Excellent classical literature works also have high artistry.
The Book of Songs, Songs of the South, pre-Qin literature, Tang poetry, Song poetry and novels of Ming and Qing dynasties are all rich in rhetoric. After reading them, you can not only improve your literary accomplishment, but also enjoy the spirit and cultivate people's temperament. For example, in Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower", "The smoke is empty, the moon is thousands of miles away, the light is shining, and the static shadow is heavy." These four sentences, from far and near, from the air to the water, from the water to the bottom, all revolve around the theme of moonlight, either as a contrast or as a metaphor. There is movement in silence, and silence is seen in movement, which vividly depicts the moonlight of Dongting Lake thousands of miles away. It's really beautiful. Another example is Ma Zhiyuan's "Qiu Si of the Tuned Tianjingsha": "The old vines are faint, the bridges are flowing, and the old roads are thin. When the sun sets, heartbroken people are at the end of the world. " This is a poem, and the first three sentences are just a clever combination of a series of famous sentences, which constitutes an extremely bleak and desolate late autumn evening scene, which sets off the lyric of the last sentence well. No wonder people call this Sanqu "the ancestor of Qiu Si". Another example is Yang Wanli's "Little Pond": "Spring eyes are silent and precious, and the shade of trees shines on the water and loves to be clear and soft. Xiao He just showed his sharp corner, and the dragonfly had already stood on his head. " The short poem is only 28 words, but it makes the inside and outside of Xiaohetang full of commercial atmosphere: green trees, clear sky, breeze, running water, dragonflies on lotus horns, depicting the life scene of Xia Meng. Another example is Ouyang Xiu's Preface to the Drunk Pavilion: "The wild fragrance is rich, the beautiful wood is beautiful, the wind and frost are noble and clean, and the water comes out." These four sentences, through the description of representative things, highly summarize the four seasons scenery of the Zuiweng Pavilion in Langya Mountain. Flowers, trees, wind, frost, water and stones are listed one by one, which is full of interest. Harmonious phonology and neat sentence patterns are also the characteristics of this group of famous sentences. It is worth mentioning that in classical literary works, all kinds of feelings can be expressed by superb artistic techniques, such as the first half of Xin Qiji's "Shui Long Yin": "Autumn is a thousand miles away, and water flows with the day to the end of autumn. Seeing the mountains in the distance will only cause me sadness and resentment at the end of the country. These mountains are like a hairpin and a spiral coil on a woman's head. The sun in the west leans against this floor, and geese are barking in the distant sky. I am wandering in the south of the Yangtze River, homesick for a wanderer. I saw Wu Gou, and the whole column was shot. No one will attend and participate. " The author looked at the pavilion and saw thousands of miles of clear autumn, water and sky are the same color, and the vastness is like a painting mountain. Some are like women's hairpins, and some are like snail-shaped bun, which is very popular. Most people can understand this, but in the eyes of the author, they feel that they are just paying homage to sadness and resentment, and the author's mood is self-evident. Then the writer stood at the head of the city, saw the afterglow of the sunset, and heard the moan of the lonely goose, which was really shocking. So the author picked up the "Wu Gou" treasure knife around his waist and patted all over the railing to show his eagerness to resist gold and kill the enemy and make contributions. However, who can stop his mood at this time? Thus vividly and implicitly wrote the anguish and indignation of a frustrated hero. It's really lyrical and the scene blends.
