Abstract

The allusion is divided into trope[比] and treating precedent[用事] in Jiaoran’s Statutes of Poetry[詩式]. In this study we found that the allusion would be a trope when there is a corresponding relationship between the allusion and the poetic self, and it would be a treating precedent when there is only an allusion enumerated in a poetry. The allusion as a trope is classified into metaphor and metonymy. The conceptual metaphor “One’s behavior is a behavior of the great names in the past.” and the conceptual metonymy “A person replaces the group he belongs to.”, “The music player replaces his instrument.” are used as tropes in the poetry. Findings in this study are expected to be the key standard for understanding the classification of poetry in Statutes of Poetry.
