The music description techniques of Pipa Xing are as follows:

There are two main methods of describing music in the poem "Pipa Xing".

The first method is to use onomatopoeia

"The big strings are noisy like the rain, and the small strings are like whispers. The noises are all mixed up, and the big and small beads are falling. The orioles are whispering at the bottom of the flower, and the ice spring is so cold that it cannot pass through the sound. There is no sound at this time, and the sound of the silver bottle is broken. The cavalry burst out with swords and guns. At the end of the song, the four strings sounded like cracking silk. "Of course we didn't hear the sound of the pipa playing at that time, but we heard the sound of the heavy rain hitting the windows. Heard the whispers. After reading such poems, it will evoke an association of life.

Use people’s life experiences to make up for and enrich the sound of music. This is onomatopoeia.

The second method is side contrast.

Positive descriptions are often limited, while side foils are often unlimited.

One of the Yuefu poems of the Han Dynasty is called "Mo Shang Sang", which describes Qin Luofu's beauty, saying that she "had a Japanese bun on her head, and bright moon beads in her ears. The lower skirt was made of silk. Ziqi is the top coat. The walker sees Luofu and carries his mustache. The young man takes off his hat and bows. The plower forgets his plow and the hoeer comes back and is angry with each other." .

The poet is clever in not directly describing the appearance of the characters, such as the curved eyebrows of willow leaves, but like willow leaves; the eyes are like twin stars, but like stars; the small mouth of a cherry, the pink face and peach cheeks, Red lips, white teeth...the beauty written like this is limited.

But put aside the forgetful expressions of these writers, young men, cultivators, and hoeers when they saw her: Passers-by saw Luofu so beautiful, stopped their burdens, and stroked their beards to admire; young people Seeing how beautiful Luo Fu was, he took off his hat and exposed his beautiful head to attract the other person's attention. The plowman forgets to plow the field, and the hoeer forgets to hoe it all because he is stupid.

The effect of writing about beauty in this way is infinite and astonishing. The readers can imagine how beautiful it is! It leaves a lot of room for imagination. A hundred people can imagine a hundred Luofu, which is amazing!
