① Fu is to tell the story directly.
This is a narrative poem, so most of the poem uses the technique of fu, especially the first and second chapters, which are the most prominent, directly narrating to the readers the process of two people's love and marriage.
②Comparison is an analogy.
"When I am a dove, I have no time to eat mulberries! When I am a woman, I have no time to spend time with scholars!"
Mulberries are used as a metaphor for love. Mulberries are sweet, and turtle doves will get drunk easily if they eat too much; love is beautiful, but if a woman is too infatuated, she will be easily deceived.
"The mulberry leaves have not yet fallen, but their leaves are lush." ??"The mulberry leaves have fallen, but they are yellow and fall."
The freshness and moistness of mulberry leaves is used to compare the youth and beauty of a woman. , it also implies the strong affection between two people when they are in love; the withered yellow mulberry leaves are used to compare the woman's old age and yellow pearls, and also imply the man's change of heart and emotional exhaustion. On the whole, the change of mulberry leaves from fresh and tender to withered yellow is a metaphor for the change of love life from happiness to pain.
③Xing is to preface something else to trigger the words to be chanted. It is generally used at the beginning of a poem or a chapter of poetry.
"The leaves of the mulberry tree are still lush before they fall."
Starting from the mulberry tree, it advises women not to indulge in love with men.
"The mulberry tree has fallen, and its yellow color has faded."
The mulberry tree triggered a narrative about his age, fading, and being abandoned.
"Qi has a bank, Xi has a bank."
Use the most profound scenes experienced in life to arouse inner emotions. From "sending a son to Qi, to Dunqiu", "Qi water is flowing, gradually driving curtains and clothes" to "Qi has a shore, Xi has a pan". We are crossing the same Qishui River, but as the protagonist's situation changes before and after, his mood changes accordingly.
