3. In Liu Chengzhang's article Ansai Waist Drum, the main rhetorical devices are (), () and ().
According to Ansai Waist Drum, the main rhetorical devices used are (parallelism), (repetition) and (metaphor).
Rhetorical devices such as parallelism, repetition and metaphor are widely used in this paper, which are magnificent, lively, hearty, vivid and touching, and fully show the charm and strength of life.
：
First, parallelism
Parallelism is a rhetorical method of arranging words or sentences with the same or similar structure, closely related meanings and consistent tone into strings. By using phrases (subject, predicate, verb, object) or sentences with the same meaning or similar structure and tone, paragraphs are side by side (three or more sentences), which can achieve an effect of strengthening language situation.
Example sentences in the text:
1. This waist drum makes the cold air hot immediately, makes the quiet sunshine splash immediately, and makes the sleeping world excited immediately.
2. Remind people that the flag of sunshine is falling and the wind in A?vagho?a is rustling!
Remind people: Thunder thousands of miles away, the flash of Wan Li!
Remind people: dark and clear, clear and dark, and then clear forever!
3. No fetters, no fetters, no obstacles. It is the power to break free, break through and break open!
4. Every dance is full of power. Every dance is spinning. Every dance is a hasty change of light and shadow. Every dance makes people tremble and marvel at the intense artistic enjoyment.
5. The more you hit it! The body has become a heavy and flying thought!
Fight harder and harder! I have no secrets in my head!
Fight harder and harder! Pain and joy, life and dreams, getting rid of and pursuing are all intertwined in this dance and drums! Rotating solidification! Go! Radiation! Surfing! Sublimate! People become boundless; Voice, turned into a vast. ...
Second, repeatedly.
Repetition is the intentional repetition of certain words, sentences or paragraphs in order to emphasize a certain meaning and highlight a certain emotion.
Example:
1 ... The heavy sound of hundreds of waist drums collided with wild jujube trees in the field on the cliff, and the cliff suddenly turned into a cowhide drum, only heard rumbling, rumbling, rumbling.
2. The heavy sound made by hundreds of waist drums collided with the hearts of all the miscellaneous audiences, and the hearts of the audience suddenly turned into cowhide drums, which were also rumbling, rumbling and rumbling.
3. On the Loess Plateau, what a magnificent, bold and vigorous dance-Ansai waist drum!
Thirdly, metaphor.
Metaphor is a common rhetorical device. It is a figure of speech to describe or explain things A with things B similar to things A, also known as "metaphor" and "analogy", which was called "bi" or "bi" in ancient China.
Example sentences in the text:
1. Behind them is a sorghum field. They are as simple as sorghum.
Hundreds of young people with oblique drums, such as hundreds of stones hit by strong earthquakes, dance wildly in front of you.
3. Like a shower, it is a rapid drum sound; Like a whirlwind, it is a flying tassel; Like a frog, it is a jumping step; Like a spark, it is a flashing pupil; Fighting tigers is a powerful charm.
4. About Ansai waist drum
First, Ansai waist drum appreciation This is a hymn of life and strength.
In the article, Ansai waist drum is not only the carrier and symbol of human vitality; It itself is the condensation of human vitality, the most full and thorough performance. In this way, the author will naturally devote all his enthusiasm and pen power to singing and praising. If one song and two praises are hard to achieve incisively and vividly, there are still three songs and three praises.
In the author's pen, it is almost impossible to tell which is the form and the content, and which is the object and the subject. The two have truly achieved a seamless unity. Don't take tedious, boring and weak long sentences, but take concise and powerful, crisp and loud short sentences; There are no long and complicated paragraphs, and a few words are self-contained.
Parallelism is widely used and has various forms: parallelism within sentences, parallelism between sentences and parallelism between paragraphs, and it can be connected up and down and staggered. It not only directly describes the majestic energy released by this waist drum, but also renders its strange effect from people's feelings, people's associations and the surrounding environment such as mountains and the echo of the earth.
From beginning to end, it is a moving and dynamic description, not a static description. The movement of the human body and the sound of the waist drum stimulate and dissolve each other in the tense of * * *, and the two are combined into one, forming an artistic whole representing the source of life and the spring of strength. -all these formal pursuits have created a fast pace, blazing atmosphere and overwhelming momentum in the article, which just complements the life force of the person the author wants to praise.
Ansai waist drum belongs to the Loess Plateau. Only people who live in this land can create such a miracle and use it to release their inner strength.
The writer is from Shaanxi Province. From his description, we can see his infinite yearning and love for the Loess Plateau and Ansai waist drum. Only in this way can he write heartily and beautifully.
This article is similar to Qiao Liang's Plateau, My China Color. If Qiao Liang's works are the overall grasp of the Chinese nation's personality characteristics, then Liu Chengzhang's Ansai Waist Drum is to objectify and concretize it.
