Metaphor and Parable——An Exploration on the Exponents in the Pre-Qin Dynasty

中国古代文化是一种隐喻文化,这一点在先秦诸子著作中表现尤为明显。其最为常见的表现形式就是大量而又广泛地运用“寓言”,无论是作为文学体裁的“寓言”还是作为语言形式的“寓言”,都与隐喻具有不可分割的内在联系。大量先秦诸子“寓言”都充分证明了这一点。

Chinese ancient culture is a kind of metaphorical culture, and this is outstanding in the Exponents＇ Essays in the Pre-Qin Dynasty. No matter what they are, fables as types of literature or allegories as forms of language, they have an inherent relation with metaphor, and it is proved by a large number of parables in the Pre-Qin Dynasty.
