Introduction to metaphor:

Metaphor is a common rhetorical device. It is a figure of speech to describe or explain things A with things B similar to things A, also known as "metaphor" and "analogy", which was called "bi" or "bi" in ancient China.

Jonathan kalle, a famous literary theorist, defines metaphor as a basic cognitive way, which is realized by treating one thing as another. That is to say, finding the * * * similarity between things A and B, we find that things A contain unknown characteristics in things B, and we have a new understanding of things A that is different from usual.

Metaphor can be divided into simile (direct metaphor), metaphor (metaphor), analogy, metaphor, metaphor, metaphor, metaphor, metaphor, metaphor, metaphor, metaphor, metaphor, metaphor, metaphor, metaphor.

Second, a brief introduction to personification:

Personification rhetoric is to personify things, and to change things without human actions and feelings into things with human actions and feelings. Give things the characteristics of human behavior, vividly express the author's feelings, make readers feel that the object described is more vivid and close, and make the article more vivid.

Three. Metonymy introduction:

Metonymy, as its name implies, is to borrow one thing to replace another, so most of the borrowed pronouns are nouns. When using it, we must consider the legitimacy and universality of substitution, and try not to simplify the complex and make the meaning smooth. Moreover, metonymy at this time is generally similar to seeing the big from the small, seeing the big from the small, reflecting the big situation or seeing the big from the small, making the sentence more vivid and concrete.

Generally speaking, metonymy is a rhetorical method of borrowing people or things closely related to metonymy when speaking or writing articles, rather than directly saying what you want to express. What is replaced is called "ontology" and what is replaced is called "borrowing". When "ontology" does not appear, it is replaced by "borrowing body".

Fourth, exaggerated introduction:

Exaggeration is a rhetorical device that deliberately exaggerates or narrows the image, characteristics, function and degree of things in order to achieve a certain expressive effect. Exaggeration can be divided into "ordinary" and "advanced".

Exaggeration is a rhetorical device based on objective reality, which uses rich imagination to enlarge or narrow the image characteristics of things purposefully to enhance the expression effect. Also called exaggeration or extravagance. Refers to the use of exaggerated words to describe things in order to stimulate the imagination of readers or listeners and strengthen the power of what they say.

An introduction to the duality of verb (abbreviation of verb);

Duality means using a pair of phrases or sentences with the same number of words, the same structure and symmetrical meaning to express two corresponding or similar figures of speech.

Duality usually refers to a rhetorical device consisting of two opposite phrases or sentences with the same number of words, similar syntax, level and related meanings. The dual relationship is close, concise and concentrated, and has strong generalization power; Formally, the front and back parts are uniform, the syllables are harmonious and disciplined. Strict duality also stresses levelness and makes full use of Chinese tones.
