In ancient Chinese, the meaning belonging to 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.
Example (1):
It's sunny in the morning and cloudy at night. "Yueyang Tower" Fan Zhongyan
(meaning "the morning light shines on the darkness", "the morning light shines on the darkness".
"Chao" and "Xi", "Hui" and "Yin" are intertextual. )
Example (2):
Don't rejoice in things, don't grieve for yourself. "Yueyang Tower" Fan Zhongyan
Don't be happy because of "things" [environment] or "yourself" [personal experience],
I am not sad because of "things" or "myself". )
Intertextuality, also known as intertextuality, is a rhetoric method commonly used in ancient poetry. 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. Intertextuality is characterized by "keeping the text but expressing the meaning", which is mainly manifested in two aspects: first, the structural characteristics: mutual province. For example, "A general dies after hundreds of battles, but a strong man returns after ten years" (Mulan's poem), and the word "strong man" is omitted at the beginning of the sentence, which separates the word "general" from the word "strong man" and complements them alternately. Second, semantic features: complementarity. For example, "the window is lined with clouds and the mirror is painted yellow" (Mulan's poem), and Mulan faces the window, including the mirror. The two actions of "arranging" and "pasting" are carried out in the same situation and should be put together when translating. Intertextuality has many forms: 1. Intertextuality in the same sentence. That is, intertextuality that appears in the same sentence. For example, Qin and Han dynasties are complementary. Another example is "My master dismounts and my guests board", "The east boat is quiet, the west boat is quiet" and "the east dog is called the west". Second, the intertextuality of adjacent sentences. Is the intertextuality of adjacent sentences!
