Theme riddles, food riddles, fun riddles and grid riddles.
Lantern riddles are also called "literary riddles" and "Hu Wen". It mainly focuses on the meaning, form and sound of Chinese characters, relying on the characteristics of Chinese characters such as ambiguity, stroke combination, description and pictographic characters. By other means, such as explanation, borrowing, dictionary transportation and word separation, the riddle is related to the answer in meaning or shape.
Generally speaking, riddles have three elements: riddles, riddles and answers. Mystery usually consists of exquisite phrases, rhymes, poems or words. The riddle provides the boundary conditions for solving the riddle and limits the scope of the riddle. There is a certain logical relationship between the answer and the riddle. The answer should be deduced from the riddle, that is, the connotation of the answer should include the connotation of the riddle. Some riddles are also annotated with riddles to define the relationship or method between answers and riddles.
The following are introduced respectively:
First, guessing-word meaning analysis
There are many ways to guess riddles, which can be roughly divided into four types: word meaning analysis, glyph analysis, combination of form and meaning and special analysis.
Word meaning analysis method
1. analysis, that is, the answer gives a positive explanation and analysis of the riddle.
For example, the aunt in the nursery called the roll (Quyi form 1) and counted the treasures as "babies sent by the number". Many a mickle makes a mickle (oral 1).
2. Induction, the answer is the induction or generalization of riddles.
For example, the upstream, midstream and downstream bands (radio term 1) can be summarized as "river waves are divided into three sections". Colorful flowers bloom everywhere (Shaoxing Opera actor 1) Lu Jinhua summed it up as "flowers everywhere"
3. Metaphor. Most riddles are ready-made words with certain metaphorical meanings. When you guess, you should think according to its figurative meaning rather than its literal meaning.
Sheng Mao said that there are students everywhere. Remember the past, Shi Kefa (one of the famous anti-Qing generals in the Ming Dynasty), the teacher of the future, compared things in history for reference and imitation.
The above three methods belong to positive deduction, that is, positive understanding.
4. Anti-buckle method, buckle from the opposite side, and the bottom of the face contains a pair of antonyms.
For example, inferior goods can be exchanged (as the saying goes, four words), and finally interpreted as "good goods are not allowed to be exchanged"; "Good and bad" are a pair of antonyms.
Reading new books and reading good books (idiom 1) means "not reading old books and evil books"; "New and old" and "good and evil" are antonyms respectively.
5. Side attack method, which is neither a straight buckle nor a reverse buckle between the surface layer and the bottom layer, uses the method of beating about the bush to make it contrast and buckle, sometimes called lining buckle method.
For example, if you are advancing, you are also worried about retreating (idiom 1). You enjoy it. Fan Zhongyan's Yueyang Tower in the Northern Song Dynasty attacked China with "advance and retreat". "Trouble" and "happiness" are antonyms.
Strangers in strange places (say three words) know heaven and earth, and three outstanding people are also; Since "people" are not familiar with "land", they only know "heaven".
6. Word leakage, puzzles borrow regular words, deliberately omit one or more words, so that the answer is related to the missing words and appropriate vocabulary. The answers to such puzzles often include words such as leaving, missing, missing, missing, owing, falling, dropping, giving up, dropping, forgetting and losing. A that represents a word that has not been or has been abandoned.
For example, the idiom 1 doesn't mention "just having a good baby" as the slogan of family planning, and the riddle misses a word "only".
There are seven function words in classical Chinese, "What is it?" And "What is this?" And "What's this?" Both are short of (fresh) and easy.
7. Characteristic method, taking something as a riddle and guessing the answer according to its characteristics or uses.
For example, a walking stick (common word 2) is supported by the palm of your hand to grasp and walk, which is the purpose of the walking stick.
The usage of decoction and plaster (oral 1) "take and paste" indicates the different use methods of the two drugs.
8. Question and answer mode, with questions and answers at the bottom.
Where can I find shells? (TV series 1) Shanghai beach is interpreted as "going to the beach to find shells."
What's the use of tape measure? (Physical noun 1) The released energy is interpreted as "released, which can be used to measure the length".
Generally speaking, this method is based on questions and answers. Of course there are exceptions.
For example, on the third day of the Spring Festival (Textile I), the word "spring" is broken down into three words: three, one and one. The words "three" and "one" are arranged. What about the word "one"?
