A Study On The Meaning Of Mountains In Ancient Chinese Literature

This paper analyzes the mountain image in ancient Chinese literature from different angles,summarizes and classifies the meaning of mountain in figurative image,and discusses its background and development.This paper explains the expression mode and function of mountain metaphor in various literary works,so that the aesthetic and literary value of mountain metaphor can be shown in a more concrete form.The main body of this paper is divided into four parts.The introduction explains several elements related to figurative image,the logical relationship among figurative image,noumenon and similarity,as well as the research value and research status of mountain metaphor.The first chapter of the paper discusses the background and development of mountain metaphor,and finds that the generation of mountain metaphor is closely related to the witchcraft sacrifice of the ancestors and the creation techniques of Bi and Xing in the Book of Songs.Later,the "Bi De" theory of Confucianism promoted the popularization and application of mountain metaphor in literary works,and finally matured in the Tang Dynasty.The second chapter focuses on the analysis of the carrier of mountain figurative meaning,that is,the "image" used to represent various noumenon in the figurative image.The image and meaning are inseparable from each other,and the study of the "image" of mountain is actually a discussion of mountain figurative meaning from another Angle,and also explains why the writers choose mountain to carry these figurative meaning in the process of creation.In the third section,it summarizes the effect and influence of mountain metaphor on mountain image and explains the relationship between them.The third chapter is the classification of mountain metaphor on the basis of the appendix chart,which is mainly divided into three categories: "appearance and vision category","ability,virtue,spirit and charm category" and "emotion and thought category".The reasons for such classification are discussed,and some typical application forms of metaphor are listed.Through the discussion of these four parts,the mountain metaphor has a relatively complete and systematic summary,which is not only independent of the mountain image,but also a supplementary explanation of the mountain image from another research Angle.
