"There are seven or eight stars in the sky, and it rains two or three times in front of the mountain" comes from the Song Dynasty poet Xin Qiji's Huangsha Road Night on the Xijiang Moon. The whole word is: "The bright moon surprises the magpie, and the breeze crows at midnight. The cool evening breeze seems to have spread to cicadas in the distance. In the fragrance of rice and flowers, people talk about the harvest of a year, and frogs croak in their ears, as if in a bumper harvest year. In the old days, Maodian was near the forest, and the road turned to Xiqiao. " Described a quiet and natural summer night.

"There are seven or eight stars in the sky, and it rains two or three times in front of the mountain" is a shrinking exaggeration in exaggerated rhetoric. It is said that there are as few as seven or eight stars and only two or three raindrops. Exaggerated writing that "stars" are sparse stars and "rain" is a slight shower creates a quiet and peaceful night, expressing the author's feeling of being relegated to loneliness.

Extended data:

First, the background of "Huangsha Road Xijiang Moon Walking at Night":

1. This is a sentence written by Xin Qiji when he passed Huangshaling Road in Shangrao, Jiangxi. Xin Qiji was an official in the Southern Song Dynasty, but his bold and open-minded remarks and decisive and capable style, especially his political proposition of resuming the war of resistance, were envied by his colleagues and hit by the highest ruling class.

2. Song Xiaozong Xichun eight years (1 18 1), Xin Qiji was dismissed as a traitor and returned to his hometown in Daihu, Shangrao, where he lived for nearly fifteen years and lived in seclusion. During this period, although he also had a short official experience, most of him lived in Shangrao and left many poems. This word is one of them.

Second, the classification of exaggeration:

1. Exaggerated exaggeration: an exaggerated form that deliberately makes objective things "big, numerous, high, strong and deep ...". For example, it is difficult to get through the Shu Road and get into the sky.

2. Shrinking exaggeration: deliberately making objective things "small, small, low, weak, shallow, ...". For example, a man dressed in black stood in front of the old bolt with eyes like two knives, and the old bolt was cut in half. Existing idioms, such as fighting for every inch of land, dripping water and walking with difficulty, all have the same expression effect.

3. Exaggeration in advance: an exaggerated form in which things that appear later are one step ahead of time. For example, farmers all say, "When you see such bright green wheat seedlings, you can smell the smell of white bread." Another example is the sorrow in Song Fan Zhongyan's "A Trip to Imperial Street", which is broken and drunk for no reason. Tears have the same meaning before the wine arrives.
