浅析汉语佛源熟语的辞格运用

Abstract

Buddhist idioms have had a certain influence on the Chinese rhetoric with their obscure expressions and witty rhetorical effects. From the perspective of rhetoric, this article analyzes the rhetorical characteristics of Buddhist idioms. The introduction first explains the conceptual category and classification of Buddhism idioms, sorts out the current research on Buddhism rhetoric, and briefly explains the reason and research value of the topic. Chapter two distinguishes the definitions and categories of rhetoric and figure of rhetoric. Figure of rhetoric is only a small branch of rhetoric and cannot be equated to rhetoric. Figure of rhetoric is an indispensable and important part of rhetoric. The third chapter sorts out and analyzes examples of common figures of rhetoric in the three types of Buddhist idioms: metaphor, metonymy, and antithesis. Idioms are intended to enlighten people to think about the philosophy of life in plain and understandable language. Therefore, metaphors and metonymy are widely used in Buddhist idioms. At the same time, as one of the rhetorical figures that can best embody the Chinese national thinking and the characteristics of Chinese rhetoric, antithesis has also been widely used. The fourth chapter analyzes and summarizes the characteristics of both content and form of the use of figures of rhetoric. The repeated use of "sand", "sea", "lotus" and "root" and other Buddhist images makes the content of Buddhism idioms have their own metaphorical group; in order to achieve multiple rhetorical effects in form, Buddhist idioms show the characteristics of the comprehensive use of multiple figures of rhetoric.
