Water tastes like nothing, but ripples come from it. ...

Water tastes (often) tasteless, and it will ripple; There is no fire in the stone, but it shines when it is lit. ""learn from each other's strengths and build a good jade "

How did the famous Yuping Xiao Di, also known as "Xiao Ping Jade Emperor", "Little Dragon Di Feng" and "Shen Xiaoxian Emperor" get this nickname? There are geographical reasons, historical reasons and cultural reasons.

First, it is difficult to see the whole leopard by observing only one point.

Only from the geographical name, some people think that "Jade Emperor of Xiao Ping" is "Xiao in Pingxi Town, Emperor of Yuping County", and Yuping County is located in Pingxi Town, which was awarded the title of "Hometown of Xiao Di Art" by the Provincial Department of Culture. Geographically, the origin of "Xiao Ping Jade Emperor" is good.

Only from the historical evolution, some people think that "Yu Di in Xiao Ping" is "Xiao Wei in Pingxi, the flute in Yuping County". Isn't the predecessor of Yuping County Pingxiwei? From the historical background, The Yu Di, Xiao Ping is also good.

However, it is not appropriate for some people to interpret "Xiao Ping Yu Di" as "the Wei people in Pingxi started to make flutes, and Yuping County started to make flutes". The name "Jade Emperor of Xiao Ping" has not only geographical and historical reasons, but also deeper cultural reasons.

Second, mutual rhetoric, clever use of flute and flute

The name "Jade Emperor of Xiao Ping" was originally a clever use of intertextual rhetoric. "Ping" and "Yu" literally belong to "Xiao" and "Di", but they refer to each other in meaning, that is, "Ping (flow) and (screen)".

What is intertextuality? As early as the Tang Dynasty, it was introduced in Jia's Notes to the Book of Rites: "Those who speak intertextuality are all those who keep their words on one side, so the cloud is intertextuality." In today's reform and opening up, there are more and more researches and introductions about intertextuality. For example:

1. The article in the 80/4 issue of Sinology said: "Intertextuality means that the above contains the words that will appear below, and the following contains the words that have already appeared above, which is commonly called intertextuality."

2. 1986 The rhetoric of ancient Chinese said: "In a sentence, some words complement each other according to contextual conditions, which is called intertextuality."

3. The Dictionary of Chinese Grammar and Rhetoric published by1988 says: "Intertextuality refers to rhetorical methods with different meanings. Also known as "mutual character", "mutual character", "mutual text is enough" and "text is mutual preparation."

4. The Compilation of Figures of Speech published by1991says: "Two or more relatively independent language structures are spliced together to express a complete ideological content; In other words, the words that appear below are omitted from the top, and the words that appear above are omitted from the bottom, and they are written into each other, which is well-founded. This rhetorical device is called intertextuality. "

Since ancient times, people have studied, introduced and applied intertextuality in many aspects.

Take poetry as an example. There is a saying in Wang Changling's "Out of the Great Wall" in the Tang Dynasty that "Qin Mingyue passed the customs, and people did not return on the Long March". In Shen Deqian's On Poetry, it is explained that "the frontier defense city started in Qin and Han Dynasties, the bright moon belongs to Qin Dynasty, the customs belong to Han Dynasty, and the poems intertexture". It means that the Great Wall was built to defend against the Huns, which began in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the scene of the bright moon shining on the fortress was already like this in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Qin, Han, Mingyue and Guan. It is difficult to explain the above poem if you understand it literally, rather than from intertextuality.

Take Wen as an example. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Li Daoyuan wrote "Lin Su" in Notes on the Three Gorges in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Lin Hejian literally belongs to "cold" and "element", but in fact it is cold and element with the same meaning.

Take the idiom as an example, "vows of eternal love" means "vows of eternal love", and "mountain" and "sea" literally belong to "alliance" and "oath", but they are actually intertextual. Similarly, "Xiao Ping Jade Emperor", "Little Dragon Di Feng" and "Shen Xiaoxian Emperor", as nicknames of Yuping Xiao Di, can also be said to be idioms applied in a certain range, all of which belong to the ingenious use of intertextual figures of speech, meaning "Ping (Xi) Jade (Ping) Xiao Di", "Dragon Peak Emperor" and "Fairy Little Emperor".

What is the need to use intertextual rhetoric? 1. Economically, because each has its own side and its own text, such as "Pingxi Yu Di", it has a deeper sense of history and a deeper sense of weight than simply saying "Pingxi flute" and "Yuping flute", and it has more text than collectively calling "Pingxi-Yuping flute". Second, wit, prepare texts for each other and understand each other's meaning, but the meaning is not obvious. Combining up and down, discovering each other, the meaning is complete. Thirdly, the use of intertextuality can make the language vivid, orderly in structure, harmonious in sound and beautiful in rhythm.

Intertextuality and duality are different: intertextuality is mainly in meaning (referring to each other's writing, combination and meaning); Duality focuses on the formal aspect of sentence structure (two symmetrical and orderly sentences). Most intertextuality is not dual; Most duality is not intertextuality; If it is both intertextuality and duality, it is the dual use of two figures of speech: "Xiao Ping in the land", "Shen Xiaoxian in the land" and "Little Dragon Di Feng".

Three, Cauchy, Yuping outstanding figures

It's no accident that Yuping became the famous hometown of flutes. When using the words "beautiful and natural, outstanding people and outstanding people".

Yuping, known as Xiong Xi in ancient times, is one of the five famous streams in the prosperous period of Han and Tang Dynasties. Xiong Qiankao, the Annals of Yuping County, contains: "Xiong Qiangu was a wild land, named Pingxi in Song and Yuan Dynasties, and Yiping in Xiong Xi. It is also seen that the naming of the predecessors is meaningful. " When did the name "Pingxi" appear? "Yuping County Records" contains: "In the first year of Xiaozong Road, Zhaoping Creek Cave changed its market". That is, in 1 165, the emperor issued an order to establish a mutual market between Pingxi and Dongdong. This is the earliest official record of the name of Pingxi, and it is also the beginning of the rise of the official market in Pingxi. Originally from the imperial decree. "Yuping County Records City" also contains: "In the twenty-second year of Ming Hongwu, Xu Sheng and others were ordered to supervise the construction of the Acropolis. That is, in A.D. 1389, Wei commanded Xu Sheng and others to build Wei and build a city in Pingxi. In the early Ming dynasty, there were only 329 guards in China, and the commander of the guards was a military attache, which was divided into three grades. It can be seen that the Acropolis is more important than the county town where Qipin official sits. By 1389, Pingxi had a government-run market for more than 200 years, and a new acropolis with a very important military position was built, which seemed to be a complete ancient city. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (1403- 1424), it was also "setting up a post at the east gate of the Acropolis" (see "Setting up a post in Yuping County Records and Pingxi"). At this point, Pingxi not only had waterway shipping since 279 BC, but also increased the land post road, and the car was non-stop. " Land and water transportation, ship and car comparison. " (See "County Records"). The development of transportation further promoted the prosperity of commerce and laid a solid social foundation for the emergence of "Xiao Ping Yu Di" in Yongle.
