In ancient literary works, especially in poetry and prose, the relationship of cross-checking is often used. The manifestations of the hook-pair relationship can be contrast, duality, contradiction and so on. By comparing two or more different things, concepts or emotions, we can highlight their differences, conflicts or connections, so as to deepen readers' understanding and feelings about the works.
Through comparison or confrontation, the theme is more distinct and prominent, and the expressive force and appeal of the work are enhanced. Through comparison or contrast, the works are more vivid and more easily understood and accepted by readers. The use of cross-checking relationship can make the work more aesthetic and increase the artistic and aesthetic value of the work.
The function of hook relation
Contrast is often used in poetry. By comparing two opposite things or emotions, this poem is more vivid and powerful. For example, in Li Bai's Silent Night Thinking, "There is such bright light at the foot of my bed, is there already frost?" ; Looking up, I found that it was moonlight, sinking again, and I suddenly thought of home. " Through the contrast between the bright moonlight and the frost on the ground, I miss my hometown and look at the bright moon, which highlights the poet's homesickness and loneliness.
In a word, hook-up relationship is a common rhetorical method in literary works. Through comparison, confrontation and other means, we can achieve the purpose of strengthening expression, highlighting the theme or forming artistic effects.
