Confucius stood on the top of the mountain (without saying a word)

Mystery: Confucius stood on the top of the mountain (a word difference)

Answer: Yue

Analysis: Confucius is famous for hills, so the word "Confucius" in the riddle is associated with "hills" and "standing on the top of the mountain", which means putting "hills" on the top of the mountain and combining them into "Yue". Here is the forward deduction method.

The structure of lantern riddles consists of three basic elements, namely, riddle, riddle and riddle. These three parts are indispensable. "Mystery" is the condition for telling riddles and the basis for thinking riddles. This is like a "hypothesis" in geometry. "Mystery" is to limit the scope of what kind of "transaction" and answer, which is like "verification" in geometry. The answer is the answer. This is like a proven result in geometry.

There are many riddles of lantern riddles, which can be basically summarized as the following methods:

First, the forward deduction method

Positive deduction is also called positive knowledge method or positive guess method. This method is based on the positive meaning expressed by riddles, without copying the winding path, and directly comprehends and infers, thus associating the answer. For example, guessing the movie star "Nina Li Chi" with "the benefits of guessing" is a positive analysis, which is interpreted as "guessing is conducive to enlightening wisdom" and linked to riddles. Guess the idiom "move another day" means to change the location directly.

Second, the anti-buckle method

If the straight buckle method doesn't work, you should change the buckle method and don't get stuck in a single buckle method, otherwise you will never find the answer. Reverse deduction is also called reverse deduction, which is just the opposite of forward deduction. It is based on the hints of riddles, reasoning from the opposite side and seeking answers. For example, guess the proverb "I don't understand" with argot, and guess the idiom "I can't make inferior goods" with "I must make excellent products". Although the statement is contrary, the original intention is the same.

Third, the side buckle method

This method is not to understand from the front, nor to guess from the back, but to start from the side or protrude from the middle. For example, we can guess the food "lunch meat" by "fasting in the morning and evening", which means fasting in the morning and evening, so lunch is meat. Let's guess the idiom "Enjoy" by "both advance and retreat", which means to solve the problem of both advance and retreat, and then "enjoy" is caught in the middle.

Fourth, other solutions.

It is to change the original intention and make another explanation by using the characteristics of polysemy of Chinese characters. The technique of making riddles interesting has always been promoted as authentic riddles. For example, my book guesses the idiom "there is a lot to watch" with "adult movies". The original text is interpreted as "there is a lot of content or hope", but here it is not interpreted as "only adults have the opportunity to watch", which is a mystery.

Others use riddles to interpret, such as "dishonesty" to guess the plant "longevity fruit". The word "real" in the riddle is not interpreted as "sincerity", but as "fruit", and then "longevity" is deducted from "longevity" to form the riddle "longevity fruit"

Fifth, the method of adding words

It is to add radicals and radicals of certain words to an answer or riddle to form another word or word. For example, Geng guessed that the idiom "convenient for people" is to add the word "Geng" to the side of "people" to become the word "edge", and the answer is "uneasy" and "embarrassed", which means that the word "love" can only become the word "love" when it is put together with a word "heart". The beauty of this riddle is that

Six, the word loss method

Is to remove some strokes from the words in the riddle to get the answer. For example, in the ancient riddle "The spring rain is continuous, and the wife is left alone", it is guessed that the word "one" means "spring" when it rains, and the word "husband" is not in spring, so "day" and "husband" become "one". Guess the simplified word "cluster" with "no one is behind" and the first three words of the riddle.

Seven, the method of increasing losses

It is the same riddle, which combines the two methods of "adding words" and "losing words" mentioned above. For example, guess the word "rest" with "physical disability", deduct the word "self" with "physical disability", deduct the word "heart" with "mental disability" and deduct the word "rest" with the answer. It is interesting to guess the word "pan" by weeding and watering vegetable fields, which means that the word "vegetable" is removed from the grass first, and the word "field" is combined into the word "fan", and then the word "pan" is watered.

Eight, the combination method

Is to directly combine the words of the crossword puzzle or related strokes. For example, guessing the word "miscellaneous" from "eight nine is close to ten" means adding the three words "eight, nine and ten" together to form the word "miscellaneous". To guess the word "country" with "bigger heart" is to complement "bigger heart"

Nine, separation method

Contrary to the law, the words on the riddle are crossed, folded and divided into several parts, which is the answer. For example, guessing the common phrase "eighty-nine is close to ten" with the word "miscellaneous" and guessing the idiom "standing at thirty" with the word "letter" is a good mystery.

