The difference between synaesthesia and metaphor is that synaesthesia, that is, the transfer of feeling, is to communicate with each other by feeling, and to concretize and perceive the indescribable and unspeakable feelings. It is a psychological phenomenon caused by feeling, which transcends the limitations of this feeling and thus understands another feeling. The breeze blows, bringing fragrance repeatedly, as if it were a faint song in a distant building. (Zhu Ziqing's Moonlight on the Lotus Pond) Here, there are many faint and faint songs transplanted from the sense of smell to the sense of hearing, although the former is described from the perspective of smell and the latter is rubbed from the perspective of hearing. But the two are similar in many aspects, such as intermittent, if there is nothing, light and ethereal, refreshing and so on. Therefore, through association and imagination, the author uses the faint, quiet and elegant songs of distant tall buildings to express the presence or absence of lotus fragrance, which not only reveals the essential characteristics of things, but also creates a beautiful artistic conception. Another example: after singing for more than a dozen words, it gradually became higher and higher. Suddenly, a gyro was pulled out, like a steel wire thrown into the sky, like a flying snake coiled and inserted in the middle of the 36 peaks of Huangshan Mountain, and suddenly rose, like fireworks in the East, and a marble rose into the sky and scattered vertically and horizontally. (Liu E's Travels of Lao Can) communicates vision and hearing, showing Wang Xiaomo's superb skills. When using synaesthesia, we should pay attention to: we should grasp the connection between the two senses, so that the sensory organs can communicate, so that readers can be influenced by art and create new artistic images.
Metaphor is metaphor. That is to grasp the' similarities' between two different things and use one thing as a metaphor for another. The key of metaphor is that A and B must be essentially different things, and there must be similarities between A and B, otherwise it cannot be established. Its rhetorical effect is: easy to understand or vivid. That ship is like a big white fish, carrying a group of children in the waves. (Mr. Lu Xun's "Social Drama" clearly shows that the ship and the big white fish are similar in appearance and vivid. There is no need to hang photos. There is a huge painting outside the door called Nature. Li Lewei's My Castle in the Air is a metaphor. Painting is different from nature in essence, but there are similarities. )
As can be seen from the above examples, the main feature of metaphor is that there are similarities between ontology and vehicle, and its functions are to turn plain into vivid, abstruse into simple, abstract into concrete, and lengthy into concise; Synaesthesia is mainly in the transfer of sensory organs, relying on the existing aesthetic experience and using rich imagination, consciously shifting and transforming the accepted senses, thus creating a novel image with multiple sensibility. Please look at the following examples and pay attention to the comparison:
I know there is a deep barrier between us. Metaphor: The gap between us is like a thick barrier of sadness. )
Example 2: Outside the wet clouds in the morning bell, there is smoke in the stone pond of the resort. (Du Fu's Kuizhou is too wet to go ashore) Synaesthesia: Use the word "wet" to describe the bell. The bell you smell goes through rain and clouds, so touch and hearing communicate with each other.
Example 3: A rainy pond has a flat surface and a mirror on the eaves. (Liu Ban's "Pond after Rain" metaphor: the pond is like a mirror.
Singing, like a star in the dark sky, gets brighter as you listen to it. (Cang Kejia's Spring Birds) Synaesthesia: Stars are vision, songs are hearing, and they communicate with each other when they hear the brilliance.
The leaves are high out of the water, like an elegant dancer's skirt. (Zhu Ziqing's Moonlight on the Lotus Pond) Metaphor:
Leaves are like skirts.
Exodus 6: Apart from the brilliance, there is a faint sweet dream hanging over me. (Wisteria Falls) Synaesthesia: Dream belongs to inner feelings and psychological feelings. The faint fragrance (smell) is similar to the dreamy and misty light spirit, which communicates with each other.
Exodus 7: This thick green is really lovely. She wrinkled loosely, like a young woman's skirt. (Zhu Ziqing's "Green") Metaphor: It is paved and piled up thickly, just like a skirt dragged by a young woman.
Example 8: Just one punch, the sun is in front of us, but it seems to have made a whole water and land Dojo: Qing Er, Bo 'er and Guan 'er all ring together. (Kansai, Lutaiquan Town) Synaesthesia: Clever use of auditory organs to convey physical pain.
Ex 9: I don't know who cut off the thin leaves, but the spring breeze in February is like scissors. (He Zhangzhi's "Singing Willow") Metaphor: Cutting thin leaves with scissors is a magical imagination! Spring breeze is like a pair of scissors, cutting such lovely willow leaves!
Example attending: 36,000 pores, like eating the fruit of life, no pore is not carefree. Liu E (Ming Huju listens to books) Synaesthesia: Hearing moves to non-auditory taste organs.
Example ⑾: It's sunny in the snow, the horse is grazing in the lake field, and the flute is guarding the building in the moonlight. Excuse me, where did the plum blossom fall? The wind blew all night! (Note: ① Plum blossom, here refers to the tune of plum blossom falling. (Gao Shi's Listening to the Flute on the Fortress) Synaesthesia: The poet expresses the characteristics of auditory beauty as the characteristics of visual beauty associated with it, and transforms the flute of auditory image into plum blossom of visual image. The visual beauty of plum blossom comes from the auditory beauty of plum blossom-like flute. In front of readers, it seems that the beautiful scenery of the moonlit night blows away the plum blossoms with the flute, which makes people feel the image beauty created by the works more deeply.
The tide of my thoughts and feelings is flowing freely. Who is the cutest person? ) metaphor: ontology is my thoughts and feelings, metaphor is the trend.
Example [13]: Just after the drizzle stopped, the rain wet the bells of the cemetery (Li Ying's Visit to thomas mann's Tomb). Synaesthesia: When the bell gets wet, it produces tactile feeling, auditory and tactile communication from the hearing object.
Example [14]: Singing is like a lake of music (the song of Xiaoxue). Synaesthesia: the communication between hearing (singing) and vision (lake).
Example (13): blue sailor, your voice is pure blue, and your cry has many small serrations. What are you going to cut off and take away? Take a deep breath and breathe in so much transparent air. Do you want to dilute the salty blue sea breeze? (Li Gang in the Blue Sailor) Synaesthesia: Communicate hearing, vision, taste and touch, and turn the invisible sea breeze into a blue and salty multi-emotional image.