9. Causality method, the surface layer and the bottom layer are mutually causal.
For example, Zhuang Jiafu, who implemented the rural economic policy (table tennis coach I), was interpreted as "farmers' family getting rich through agriculture". The surface is the cause, and the bottom is the result.
You went out to meet your partners, and they were all scared (Shanghai Opera actor I). The reason why Ding Shie is afraid is that she thinks Mulan is a girl. Face is fruit, bottom is cause.
10. Connection method is the link between the preceding and the following. Generally, ready-made sentences with contextual meaning are used as puzzles, and the meanings of the above and the following sentences should be linked when guessing. Usually don't take the whole sentence to avoid the bottom.
Inheritance method
For example, "she touches the wrong note from time to time." Guess the surname of the mountain is five: "Chang, Ba, Zhou, Lang and Gu". Give don face? Li Duan's sentence "Zheng". The last sentence is "to attract revenge again." Zhou not only plays the piano, but also listens to music. People who smell mistakes will patiently correct them and almost become addicted. From time to time, there are rumors that "Zhou Lang cares if the song is wrong". Therefore, ladies who love playing the piano deliberately made mistakes to see Zhou Lang in order to see Zhou Lang's bravery and personal teaching. The riddle "zong" is a typical inheritance method, and the previous sentences include "Chang", "Ba, Zhou, Lang and Gu".
Comment on the poet's contribution fee. Guess movie actor 2: Snow White, Anita Mui. Facing the song dynasty? Lu Meipo's Two Poems by Xue Mei (Ⅰ). The last sentence is: "Xue Mei will not surrender for the sake of spring". There are four sentences in the whole poem, only the second sentence has no bottom word. "Snow White" said that snow is whiter than plum; "Yan Fang" Yumei wins the fragrance of snow. Which is better or worse? No wonder "poets stop writing and comment on chapters".
Initiation method
For example, "I miss Xiang Yu so far" guesses the place name of Wenzhou. Wangjiang east road. The answer is "Wanghe East Road" and the face is Li Qingzhao's poem "Wujiang River" in the Song Dynasty. The next sentence is: "Refuse to cross the river east". Xiang Yu defeated Wujiang River and wanted to go back to his hometown after a long separation. As you can imagine, he loves each other deeply. However, due to the death and injury of his soldiers, he had no face to see his elders in Jiangdong, so he had to look at Jiangdong Road and sigh.
The old man died at the age of nine guesses the origin of the crown of precious medicinal materials: "Korean ginseng". Facing the song dynasty? Chao Shuozhi's poem "Playing Ball in Tang Dynasty". The next sentence is "there was no reply in the Ming Dynasty". This means that North Korea lacks Zhang (nine years old) and Han (Yu), and no one dares to participate in the protest against Tang's dissolute behavior. The answer is that there are very few people playing in North Korea.
1 1. The method of coding is not simply from the literal meaning of the riddle, but from the allusions used in the riddle.
Such as: unwarranted (title III of Liaozhai) Qin Gui, Zhicheng, unjust imprisonment This is an allusion to framing Yue Fei by Qin Gui.
Yu Shizhi and Li Moran Li Bai once visited the Yellow Crane Tower and intended to write poems, but after reading Cui Hao's poems, they gave up the idea and wrote: "There is no way to see the scenery, and Cui Hao writes poems on it." And Li (Bai) were silent.
12. Split-buckle method, which does not measure the answer by the overall meaning of the riddle, but divides the riddle into two or more parts to guess separately.
For example, the replayed flower (flower I) is divided into two parts: "replay" and "flower".
Beautiful, convenient and firm (country name one) This American riddle skillfully combines similar themes and deduces them one by one. There are various guessing methods for rare riddles, and there are more than 20 common ones. There are tacit understanding, reflection, borrowing, extrapolation, deduction and traceability. Addition and subtraction and addition and subtraction belong to loss-increasing body; Clutch body has off-bottom method and off-surface method; There are pictographs, which belong to pictographs; There are direct homophonic method and indirect homophonic method; There are comparison method, personification method, imitation method, question and answer method and transportation method.
