Three, two-part allegorical saying, is a special language form created by working people in China since ancient times, and it is a short, funny and vivid sentence. It consists of two parts: the former part plays the role of "introduction", like a riddle, and the latter part plays the role of "backing", like a riddle, which is very natural and appropriate. In a certain language environment, you can understand and guess the original intention by saying the first half sentence and "resting" the second half sentence, so it is called two-part allegorical saying. China has a long history of civilization. Five thousand years of historical vicissitudes have precipitated, refined and condensed into a wonderful language art, in which two-part allegorical sayings have their unique expressive force. Give people profound thinking and enlightenment, spread through the ages. It reflects the unique customs, traditions and national culture of the Chinese nation, tastes life, understands philosophy and improves wisdom. Two-part allegorical sayings are generally profound, and a short sentence condenses a lot of wisdom.
The name "Xiehouyu" first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. The so-called "Wu Hou of Zheng" (a kind of "Hou Hou" poem) has been mentioned in the biography of the old Tang Dynasty. However, as a language form and phenomenon, it appeared as early as the pre-Qin period. For example, "The Warring States Policy Chu Ce IV": "It's not too late to mend." In other words, it is not too late to repair the sheepfold after the sheep is lost. This is the two-part allegorical saying we saw today.
Two-part allegorical sayings have many classifications. Besides, there are many two-part allegorical sayings, all of which have several properties, so it is difficult to divide them scientifically. For the convenience of reference, we classify all the entries in the homophonic two-part allegorical sayings into one category, and the rest are divided into three categories according to the nature of the figurative part. A * * * is divided into the following four categories:
First, homophonic. For example:
Empty coffin burial-supercilious (tomb);
Confucius was moved-all lost (book)
This kind of two-part allegorical saying is homophonic with homophones or near homophones, which leads to another meaning from the original meaning. Seeing this kind of two-part allegorical saying, it often takes several turns to suddenly realize, which is more interesting. Some books classify it as "pun", which is also reasonable.
Second, metaphor. For example:
Move wood in the alley-straight;
Cold water instant noodles-not much progress;
This kind of two-part allegorical saying is an analogy to objective or imaginary things. If we understand the characteristics and circumstances of the contrast ratio, we can naturally understand the "mystery" in the second half.
Third, metaphor. For example:
Cow's shoulders and feet-irresponsible;
Rats go to the streets-everyone shouts.
Chess in the chessboard-you can only enter and not retreat;
This kind of two-part allegorical saying is to use some or some objects and animals as examples. If you understand the essence of Bushby, you can understand its meaning.
Fourth, the story. For example:
Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou-only borrowed but not returned;
Lin Chong threatened Hong-just to see your flaw;
This kind of xiehouyu generally refers to common allusions, fables, myths and legends. As long as you know the story of Liu Bei and Lin Chong, you can know it clearly.
Many types of combinations are classified as one with obvious characteristics. For example:
Paper pipa-speaking (playing) is not allowed.
This kind of two-part allegorical saying is both metaphor and homophonic, and now it is classified as homophonic.
Looking at the classification above, the proper proportion is the same feature of two-part allegorical sayings. However, "metaphor is always a postscript." The first half of two-part allegorical sayings is sometimes inappropriate or undesirable, and some involve some physical defects, superstitions and old customs. In order to take some of its properties or characteristics, it leads to the meaning of the fable part.
