Bixing "Bixing" is a concept with rich meanings and many ambiguities. Mao Heng's so-called "Xing" in the Western Han Dynasty includes two situations. One means "initial" role. The Exegetical Biography of Mao Poetry says, "Xing, Qi also." It's an emotional effect caused by objects. Objects and emotions are not necessarily linked by content, but sometimes only by phonemes. "Xing" in Mao Zhuan has another meaning, which refers to a complicated and obscure metaphor. In Biography of Poetry, Zhu said, "If you are interested, you should compare with other things" and "If you are interested, you should first say other things to arouse the words you are reciting." Explain the meaning of Bi Xing simply and accurately. "Bi" refers to the introduction of figurative objects through analogy association or anyway association, and "writing something adds meaning"; "Xing" means "passion for touching things", and "other things" is the scenery described in the poem, and this kind of scenery must contain the poet's feelings when touching things. "Xing" is a more subtle and euphemistic expression than "Bi".
Usage example:
The Book of Songs is the oldest collection of poems in China, and most of its works began with Bi Xing's writing. Among them, the poem Nan Zhou Guanju successfully uses metaphor. This is a love poem. If you want to write what you think of as "women", let's start with the pheasant dove. The phrase "Guan Guan pheasant dove, in Hezhou" is both fun and comparative. The pheasant pigeon is docile by nature, which can be compared with the demure of a lady. The pheasant dove is a common bird in "Hezhou", which can remind people of the daughter who often comes to the river to collect pheasants; "Guan Guan" is the voice of men and women singing harmoniously, which can arouse the "gentleman" to think about "autumn". It can be seen that poetry itself has the functions of association, implication and symbol, which in itself brings a lot of space for the understanding of poetry.
