(There are similarities between things)
Metaphor is divided into three forms: explicit, implicit and borrowed. The form of explicit metaphor can be abbreviated as follows: A (the body) such as (metaphor: like, like, if, as if, as if, as if) B (metaphor). The form of the implicit metaphor can be abbreviated as follows: A is (Metonymy: to become, to turn into, to become, to take as, to be made into) B. The explicit metaphors are similar in form, while the implicit metaphors are conjunctive. Borrowed metaphors: only the metaphor appears, the body and the metaphor do not appear. Such as: the bird of prey know the will of the great swan! See the table below:

It can transform abstraction into image, so that readers better understand; it can be from this to the other, evoking people's rich associations; it can be unconventional, lively lines; it can be accurately expressed, far-reaching meaning; it can enrich the mood of the poem, constituting a special artistic beauty. The most typical example: "The breeze passes by, sending a wisp of fragrance, as if the distant high building remote singing."

17. Intertext:
With repair intertext, also known as mutual rhetoric, is a rhetorical method often used in ancient poetry and literature. In ancient texts, the meaning belonging to one sentence (or phrase) is divided into two sentences (or phrases), and the meaning of the upper and lower sentences should be complemented with each other when explaining, that is intertext.
Anciently, it is explained as "to refer to each other as a text, to contain and to see the text." Specifically, it is a form in which the two sentences above and below, or the two parts of a sentence, seem to say one thing each, but in fact they echo each other, elucidate each other, complement each other, and say one thing.
For example:
Qin Shi Ming Yue Han Shi Guan.
The smoke covers the cold water and the moon covers the sand.
Generals die in a hundred battles, strong men return in ten years.
The master dismounted from his horse and the guests boarded the boat, and they raised their wine without any strings.
When reading ancient prose works, it is often easy to overlook some sentences that use intertextual techniques if they are not carefully thought out and savored.
For example:
(1) Smiling sweetly, he confuses Yangcheng and charms Xia Cai. (Song Yu's "Dengtu Zi Lustful Fugue") means, "Her slight smile bewitched all the gentry in Yangcheng and Xia Cai."
(2) Zi Jian recited the documents as if he were reciting from his mouth, while Zhong Xuan lifted his pen as if he were constructing a book. (《文心雕龙? Shen Si") means, "When Cao Zhi and Wang Ch'ang laid down their paper and took up their pens to write, it was as if they had written it beforehand and memorized it."
(3) Qi and Wei were forced to garrison, and Jing and Han were called up. (Li Hua, "Essay on Hanging Ancient Battlefields") Qi, Wei, Jing (Chu) Han and other Warring States period monarchs recruited soldiers for the purpose of corvée guarding the borders."
(4) The humongous officials come to our township, clamoring to the east and west, co?oing to the north and south. (Liu Zongyuan's "The Snake Catcher's Sayings") means, "Fierce and violent officials come to our village, shouting and clamoring everywhere and harassing the people everywhere." The phrase "east, west, south, north and south" here refers to "everywhere" in general.
(5) Not to be happy with things, not to be sad. (Fan Zhongyan's "The Records of Yueyang Tower") means, "Not to be happy or sad because of the influence of external objects, nor to be happy or sad because of one's personal situation, good or bad."
18. Loop:
You can read it forward or backward, but both are fluent and not incoherent!
For example:
The water of the pool rings in the pool of ringing water; the gold in the valley of yellow gold.
Foshan Xiang honors Xiangshan Buddha; Wengyuan Milk raises Wengyuan Weng.
Star Island Harbor welcomes the star of Hong Kong Island.
Customer on the natural residence, actually heavenly guest.
People pass by the Great Buddha Temple, the Temple Buddha is bigger than people.
19. empathy:
In order to emphasize some kind of strong feelings, the writer consciously gives some objective things with their own feelings, but in fact does not exist, such a rhetorical device is called empathy.
Using the rhetorical device of empathy, the subjective feelings are firstly moved to the things, and in turn the infected things are used to set off the subjective emotions, so that the things and people are one and the same, which can better express the strong feelings of the human being and play the rhetorical effect.
For example:
①The dew is white from tonight, and the moon is bright in the hometown.
(Du Fu's "Moonlight Night Memories of Sherbrooke")
②The flowers spattered with tears when I feel the time, and the birds startled when I hate to say goodbye.
(Du Fu, "Spring Hope")
3) The clear and merciless, the sadness of the time alone to the east.
(Du Fu's "Twenty Miscellaneous Poems of Qinzhou")
④The traveling palace is sad when it sees the moon,
and the bells break my heart when I hear them in the night rain.
(Bai Juyi's "Song of Long Hate"
⑤Turning to the vermilion pavilion, lowering to the beautiful house, illuminating the sleeplessness, there should be no hatred, why should it be rounded in the direction of the other time? (Su Shi's "Song of Water")
6) The red beans are too much to look at, and the eyes are full of tears of longing.
(Niu Xi Ji's "Sheng Zha Zi")
The meaning of the two lines of the above example is that the dew is especially white from tonight onwards, and the moon is especially bright because it is from the hometown. Why is this so? Because the poet Du Fu experienced the great turmoil of the Anshi Rebellion, in the country's future, personal destiny is constantly being hit, had to abandon his post in the fall of 759 BC to Qinzhou (present-day Tianshui, Gansu Province) guest house. In this cold and desert border town, the poet moved his feelings of missing his hometown to the dew color and moonlight, and in turn used the infected dew color and moonlight to set off the poet's feelings of missing his hometown, so as to make the matter and the person as one, thus better expressing the poet's strong feelings of missing his hometown. The meaning of the two lines in Example 2 is: lamenting the loss of the country, the flowers shed tears of sadness; hating the family's displacement and dispersal, the birds' call stirs the heart of sorrow. Flowers and birds are natural phenomena, there is no human emotion, the poet used the rhetorical technique of empathy, in order to write such touching poems. Example (3) says that the water of the Weihe River only goes east when people are sad; Example (4) says that the moon emits a light that makes people sad, and the bell rings a sound that makes people break their hearts; Example (5) says that the moon emits a light that makes people sad; Example (6) says that the moon emits a light that makes people sad. Example 4 says that the moon emits a light that makes people look sad, and the bell rings a sound that makes people listen to the sound of "broken hearts"; Example 5 says that the moon often becomes round when people part; Example 6 says that the red bean is not a red bean, but a tear of "lovesickness". All of the above examples use the rhetorical device of empathy, moving human feelings to things. In this way, human feelings and things become one, which can better express people's strong feelings.
The difference between empathy and shift is that: empathy is to move the subjective feelings of people to the objective things, and in turn, the objective things infected with set off the subjective emotions, so that things and people as a whole, to be able to express strong feelings more centrally; shift is that A and B are two things related to the original belonging to the description of A things (or people) of the rhetorical language to belong to the things of the B is a kind of words to live in the rhetorical device. In short, the former is "to move human feelings and things"; the latter is "to move the words describing, A things (or people) to describe B things."
The difference between empathy and anthropomorphism is that the former is "to move human feelings and things"; the latter is "to write about things as if they were people".
20. Calling out:
When writing an essay, calling out directly to a person or thing that is not in front of you and talking to him or her is a rhetorical device called calling out.
The use of calling out can increase the lyrical effect and strengthen the infectious force.
Example (1): the rat! The rats! No food for my millet. --Shi Jing. The Fruitful Mouse"
Example (2): Oh my God! Why are you doing this to me?
Example (3): Autumn, I hear you have come.
