The bright moon surprises the magpie, and the breeze chirps at midnight. What rhetorical devices are used?

Personification and duality. On the surface, the first two sentences, "The bright moon surprises the magpie, and the breeze chirps in the middle of the night", describe extremely ordinary scenery such as the wind, the moon, cicadas and magpies. But through the clever combination of the author, the result is unusual at ordinary times. The magpie is flying around the oblique and abrupt branches, not hovering over the ordinary tree heads.

Because of the bright moonlight, the magpie was awakened; Magpies flying in fright will naturally cause other branches to shake. At the same time, cicadas have their own time to sing. The chirping at night is different from the neighing under the scorching sun. When the cool wind blows slowly, it is often very quiet.

In short, the words "surprised magpie" and "singing cicada" contain the silence in the movement and describe the scenery under the "breeze" and "bright moon" in the middle of the night, which is leisurely and charming.

The moon on the horizon rose to the top of the tree, scaring away the magpies perched on the branches. Daohuaxiang said a bumper harvest. Listen to the frogs.

In the fragrance of rice and flowers, people talk about the harvest of a year, and frogs croak in their ears, as if in a bumper harvest year. In the old days, Maodian community was next to the forest. This road turns to the creek bridge.

Translation:

The bright moon on the horizon rose to the treetops, scaring the magpies perched on the branches. The cool evening breeze seems to bring cicadas in the distance. In the fragrance of rice flowers, people are talking about the harvest year, and there are waves of frogs in their ears, as if talking about the harvest year.

There are light clouds in the sky, twinkling stars appear from time to time, and it is raining in front of the mountain. The familiar Maodian hut is still located in the Woods near the Earth Temple. Turning a corner, Maodian suddenly appeared in front of us.

On the surface, the theme of this word is nothing more than some seemingly ordinary scenery, the language is not carved, there is no allusion, and the hierarchical arrangement is completely dull. However, it seems dull, but it has the poet's concentrated artistic conception and sincere feelings. Here, readers can also appreciate another realm of Jia Xuan's ci beyond the majestic and heroic.

In A.D.118/year (the eighth year of Xichun in Song Xiaozong), Xin Qiji was dismissed as a traitor and returned to Shangrao to live with the lake, where he lived for nearly fifteen years. During this period, although he also had a short official experience, most of him lived in Shangrao and left many poems. This word was written when passing Huangshaling Road in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province in the Middle Ages.
