古今汉语中的水隐喻研究
中国西南大学, 外国语学院, 重庆 400715
| 摘 要： | 水是生命之源，常常与流动、清澈、柔软等特性联系在一起。水是人类生活中最重要的资源之一，在中国文化中被称为五行之一。水隐喻是一种修辞手法，用水来比喻和描述人、事物或情感。水隐喻可以通过对水的特性和形态的描述，将抽象的概念转化为具体而生动的形象，使文案更加生动、形象化，增强读者的感受和共鸣。本文目前的研究旨在考察中国古代和现代语言中的水隐喻，这些隐喻在隐喻研究领域很少被触及。我主要研究问题是中国人使用水的概念如何理解和体验其他概念。在本文中，我提出了9种水的隐喻：力量是水，人是水，情感是水，时间是水，金钱是水，运动是水，美德是水，思想是水，音乐是水。最后，提出对五行（如木、火、土、金、水）理论的理解对于理解中国文化中的这些水隐喻至关重要。 |

Water Metaphors in Ancient and Modern CHINESE
College of International Studies, Southwest University, Chongqing 400715, China
| Abstract: | Water is one of the most important resources in human life, and is known to one of the Five Elements, namely, Wu Xing, in Chinese culture. The current study reported in this paper aims to examine water metaphors in ancient and modern Chinese language, which have been rarely touched on so far in the field of metaphor studies. The main research question is how Chinese people understand and experience other concepts in terms of water. In this paper, I present 9 kinds of water metaphors: POWER IS WATER, HUMAN IS WATER, EMOTION IS WATER, TIME IS WATER, MONEY IS WATER, MOVEMENT IS WATER, VIRTUE IS WATER, THOUGHT IS WATER, and MUSIC IS WATER. Finally, it is proposed that the understanding of Wu Xing (e.g., Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) theory is essential to understand these water metaphors in Chinese culture. |
| Keywords: | Water; Conceptual Metaphor Theory; Chinese Language; Wu Xing; Chinese Culture |
