Irony is an expression used in literature to convey the inner meaning that is quite different from the surface meaning of words. In this way, thoughts and feelings are expressed in intervals, and the incongruous effects such as contradictions, puns and ironies deliberately set in the works are described with tortuous metaphors.
Unlike irony, the latter is often straightforward, and the way of language is to use similes; The former is not only tortuous and obscure, but also clever and witty in metaphor. A satirist and a satirist are different. He not only tends to cover up his attitude towards the topic he talks about, but also relies on a series of conventions and prejudices shared by the public, thus establishing the context of ironic effect.
Examples of using irony:
There are also examples of irony in China's ancient poems, such as Jia Sheng by Li Shangyin. "Historical Records Biography of Qu Jia" records: Jia Sheng's opinion. Emperor Xiaowen was allowed to sit in the Xuan room (the main hall in front of Weiyang Palace). There is a sense of ghosts and gods in the world, so ask the origin of ghosts and gods. Jia Sheng is like a Taoist priest. At midnight, Wendi Deng was sitting in the front seat (with her knees moving up close to the other seat).
Then he said, I haven't seen Jia Sheng for a long time, and I feel that I have gone too far, so I might as well go now. In the eyes of ordinary feudal literati, this is probably a great event worth bragging about. But the poet Li Shangyin is original and writes new ideas.
