, such a relationship between face and bottom is a big challenge for every jigsaw puzzle and guessing.
To sum up, the relationship between riddles and answers should at least meet the following two requirements: (1) riddles and answers have the relationship between characteristics and things or (generalized) attributes and concepts; (2) There is an implicit relationship between riddle and answer. The implied indication here actually includes two organic components: concealment and inclusion and display.
According to the characteristics of mystery, how can the mystery of things become possible? The objective basis of the existence of the mystery of things is that everything has many properties, characteristics, functions and so on. Among the many properties, features and functions, some are unique to this thing, but not owned by other things, or belong to this thing significantly, but do not exist significantly with other things. The unique or remarkable properties, characteristics and functions of these things are the "characteristics" of things; The existence of characteristics is the objective basis for the mystery of things to become possible. The subjective basis of the existence of mystery is that the puzzle maker can find and correctly express the "characteristics" of things. A riddle solver should have a pair of keen eyes, a clever brain and a set of skillful skills, find the characteristics of things through observation, excavation, comparison and screening, and process, arrange and deform the characteristics in a form that meets the riddle standard (see Wang Imitation "The riddle of riddles").
It should be pointed out that the above-mentioned "riddle makers can find and correctly express the characteristics of things" does not conflict with the "rule of avoiding direct expression of characteristics" in the riddle of things. The key lies in the form and skill of expression, and whether the expression reaches the standard of "implication". In order to express the characteristics of things and avoid straightforwardness, the mystery of things often has to take tortuous measures. Through metaphor, personification, exaggeration and deformation, the mystery is far away from its original face, which is illogical, distorted and even absurd in the form of language and words. For example:
Ex. 3: My hair is white when I am young and black when I am old. Wear a hat when nothing happens, and go bald when something happens. (writing brush)
Ten plus ten, or ten, ten MINUS ten, and then ten. (gloves)
It's not a fox, it's not a dog, it's a hay cutter in front, a mop and a broom behind it. (wolf)
A head without a neck, a cold body, wings can't fly, but feet can. (fish)
On the surface, such a riddle is intuitive to understand, and we really have to admit that it is just "selecting some originally scattered individual characteristics and attributes from the familiar external world (which is generally scattered and chaotic in external nature) and combining them in a strange way" (Hegel's aesthetics). However, if we really understand the stipulation of the relationship between the mysteries of things, then it is not surprising that the mysteries of things are so "neither fish nor fowl". When we examine, understand and appreciate the true face of the mystery through the appearance of "neither fish nor fowl", it is not difficult to find that the creator should not only take into account the all-round desire to hide, show and never leave, but also pursue the freshness and vividness of the form to attract the curiosity of the guessing players. Such "neither fish nor fowl" seems impossible. This is certainly not a mysterious advantage, but it is by no means a disadvantage; If we regard it as a shortcoming, we don't know the mystery from the perspective of mystery, but now we ask the mystery from literature, poetry, science or logic.
By the way, the mystery of things refers to expressing the mystery itself by twists and turns, and dealing with the features of things that have been discovered by means of metaphor, personification, exaggeration, deformation, etc., which already includes techniques such as stealing concepts and transferring meanings. To what extent are these technologies used in The Mystery of Things? What does this have to do with the interpretation of literary riddles? Undoubtedly worth discussing.
Several inferences
The above nature of the mystery of things determines that its riddle should be enough to effectively reveal the characteristics of the mystery, so it can't be just a word, a word, a phrase, or just a sentence with only a few numbers in general. Therefore, unlike the literal riddle, the language expression of the riddle of things is almost always greater than the answer. The reason for this is that the answer has two ends, one is a riddle and the other is an answer; The riddle is only the "feature" of the riddle, and it is a small part of the overall "quality" of the riddle itself. The shortage of quality must be made up by the sufficiency of quantity. ⑥ There is a "qualitative deficiency" in the mystery of literary meaning, but the reason is different from the mystery of things; To some extent, the quality loss of the riddle of literary meaning is more serious than the riddle of things, and the loss of the number of riddles will have a great impact on the buckle.
The above properties also determine the mystery of things and reveal the characteristics of mystery. As long as part of the mystery can be uncovered, it will help to guess the answer, which is an effective part of the mystery. Therefore, generally speaking, all parts of the puzzle are not invalid as long as they are not completely irrelevant to the answer, not "gossip" or "idle sentences". Of course, this does not mean that the mystery of things can be expanded at will. On the contrary, the mystery of a good mystic is always rigorous and always tempered.
The above properties also determine the mystery of the puzzle (after omitting the quantity), and the relationship with mystery is the relationship between class and concrete things, generic concept and species concept. So the mystery should be expressed as "melon and fruit one" instead of "melon and fruit one"; It should not be expressed as "insect name one", but as "insect name one".
From the nature of the riddle, we can also know that the riddle and the answer to the riddle are not interchangeable, which does not affect the establishment of the riddle, which is also different from the literal riddle.
The relationship between the riddle and the answer is objective and independent of language, so bloggers will call the relationship between the riddle and the answer of the thing "inferred relationship" (from the perspective of guessing), which is different from the interlocking relationship of literal puzzles. Inference relation and deduction relation belong to inference and guess relation.
The name of the mystery of things comes from the attribute of the riddle itself. Some people call the mystery of things "characteristic mystery", which is also necessary from the attribute of mystery.
The mystery of things is temporarily closed with emotion. Many people think that things are mysterious, simple and naive and are not worth studying or appreciating. But in fact, there are many excellent works in the mystery of things passed down through time, just like precious pearls shining in the mysterious world.
Example 4: When I was a child, my hands were green and yellow. After much discussion and tempering, after many turmoil; Don't mention it, you burst into tears when you mention it! (mast)
The mystery of this kind of thing, the precision of observation, the strangeness of conception, the richness of association and the skillful skills are all unexpected. No wonder people marvel that "a poet, even a poet, is hard to imitate" (Liu's The Mystery of Guangzhou). As far as the mystery of creation is concerned, it is no less difficult to create a good mystery of things than to create a good puzzle of word meaning. For guessing, from thinking hard, to suddenly getting through, to reflecting on thinking and appreciating taste, "I can't help but be surprised and amazed at the ingenious patchwork hidden in the relationship between things" (Zhu Guangqian's Poetics), which is absolutely no less happy than shooting a literary tiger. Therefore, the mystery of the matter must not be taken lightly. The mystery of things is not an accessory we don't want to mention when we talk about the mystery of literary meaning, but we have to mention it in order to improve the theory and system. The mystery of things has its roots, its branches and leaves, its unique aesthetic feeling, and it must not be taken lightly.
