Comprehensive application of figures of speech

In language practice, figures of speech are often used synthetically, and the common forms are continuous use, simultaneous use and reporting.

(a) use together

Refers to the use of two or more identical or different figures of speech, in which there is no cross phenomenon. For example:

On a summer night in the south of the Yangtze River, frogs sound like tide, and the moonlight is like silver.

Spring is like a strong young man with iron arms, waist and legs, leading us forward.

Just after the vernal equinox, Qingming is coming. "At sunrise, the river is redder than fire, and in spring, the river is as green as blue." This is the spring of revolution, the spring of people and the spring of science! Let's open our arms and embrace this spring warmly!

Example (1) is a metaphor of the same kind. Example (2) is the use of metaphors and analogies of different figures of speech. Example 3 is a combination of dual, quotation, parallelism, analogy and other different figures of speech.

(2) Use both.

Refers to the use of more than two figures of speech, that is, several figures of speech are organically intertwined. For example:

The key to catching up is time, time is life, time is speed, and time is power.

At the moment, in all directions, electric lights are bright, just like thousands of pearls flying into the sky.

Example 1 is a combination of parallelism and repetition. Example 2 is both metaphor and analogy.

(3) Application

Big words contain small figures of speech, that is, words contain figures of speech. For example:

(1) Wuling winds through the thin waves, and Wumeng takes the mud pill.

(2) You see, the strong wind tightly rolled up layers of huge waves and threw them mercilessly at the steep cliffs, smashing these large jadeites into dust and foam.

The whole sentence is dual, and the upper and lower sentences are both metaphors and exaggerated at the same time. The whole sentence is an analogy, and "Dayu" is a metaphor, an analogy and an application of metaphor.
