2, the difference:
The symbols in (1) symbols are all concrete, the symbolized ontology, namely "concept, thought and emotion", is abstract, and the vehicle and ontology in metaphor are usually concrete.

1. Metaphor: A figure of speech in which two things with different degrees are similar to each other, and one thing is used as a metaphor for the other. Metaphor generally consists of three parts, namely, ontology (things or scenes to be compared), vehicle and figurative words (symbolic words of figurative relations).
2. Exaggeration: In order to achieve a certain expression effect, the method of deliberately expanding or narrowing the image, characteristics, function and degree of things is called exaggeration. Clearly express the author's feelings and attitudes towards things, highlight the essential characteristics of things, set off the atmosphere, enhance the appeal and enhance the vividness of language.
3. parallelism: arrange three or more sentences with similar structure and length, consistent tone, related meaning or the same. Strengthen the language situation and language atmosphere, so that the article has a stronger sense of rhythm and better organization, which is more conducive to expressing strong feelings (expression effect). Enhance the language situation, highlight some characteristics of something, and express some feelings of the author.
4. Repetition: In order to highlight a certain meaning and emphasize a certain feeling, deliberately repeat a word or sentence. Repetition refers to the repeated use of certain words or sentences in order to emphasize a certain meaning or highlight a certain emotion, and the focus to be expressed is on the repeated words or sentences.
Mainly used in poetry, it plays the role of reciting and expressing strong feelings repeatedly. At the same time, repeated rhetorical devices can also make the format of poetry orderly, ups and downs, and beautiful language.
5. Duality: a pair of phrases or sentences with the same number of words, the same or basically the same structural form and symmetrical meaning, expressing two relative or similar meanings. Neat symmetry, strong sense of rhythm, high generalization, easy memory and musical beauty.
