A Study On The Metaphorical Meaning Of Words And Phrases In "Three Kingdoms"

The meaning of Chinese is always changing,disappearing or increasing over time.Historically,the increase in word meaning is a general trend.The increase of Chinese meaning is closely related to rhetoric.The use of metaphor is an important reason for the increase of meaning.Metaphor is a common way of changing meanings.Once the metaphor of words is fixed and recognized by society,it will form a new meaning.The emergence of new meanings has caused two phenomena in the field of vocabulary.One is to create a corresponding new word,which is a metaphorical word.Such words are often composed of two or more morphemes,and the morpheme combination has a superficial meaning,but its deep metaphor is the root cause of the word.Metaphorical meaning is the only meaning or the original meaning of this word.Therefore,leaving the metaphorical meaning,this word will not exist.This phenomenon causes an increase in the number of words.The other is to produce a new meaning,the so-called metaphorical meaning.This phenomenon generally occurs within a polysemous word,and a certain meaning of the word produces a new metaphorical meaning through the metaphorical method.This caused an increase in the number of words,but did not cause an increase in the number of words.The Chinese vocabulary in the Middle Ages not only inherits the styles of the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties,but also has unique characteristics of the times.As an important linguistic material reflecting the general situation of Chinese vocabulary in the Middle Ages,SanGuoZhi is rich in vocabulary.According to statistics,the number of words with metaphorical meaning reaches 325.The book contains vivid descriptions of the world situation,the scene of the war,the dialogue between the monarch and the minister,various characters and letters,and so on,which makes the metaphor of the language environment produced and used.There are many ways in which metaphorical meaning can be divided into three categories: nature,social production activities,and the human body itself.It can be divided into many subcategories.The sign that the metaphor of the word is finally stabilized is that it can be reused from a specific context,appearing in other different contexts,and the meaning does not change.But this has to go through a long period of time.During this period,there is often an unstable form of writing.A metaphorical content has multiple forms of word writing,and some are still in the stage of transition from sentence to word.These also indicate that the Chinese vocabulary in the period of the Three Kingdoms is in a perfect transitional stage.
