There are many ways to express poetry, and the first popular and still frequently used traditional methods of expression in our country are "fugue, ratio, and Xing". Mao Poetry Preface" said: "So the poem has six meanings: one said the wind, two said the fugue, three said than, four said the rise, five said elegant, six said the Song." The "six meanings" in the "wind, elegant, ode" refers to the "poetry" of the types of poetry, "fugue, than, Xing" is the poem in the expression.

(1) Fugue is an expressive method of stating things directly. Zhu Xi, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, said in his commentary on "Poetry Collection Biography", "Fugue is the direct statement of the matter." For example, "Ge Qin" and "Personality" in the Classic of Poetry use this technique.

(2) Comparison is the use of metaphor to depict things and express thoughts and feelings. Liu Innocenti said in "Wenxin Diao Long - Bi Xing": "And what is meant by than? Cover write things to attach meaning, Yang speech to cut things also." Zhu Xi said: "than, to the other thing than this thing also." For example, "katydids" and "rats" in the Book of Songs are written in this way.

(3) Xing is a method of writing in which an object is used to start a story, i.e., a thing is borrowed to cause the main topic of the story to be described and to express thoughts and feelings. In the Justice of Mao Poetry, Kong Yingda of the Tang Dynasty said, "Xing is to rise. Taking analogies and citing categories, starting to send their own hearts, poetry and literature all cite grass, trees, birds and animals to see the meaning of the person, all Xing rhetoric also." Zhu Xi pointed out even more clearly, "Xing is the first to speak of other things to cause the words of the chorus." For example, "Guan Suo" and "Tao Yao" in "The Book of Songs" use the expression "Xing".

These three methods of expression have been passed down, often utilized in a comprehensive manner, complementing each other, and have had a great influence on the creation of poetry through the ages.

There are many methods of poetic expression, and they have been constantly developed and created through the ages, and their use has been flexible and varied, including exaggeration, redundancy, overlapping, jumping, and so on, which is difficult to describe. But all kinds of methods can not be separated from the imagination, rich imagination is not only a major feature of poetry, but also one of the most important means of expression in poetry. In poetry, there is another important means of expression is symbolization. Symbolism, simply put, is "to symbolize righteousness", but in modern poetry, symbols are also expressed as direct images of the mind, which should be noted. From a modern point of view, there are three main ways to create an image in poetry.

Method of expression is broadly defined as the particular way of organizing statements used by the author in phrasing and expressing ideas and feelings. To analyze a piece of work, you can specifically focus on its particular mode of expression from point to point. Note: Also, since modern languages do not pay much attention to the distinction between expressive techniques and techniques of expression, the two can be considered to be unified. But if a strict distinction is to be made between expressive techniques are subordinate to expressive techniques.
