What do you think of metonymy?

There must be two kinds, and it can be judged whether they are related. Then we can see whether one thing can replace another after minor changes, and if so, it is metonymy.

If you feel trouble, please ignore it below.

Metonymy, as its name implies, is to borrow one thing to replace another, so most of them are nouns. When using it, we must consider the legitimacy and universality of substitution, and try not to simplify the complex and make the meaning smooth.

Proper use of metonymy can arouse people's association, make the sentence image prominent, distinctive, concise and vivid. The rhetorical effect of metonymy can be summarized in sixteen words: replacing complexity with simplicity, replacing emptiness with reality, replacing vulgarity with strangeness, and replacing affection with things.

For example, those who carve their names on stones, their names rot earlier than the bodies. The "stone" in the example 1 (Cang Kejia's Some People) is usually used as a monument material. The replacement of monuments with "stones" here implicitly reveals that the dreams of reactionary rulers who are enemies of the people who want to be famous will eventually be shattered.

If the green hills on both sides of the strait are opposite, the lonely sails come from the sun. (Looking at Tianmen Mountain from afar)

Replace the ship with a part of the "sail" of the ship; For example, fog will rest at dawn, and apes and birds will sing wildly; Night is coming and the scales are sinking. ("Thank you for writing the book")

Replace fish with fish scales.

Feature generation ontology

For example, Yamaraja was beheaded with a hundred thousand flags. (meiling three chapters)

It is a symbol rather than an ontology, and a "symbol" is used to replace the army or armed forces.

For example: white-collar workers

Use the dress characteristics of professionals to refer to themselves.

Specific generation abstraction, such as: 1 The "beacon smoke" in the case of (meiling three chapters) 1 was originally a firework used to warn the police on the ancient border. Here it refers to war, which concretizes and visualizes the abstract concept of war. Tools replace ontologies, such as 1. In the season of scaring farming, eight out of ten households have set fire to their hoard and can't open the pot. The word "hoarding" in the example 1 is a tool for holding grain, and "lighting the bottom of hoarding" means that there is a shortage of grain; A "pot" is a tool for cooking. If you can't open the pot, you have no food. Proper name generation generally refers to replacing the name of ontology with the special name of a typical person or thing. For example: 1. If you kill a Li Gongpu, millions of people in Li Gongpu will stand up! (Final Speech) The second "Li Gongpu" in Example 1 refers to a person who is not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifices, but fights for democracy and peace. Replace the cause with the result, for example, laughing is the cause of laughing, and laughing is the occurrence of jokes or funny things. Replacing "jokes" with the result of "laughter" makes people laugh. For example, there are two grandfathers sitting on it, one in the east is a jacket and the other in the west is a suit.
