- To compare, It is a metaphor, which uses specific images to explain things. In terms of modern rhetoric, they are divided into simile, metaphor and metonymy.

Metaphor (is, becomes, becomes): Xiao Ming is a naughty monkey
Metaphor: That monkey is so naughty! (Monkey = Xiao Ming, not a real monkey!)
Qixing as a method of expression. The so-called "Qixing" refers to the expression method of "Xing" in classical poetry, "preface other things to Cause what is said." Specifically speaking, before explaining the truth, first say something, and then expand on it, so as to thoroughly explain the relevant truth.
The so-called Fu, Bi and Xing are the main expression techniques in The Book of Songs. "Fu" means to elaborate, to state things directly without using metaphors. "Bi" is a metaphor, comparing another thing to this thing. "Xing" means association, emotion caused by the scene, and excitement caused by things. This artistic expression technique is the main visualization method for poetry creation, and has had a profound and far-reaching influence on the poetry creation of later generations.

The so-called Yiren is on the side of the water.
If you follow it to trace the path, the road is long and blocked;
If you follow it to trace the path, you will find it in the middle of the water.
There is bright moonlight in front of the bed,
I suspect it is frost on the ground,
Looking up at the bright moon,
< p>Bow your head and miss your hometown.