If readers can read these two works together and compare them with each other, they will certainly have a deeper understanding of the true nature of our national character and the expression of its vitality. (Mei Chin, selected from China Prose Appreciation Library? Contemporary Volume, Baihua Literature and Art Publishing House, 1993 Edition) Second, the appreciation instruments of Ansai waist drum are often used to create momentum, render atmosphere and express feelings. Due to different regions and nationalities, it can be divided into "western" and "national", which are called wind music, string music and percussion music because of different structures and playing methods.
Ansai waist drum is a must in the Loess Plateau, and its rough, vigorous and dynamic style is integrated with the local natural environment, geographical features and folk customs. Another point is quite interesting: it is the combination of man and drum, and no musical instrument can require the combination of man and musical instrument to reach such a height.
People's performance and musical instrument "performance" are completely blended and complement each other. Therefore, the performance of success is that people borrow the drum potential, drum the power of others, and they are hearty and smooth.
The essay "Ansai Waist Drum" just captures this feature of "Ansai Waist Drum" and puts the description of people and drums in the same position. At first, people were quiet, as quiet as pure sorghum.
The wind blows the leaves, which shows their quietness. The same is true of drums, which are "dull" and "never seem to ring".
Hundreds of drummers on the Loess Plateau with sorghum as the background are destined to have an extraordinary performance! Suddenly broke out and exploded. The author used metaphor to create this magnificent, bold and fierce battle: showers, cyclones, frogs, sparks and tigers.
Waist drum has changed people's feelings and aroused people's association, and the highest state of all this is "breaking free"-"bondage", "breaking through"-"fetter", "knocking open"-"blocking". Real poetry needs to be sung repeatedly, which is a tradition since the Book of Songs.
Repetition and parallelism are necessary means to create rhythm, render atmosphere and express feelings. It should be reminded that "repetition" is not "repetition", nor is it the simple appearance of the same word, sentence or paragraph more than twice.
In Ansai waist drum, every sentence "What Ansai waist drum" has a new feeling, new connotation and new scene. What is an Ansai waist drum determines the basic pitch, color, atmosphere and main spiritual trend for the whole article. No matter how you shake it up and down, how long your hair is, and how you fly, you can't go too far. This is one of the writing routines and the root of the article "this way" rather than "that way".
The "spiritual connotation" of this article is also here: "No fetters, no fetters, no obstacles. This is a kind of power to break free, break through and open! "These two closely connected paragraphs are the unchanging souls flowing in all actions, situations and chapters. Every sigh and discussion in the future will never leave it.
Please pay attention to the following places: in the "magnificent * * * ……" paragraph, the phrase "the occurrence and release of labor pains …" expresses the excitement and pride of the motherland entering a new era after the reform and opening up; "In addition to the Loess Plateau, where there is such a thick soil layer!" It can be understood as a metaphor for the glorious history of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and it is a solid premise and foundation for the nation to stand on its own feet and strive for greater glory. The appearance of four short paragraphs and short sentences in short paragraphs has played a role in deepening the theme, warming up feelings and enhancing strength. It was quiet at the beginning and "another planet" at the end. This sudden outbreak and sudden stop arrangement is obviously not ingenious.
Its direct effect is that the main part becomes more fiery, lively and imposing because of the silence at the beginning and end. The connotation of "Ansai waist drum" is extremely rich, but different people can have different understandings of "endless poetry".
Just feel this rhythm, this momentum, this color, this energetic young man, this pure reading.
5. Ansai waist drum information
Ansai waist drum has a long history and unique style. It combines dance, song and martial arts, and has the characteristics of changeable formation, firmness and boldness.
Nowadays, Ansai waist drum has stepped out of the Loess Plateau and spread all over the country with a rough and unconstrained image. Waist drum is a popular form of folk encouragement in northern Shaanxi, especially in Ansai County, Yan 'an, Hengshan Mountain, Mizhi and Yulin, and it is one of the most influential folk dances in Shaanxi.
The waist drum in northern Shaanxi has a broad mass base and a long history of development. In some major areas, almost every village has a drum team and every family has a drummer.
And handed down from generation to generation, enduring. It is precisely because of its long spread, wide range and large number of participants that the basic form and dynamic rhythm of dance are basically the same, but in different regions, different performance styles and customs have been formed.
Ansai waist drum is one of the representatives. Ansai waist drum mostly adopts the form of collective performance, and drummers (called "drums" or "kicking drums") range from dozens to hundreds.
The team includes the roles of flower girl, umbrella head, savage girl and savage man, as well as various small programs such as "running donkey" and "water boat", forming a vast folk dance team. The performance emphasizes the overall effect, requiring uniform movements and standardized formation changes. The masculine beauty of men living on the Loess Plateau is fully demonstrated by the drummer's bold and rough dance and powerful drumming skills.
Ansai waist drum has a complete performance program and activity custom. In the past, most of them performed in festive festivals and temple fairs, and the Spring Festival to Lantern Festival was a concentrated activity time every year.