Knowing the law generally means understanding the meaning of riddles and connecting them with the answers. For example, the long hook on the face and the fan hanging from the head corner. Four thick pillars and a braid. (Hit an animal: an elephant)
Reflection means guessing the meaning of a puzzle. For example, don't use villains (make a Chinese herbal medicine: be a gentleman)
Borrowing deduction method does not need the original meaning or polysemy or antonymy of riddle, but uses riddle to solve new ideas and deduct answers. For example, Kaiming (a writer in the Tang Dynasty: Yuan Jie) interpreted it as "the early Ming Dynasty", that is, the end of the Yuan Dynasty, so the answer was Yuan Jie.
The side buckle method does not understand the original meaning of the riddle, but uses ambiguity to set off the riddle from the side. For example: Jiang Feng fishing fire (hit a character in The Scholars: Double Red) Here, Double Red is named after Maple and Fire, both of which are red, so Double Red is associated with mystery.
The characters on the puzzle are buckled with answers, some with one word, some with multiple words, and some with multiple words. For example, Wang Chuan (performing a Kunqu Opera: Fifteen Levels) is commonly known as "Fifteen Levels", and "Wear" and "Guo" are synonymous, which are deducted as "Fifteen Levels" respectively.
Tracing back to the source, tracing back to the source of the puzzle and its original source, and then combining the puzzle, is also called connecting the preceding with the following. For example, the Peach Blossom Pond is deeper than thousands of feet (to use an idiom: unparalleled), and the mystery is associated with the following sentence: "Peach Blossom Pond is deeper than thousands of feet" and "Not as good as Wang Lun's".
Addition adds strokes of some words suggested in the puzzle or adds some words to match the answers. For example: good mountains and good waters (type 2: Cui and Huai), in which "good" is deducted from "good", "good mountain" and "good mountain" and adds up to "Cui"; "Good water" and "good water" add up.
Subtraction is to reduce the strokes of some words suggested by riddles, or to subtract some words to match the answers. For example, if there is no water in the pool and there is no mud on the ground, the word "ye" and the word "earth" will be removed from the three points of the pool.
Addition and subtraction according to the tips of the puzzle, some words add strokes, some words subtract strokes, both add and subtract, and finally buckle the puzzle. For example, the top goes to the bottom, the bottom goes to the top, the two ends go to the middle, and the middle goes to the two ends. This riddle is a riddle, which can be combined into a riddle by dividing it into upper and lower parts.
The mystery of separation from the bottom reflects the mystery of separation. When you guess, combine the riddles and then combine the answers. For example, seven people (name a county: Hua Kai)
The out-of-plane method separates some words from the crossword puzzle to fit the answer. For example-(to use an idiom: a family statement)
According to the characteristics of things and the structure of Chinese characters, pictographic method imitates people and things, visualizes them, makes people associate them and increases interest. For example, two points on the ice are too much for it, and the stone presses the water to climb the hill.
This riddle is based on the overall picture meaning of the riddle. For example, two rows of mountains are reflected in trees in the distance, and a canoe crosses the river. (Type a word: Hui)
When using direct homophonic method to do riddles, words with the same or similar pronunciation should be used instead of words to distract people's attention and achieve the purpose of hiding riddles. For example, adding twelve Liang (one city: Tianjin), "adding twelve Liang" and "adding Jin" are homophonic with "Tianjin".
Intermittent harmony method is to decompose some words in the puzzle first, and then harmonize the answers. For example, two specifications are different (type one word: shoes)
When you guess, divide the shoes into two parts: Gui and Ge. Gui and Gui are homophonic, and Ge and Ge are homophonic, which accords with the answer.
Contrast is to compare words with similar or opposite shapes and meanings to match the answers. For example, it's not good to add a sum, but double it (in one word: evening)
The personification method personifies the words in the riddle and connects them with the answers. For example, there is a little girl in yellow. You bully her, she stabs her.
The method of imitating things objectifies a person or a part of the human body, or objectifies riddles or their semantics, thus combining the answers. For example:
Pillow. (To use an idiom: Put it behind your head)
This riddle is usually a question-and-answer riddle. For example, who cares about the 800 thousand imperial army? (To use an idiom: bear the brunt)
In the part-of-speech riddle of Yundian method, familiar idioms, spoken language, poems and allusions are used as riddles to interpret the meanings respectively, so as to fit the answers. For example, Baoyu proposed marriage (hitting an American historical figure: Lincoln)
I hope it helps you!
