Personification is to write things as adults through imagination, or to write things as adults with people's names or words, to inject people's feelings into things, and to personalize some things without thoughts and feelings, so it has some characteristics of people. For example, Du Fu's "Delighting in Rain on a Spring Night": "Good rain knows the season, and it happens in spring. Sneak into the night with the wind and moisten things silently. " In the poem, "Good Rain" uses personification, and "Good Rain" is like a person with excellent character, doing good silently.
Imitating things is to express some strong feelings of love and hate by imagining the action or modality that makes people own things, or writing things into things. Many times it refers to turning a conscious and emotional person into an unconscious and emotionless thing. For example, Bai Juyi's "Song of Eternal Sorrow": "How we hope that two birds will become one, fly in the sky, grow together on the earth, and have two branches in one tree." Compare Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei to "two birds with one wing" and "connecting branches" to show sincere love.