X. separation method

This method is to combine the above two methods, that is, to separate the characters in the puzzle and then combine them. This method is similar to the loss increasing method. For example, the word "Lin" was guessed after the Chinese parasol tree was half dead and first frost, which means that two characters "wood" were taken from the Chinese parasol tree to form the word "Lin". After first frost, half of the word "rain" was left and then combined into the word "forest". Guess the word "Dan" with "late spring and early summer", deduct the word "day" with "late spring", deduct the word "one" with early summer, and then combine it into the word "Dan"

XI。 Staggered method

It is to adjust the structure and rearrange the words on the puzzle to form another word. For example, guessing the word "scenery" and "emotion" with "scene blending" means exchanging the parts of "emotion" and "scenery" in half to get the answer.

Twelve. Displacement method

By moving the part of the word, the bottom is locked. For example, guessing the idiom "dizzy" means that hui is formed because of the dizzy direction. Obviously, guessing the word "Li" with the rising sun moved the word "Xu" to the top.

Thirteen. Offset method

It is to eliminate some words according to the meaning of the riddle and let the remaining words promote the bottom buckle. For example, the puzzle "waste" and "non-waste" cancel each other, leaving only one word "product", and then the word "product" and "fork" are locked together. This is a mutually exclusive riddle.

Now I will introduce an old riddle with a balanced answer for everyone to enjoy. The ancients used antithesis to guess that the Analects of Confucius was "Jin people have Feng wives". The answer is "Ye Gong asked Confucius Lutz, and Lutz got the wrong answer." The beauty of it is that the puzzle is correct, and only the word "Ye Gong asked Confucius" can be found. Adding the word "Luz" is reasonable and cannot be paired. Fortunately, the second sentence "Lutz is not right" cancels the word "Lutz" in the first sentence, which conforms to this difficult problem. Really love is like oxygen. This is a wonderful mystery.

Fourteen Inclusion method

Is to find out the strokes or radicals contained in the riddle text as the answer. For example, "advocate late marriage, everyone has a share." Guess the word "day" refers to the word "advocating late marriage" in the first sentence of the riddle, and everyone has a copy of the word "day" For example, the popular riddle: "There is no heaven on earth, no husband on wife, no dog on horse." Every sentence contains a word with the same meaning, that is, the word "person".

Fifteen, word leakage method

It is to choose regular phrases, idioms or common words, and deliberately leave out one or two words, so that the answer consists of the missing words and appropriate negative words. For example, use the "gold, silver, copper and iron" in hardware to guess the place name "Wuxi" in China. Guess the idiom "green and yellow don't connect" with "red, orange, green, blue and purple" in seven colors. Even some people use "23456789" to guess that "lack of clothes and food (1) and food (10)" belong to this kind of missing word method.

Sixteen, transportation coding method

Is to use well-known allusions. When guessing, we must first understand the content or source of allusions, and then we can easily find the answer. For example, guess the insurance term "beneficiary" with "fighting between snipes and mussels". In the original work, the snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman gains. The fisherman is a human being, so he guessed "beneficiary". Then guess the idiom "can't extricate oneself" by "encouraging seedlings", which is also an idiom allusion. Historical allusions, such as "beheading Cai Yang", are often used to guess the name of Liang Shanbo, and the answer is "Guan Sheng, Zhang Qing", which is based on Gu Chenghui's allusions in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, saying that Guan Yu beheaded Cai Yang, which made Zhang Fei awake and his brothers reconciled.

Seventeen, question and answer method

Questions are riddles and answers are answers, but they must be misinterpreted as riddles. For example, "What should I do?" Guess the sports term "women's group". This riddle first explains the riddle as how to be "good". The answer must consist of two words: "female" and "child". Use "right?" Guess a thousand poems, and the answer is "Where is the restaurant?" Originally, the word "ba" in the riddle should be interpreted as the Chinese translation of "bar", and the question mark of "restaurant" is "excuse me, where is it?" It's quite interesting.

Eighteen, overlapping word method

The riddle is composed of overlapping words, and the answer is cut by combining calculation methods, such as guessing the ancient "land tour" by "swimming and swimming". There are six words "swim" in the riddle, which means "swim". Guess the word "miscellaneous" with "dense forest" and guess the word "resentment" with "conformity", which belongs to the overlapping method.

Nineteen. exclusive method

Is to eliminate the mystery that is easy to guess, and clearly point out that we should guess other mysteries. For example: "A tree planted in the mouth is not sleepy or bored". If you guess a word, the answer should exclude "sleepy" and "dull", so guess the word "bundle". Guess the word "move" with "more trees and one stroke, no guessing grain"

Twenty, pictographic method

Take Chinese characters as hieroglyphics, and compare their strokes, structures, parts or all of them with the shape of an object. For example, people are shaped like flying geese, insects are shaped like solitary sails, and they are shaped like stars, pills, melon seeds, tears and so on. For example, Qi Fei the Wild Goose guessed "Cong" and "Three Stars Accompanying the Moon" guessed "Heart".
