When two rabbits walk together, you can see whether I am a male or a female.
On the Rhetoric Beauty of Mulan's Poems
Mulan Poem
Folk songs in northern dynasties
Chatting, Mulan is knitting at home. I can't hear the loom, but I hear the woman sigh.
Ask a woman what she thinks and what she remembers. Women have nothing to think about, and women have nothing to remember. Last night, I saw the military post (tiè). Khan sent more troops, and there are twelve volumes of the art of war, all of which have the main names. Grandpa has no eldest son, Mulan has no big brother, and she is willing to be a pommel horse, so she will sign for him from now on.
Buy horses in the East, saddles in the West, reins in the South and whips in the North.
When I said goodbye to my parents, I was by the Yellow River at dusk. I didn't hear my parents calling for a female voice, but I heard the Yellow River splashing. When I bid farewell to the Yellow River, I went to Montenegro at dusk, but I didn't hear my parents calling for women, but I heard the chirp of Yanshan Hu Qi.
Wan Li to Rongji, the mountain is flying. New moon, air, and gold (j and NTU), cold light, iron clothes. The general died in battle, and the strong man returned in ten years.
See you later, the son of heaven is sitting in the hall. Policy 12 turn, before reward 100. Khan asked him what he wanted, and Mulan didn't need Shang Shulang. I am willing to send my son back to his hometown.
Hearing the news of my daughter, I went out to help Guo (Ji ā ng); Sister A (zǐ) heard that her younger sister was coming and took care of her red makeup. When I heard my sister coming, I sharpened my knife at pigs and sheep. Open my East Pavilion door, sit on my West Pavilion bed, take off my wartime robe, and wear my old clothes as a window and mirror. When I went out to meet the fire companions, I was both surprised and busy: I spent twelve years together, but I didn't know Mulan was a girl.
Male rabbits have messy feet and female rabbits have blurred eyes; When two rabbits walk side by side, can I tell if I am a male or a female?
Mulan Poetry is a representative work of Yuefu folk songs in the Northern Dynasties and an excellent narrative poem in ancient Chinese poetry. The poem tells that Mulan joined the army instead of her father, disguised herself as a soldier for ten years without being seen through, and her achievements were not paid, which reflected the virtues of ancient working women, such as diligence and wisdom, deep understanding of righteousness, and no greed for fame and fortune. Mulan's love for the motherland is intertwined with her love for her relatives. She is a heroine of the Chinese nation and a working woman with human feelings. This poem also shows superb aesthetic art, which mainly comes from the use of rhetorical devices. Let's talk about the use of rhetoric and its aesthetic effect.
First of all, the beauty of asking questions
Tan Yongxiang said in China's Rhetoric Aesthetics: "Ask your own questions and answer them yourself, or just ask them without answering them. This rhetorical device is called rhetorical question. " Its aesthetic function is to attract people's attention, inspire people's thinking, produce strong desire psychology, or to enhance the literary trend and improve the sense of art. What do women think in Mulan Poetry? Ask the woman what she remembers. Women have nothing to think about, and women have nothing to remember. These four sentences use rhetorical devices. The rhetorical devices used by the poet not only led to the conscription, but also attracted readers' attention, making them think about why Mulan sighed. Through this question and answer, the poem added a strong human touch.
Second, the beauty of repetition.
Repetition is a rhetorical device used to express strong feelings and firm will, and to repeat the same word or sentence repeatedly to strengthen the meaning of the word. Its aesthetic effect mainly lies in emphasizing and strengthening the sense of rhythm, enhancing the appeal and improving the expression effect. What do women think in Mulan Poetry? Ask the woman what she remembers? " Repeated rhetoric means that parents are eager to find their daughter's heart and keep asking questions. This not only reflects the parents' concern for their daughter, but also reflects the daughter's love for her parents, which makes the poem more human and lays the foundation for her father to join the army later.
Thirdly, the beauty of metaphor.
In poetry, poets use metaphors. The so-called metonymy means that ontology and metaphor do not appear, and metaphor refers to ontology directly. Its aesthetic effect is implicit, which makes poetry interesting and profound. In Mulan Poetry, the last paragraph uses metaphor (metaphor), "The male rabbit's feet are complicated, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred;" When two rabbits walk beside the ground, can Ann tell whether I am a male or a female? " The poet used the rabbit Albert Nobbs as a metaphor for Mulan's difficulty in distinguishing sex after disguise. In this way, Mulan not only shows her simplicity and wit, but also adds humorous interest to her poems.
Fourth, the beauty of parallelism
Rhetorically, the structure is the same or similar. A figure of speech in which three or more sentences or sentence elements with the same tone and related meanings are arranged side by side. Its aesthetic effect lies in strengthening language posture, emphasizing content and deepening feelings. In Mulan Poem, the poet lists four directions by parallelism, namely, east, west, saddle, bridle in the south and whip in the north, indicating various meanings. In this way, through the arrangement, it not only caused a military emergency and a busy atmosphere in installation, but also made Mulan's story unfold in a tense fighting atmosphere, thus enhancing the appeal of poetry. Another example is "when parents heard that their daughter was coming, they went out to help Guo;" As soon as Sister A heard that Sister Mei was coming, she had to cut her red makeup. As soon as I heard that my sister came, I sharpened my knife to pigs and sheep. " The poet also used the rhetorical device of parallelism. Through parallelism, it not only shows the modality of family reunion, describes the scene of reunion, but also makes the poem lively and beautiful, taking care of the affection of "Grandpa has no eldest son, Mulan has no eldest brother, and is willing to be a pommel horse for the city, so he will sign for him from now on".
Fifth, the beauty of exaggeration
In rhetoric, the author consciously exaggerates or narrows the description of objective things to emphasize and highlight their essential characteristics, which is called exaggeration. Its aesthetic effect is to highlight the essence of things, attract readers' attention and emphasize the author's emotion. In Mulan's poem, "Twelve volumes of the art of war, each with a grandfather's name." Through exaggeration, the poet highlighted the urgency of the military situation and the urgency of the situation, showed the inevitability of enlistment, and paved the way for Mulan to join the army instead of her father. Another example is, "Twelve turns of policy honor, before awarding 100." Through exaggeration, the poet shows the special merits of Mulan and the thickness given by the emperor, so as to emphasize Mulan's noble sentiment that she is not burdened by fame and fortune, and also reflect Mulan's simple and kind nature.
