What's the difference between simile and metaphor?

1, the metaphor is different.

Simile: like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like. ...

Simile is a metaphor in which noumenon, vehicle and figurative words all appear. For example, this early autumn night is like a lotus-root colored gauze shirt, with a touch of sadness. (He Qifang's Begonia)

Metaphor: yes, become, become, become.

Metaphor, also known as metaphor, only appears in ontology and vehicle, and there is no need to use metaphorical words or metaphors such as "yes, change, change, etc." For example:

Aesthetic memory is the most precious industry in life, and the instinct to know beauty is a key that God gives us to enter heaven. (Xu Zhimo's Mansfield)

2. The form of ontology is different.

① Simile: the ontology, vehicle and figurative words of metaphor all appear separately;

(2) Metaphor: Ontology and vehicle appear at the same time in the sentence.

3. The relationship between ontology and carrier is different.

Metaphor: the relationship between ontology and vehicle is consistent in form.

Extended data:

There are many forms of metaphor expression, but some of them are unique to ancient Chinese, which are different from modern Chinese, even very different. For example, nouns that express the vehicle in a predicate-object way can be used flexibly as verbs, and the ontology acts as its object.

Mustard is 1000 yuan, but I have no hope. (Kong Yixuan's "Beishan Wen Yi"); Three rivers and five lakes in Jin, controlling barbarians and attracting Ouyue. (Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting); If you abuse people and hurt things, you are a jackal. Why do you have to cut your teeth and eat human flesh? (Bai Juyi's Du Lingcuo); My son and I are fishing by the river. We are friends of fish, shrimp and elk ... (Su Shi's "Former Red Cliff Fu"); I am here today, and everyone borrowed it from my brother. After I am one hundred years old, I will be all fish. Therefore, the analysis of metaphorical sentences should first distinguish between ancient Chinese and modern Chinese.