Before the start of the activity, the chairman of the temple fair (elected by each village) will organize a sacrificial activity called "Worship the Temple": the dance team, led by the umbrella head, will beat gongs and drums, play suona, and sometimes bring the whole pig and sheep to the temple to burn incense and worship the gods, hoping that the gods will bless the good weather, the country and the people. And played in the square of the temple for a while to entertain the gods.
After the "temple worship", after the eighth day of the first month, the waist drum team began to pay New Year greetings from door to door, commonly known as "along the door". There is a local proverb: "The gongs and drums ring straight, and the sticks are pried under * * * *!" The crowd could not sit still.
At this time, the waist drum team walked around the village in turn and performed in front of the main courtyard and kiln for a while. According to the situation of each family, the umbrella head sang several auspicious yangko songs to express the meaning of the New Year. The main family thinks that the waist drum team can knock, jump and sing at home, which can eliminate disasters and take refuge, and can be safe all year round.
This may be the legacy of the ancient custom of "villagers Nuo". Sometimes the waist drums of the two teams will meet on the way. Generally, umbrellas sing yangko to each other to celebrate the New Year and make way for each other. However, sometimes there will be situations where there is no compromise. At this moment, we must compete and compete.
Two teams of gongs and drums are loud, suona sound and waist drum sound, like spring thunder rolling. Drummers beat and danced as much as they could, like crazy, until the drum music stopped and the umbrellas of both sides came out to sing, which is also an aspect of competition skills.
Until there is a team whose horns are confused first, whose movements are uneven, whose drums and formations are not uniform, or whose songs cannot be correctly aligned, even if they lose, they will take the initiative to give way and let the winner go first. After the "Yanmenzi", the waist drum teams in neighboring villages will also exchange New Year greetings, exchange visits and exchange performances with each other, which, like the northern Shaanxi Yangko, is called "building colorful gates".
On the fifteenth day of the first month, the village waist drum teams gathered in the square and began to compete with each other. Drummers from all walks of life show their skills and compete with each other, becoming the * * * performers of waist and drum performances in a year.
This not only enlivened the rural cultural activities during the Spring Festival, but also promoted the popularization and improvement of waist drum through mutual observation and learning skills. There will also be a "Lantern Turn" (also known as "Nine Turn") that night, and almost everyone will compete for a turn, and the whole family will turn together.
At that time, drums will ring, lights will flash, waist drum team will lead in front, and then everyone will present a lively and extraordinary scene. The activities of the waist drum team often last until the 17th and 18th of the first month, and the sacrifice to the land god ends.
Since then, the villagers have set their minds at ease to prepare for spring ploughing production. The performance forms of waist drum can be roughly divided into "road drum" and "field drum".
"Road Drum" is a performance form of waist drum team jumping while walking. There are two umbrella heads leading the dance in front, followed by a dance team consisting of a drum bearer and a flower puller. The drum behind the umbrella head is called the "head drum". He must be a skilled drummer, and the movement changes and rhythm of the whole team are slow, so he is responsible. Behind the parade, there are clowns dressed as barbarians and barbarians, as well as the Monkey King and Pig Bajie who are dressed as Tang Priest to learn from the scriptures, twisting and teasing at will to add festive atmosphere.
Because the "road drum" is carried out on the road, the action is generally simple and the amplitude is small, and "cross step", "walk step" and "horse stance just look around the waist" are often used. Wait for action. Commonly used formations are "single crossing", "double crossing", "single dragon wagging its tail" and "double dragon wagging its tail".
"Field drum" refers to the performance form after the waist drum team arrives at the performance site and opens the venue. At first, the umbrella head waved an umbrella order, and immediately drums and music sounded, and dancers danced with the umbrella head.
This section is called "stepping on a big field" and the performance rhythm is slow. The purpose is to open the venue, open the team and stabilize the audience's mood. In the second paragraph, singing and dancing, the performance rhythm is getting faster and faster, the movement range is bigger, and the formation changes greatly.
Commonly used formations are "stupa", "ancient temple", "hanging gold medals in front of the gods", "wealth will never stop" and "monks swimming into the door". After drawing the "solar arc" pattern, the umbrella head stands in the center of the venue to lead the yangko, and the lyrics depend on the occasion and object. When "worshipping the temple", there are ceremonies to pay homage to the temple. Generally, performances include New Year greetings, celebrating the harvest and wishing good luck.
When the umbrella head sings, the dancer slowly turns around on the sidelines and repeats the last sentence of each paragraph, commonly known as "the next sound". After singing, the umbrella head withdrew from the venue, drums and flowers were carried into the venue to perform, and various complex and changeable formations were stepped out.
At this moment, regardless of the time limit, the dancers have their own unique skills, and their emotions are warm and ups and downs, making the performance reach * * *. In recent years, in order to highlight the skill of drum set, Ansai Waist Drum performed drum set alone in the venue when performing "venue drum".
Drummers are in high spirits and dancing wildly under the command of Reuters Drum. At this time, I saw drumsticks waving, colored silks flying, drums thundering, shaking the earth, imposing and extremely infectious. After this paragraph ends, insert it again.
