What are the common expressions in The Book of Songs?

There are three ways to express The Book of Songs: Fu, Bi and Xing.

1 "bi", which Zhu interpreted as "comparing this thing with that thing", means metaphor. Metaphors are used in many places and in various ways in The Book of Songs.

2. Xing refers to borrowing something else to derive the meaning of this thing, which is equivalent to the current symbolic rhetoric. The word "xing" in The Book of Songs is interpreted by Zhu as "talking about other things first, so as to stimulate what is sung", that is, paving the way for what is sung by other things.

It is often used at the beginning of a poem or a chapter. Sometimes when a sentence in a poem looks interesting, whether it is interesting can be judged by whether it is used at the beginning of a sentence or paragraph. For example, in Feng Wei's self-protection, "Mulberry leaves are flourishing before they fall" means prosperity. About the most primitive "xing" is just a beginning, which has nothing to do with the following, but shows drift and association for no reason.

Fu Shuo's truth is that people express their thoughts, feelings and related things in a straightforward way. In a long poem, exposition and parallelism are often used together. Layout is a series of closely related landscape images, events, characters and behaviors, which form a group of sentences with basically the same structure and tone in a certain order.

It can not only write incisively and delicately, but also concentrate on strengthening the language potential, and also render a certain environment, atmosphere and emotion. Fu is the most basic expression. Give priority to xing, or give it after xing. In Fu style, especially in Fu Lihua's Meihan Fu, Fu method is widely used.

Some five-character poems in Han Yuefu and Han Dynasty also interacted with Han Fu. What's more, they combined parallel prose with parallel prose and brought out the best in each other.
