Bixing Techniques and Their Functions in The Book of Songs and Mangzhong

The usage and function of metaphor

The poet is a rural woman, and the natural scenery around the countryside is familiar to her every day. When a poet touches something, he sings. The third chapter "Mulberry leaves have blossomed before it falls" is a metaphor for the happiness of young and beautiful girls at their first marriage. The fourth chapter "Mulberry has fallen, but it has fallen yellow" is also a metaphor for the haggard face of abandoned wife and the pain of being abandoned. The third chapter "I don't eat mulberries" is a metaphor, which means the following two sentences: "I'm not worried about women." The sixth chapter's "qi has a shore, but wet has a plate" is inversely proportional, and the change of heart is boundless and unpredictable. All these have played a positive role in shaping the image, highlighting the theme and strengthening the ideological significance of poetry.
