Weighing fortune telling

What is a homophonic allegorical saying?

Homophonic xiehouyu is to add homophonic elements to the former type. For example:

Fill your nostrils with rice soup.-that's enough.

Fried shrimp-red man (ren)

Chicken feather-courage (dust removal)

Make a retort pouch from the skin of winter melon-indisputable (steamed)

Fried shrimp with bean sprouts (shrimp)-two values (straight)

Nephew plays lanterns-as usual (uncle)

Confucius was moved-all lost (book)

Burning flagpole-sigh (charcoal)

Shut the knife in the cesspit-neither can Wen (smell) nor Wu (cover).

There is also a logical reasoning, and the explanation part is the result of reasoning from the previous metaphor part. For example:

Narcissus doesn't bloom-play dumb.

Dumb people eat coptis chinensis-they can't tell you what's bitter.

All rivers run into the sea-the general trend

Tokage lift the curtain-show some hands.

The origin of xiehouyu

The name "Xiehouyu" first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. The so-called "Wu Hou of Zheng" (a kind of "Hou Hou" poem) has been mentioned in the biography of the old Tang Dynasty. However, as a language form and phenomenon, it appeared as early as the pre-Qin period.

For example, "The Warring States Policy Chu Ce IV": "It's not too late to mend." In other words, it is not too late to repair the sheepfold after the sheep is lost. This is the two-part allegorical saying we saw today.

Cihai: Two-part allegorical saying is an idiom. Humorous and vivid sentences, which are familiar to the masses, can be used to hide the following words and indicate them in the previous words, such as just saying "playing chess on the chessboard" to show that it is not the right way; It can also be juxtaposed before and after, such as "Sesame Blossoms Are Rising".
