Functions of Bi Xing Sentences

"Bi Xing" originally contains two figures of speech, namely "Bi Xing" and "Xing". However, when people talk about classical poetry and folk songs, they are often associated with Bi Xing, which is mainly used as a metaphor and sometimes refers to the method of "Xing". Because "Xing Xing" has the function of arousing and associating, it is often placed at the beginning of a chapter. At the beginning of the two chapters of the Book of Songs Feng Weimang, the technique of "Xing" is used: "The mulberry is not falling, and the leaves are Mao." "When the mulberry falls, it falls yellow." The content of Feng Wei's Cutting Tan in the Book of Songs satirizes the ruler's living expenses, and every paragraph in the poem begins with cutting Tan. The poem "Peacock Flying Southeast" by Han Yuefu begins with "Peacock Flying Southeast and Wandering Five Miles", which uses concrete images to render the atmosphere, stimulate readers' imagination, create a sentimental artistic conception, and also cause the following stories, which plays a leading role in the whole article.

For example, "Poem for Jiao Zhongqing's Wife" begins with "Peacock flies southeast, falling in five miles", which stimulates readers' imagination with concrete images, from the love of beautiful birds to the separation of husband and wife, thus casting a tragic atmosphere on the whole poem, playing a dominant role in the whole poem and causing the following story. Another example is Tao Yuanming's Return to the Garden, which compares himself to "birds love the old forest and pond fish miss the old garden" to show the poet's feelings of hating officialdom and returning to nature. There are also some simple sentences without metaphor, but the overall image is metaphor, such as "Far Altair" in Nineteen Ancient Poems: "Far Altair, Jiao Jiao Hehan Female. Skillful hands, make a loom. There is no chapter all day, and tears are pouring down. What's the difference between a clear river and a shallow one? Ying Ying is easy to water, and his pulse is silent. " The whole poem uses the folk story that Cowherd and Weaver Girl face each other across the river and can't meet again to describe the lovesickness of a sad young woman, which is subtle and touching.

The rise of poetry itself has the functions of association, implication and symbol, which in itself brings a lot of space for the understanding of poetry.

In a word, the application of Bixing technique enhances the vividness and distinctiveness of ancient poetry, increases the charm and image appeal of poetry, and makes it exude charming artistic charm forever.
