The Relationship between the Rhetoric of Chinese Characters and Their Pictographs

Cao Shi

Abstract

All the rhetoric of Chinese characters has something to do with the use of pictographs, but each rhetorical figure does in different ways. Meanwhile, rhetorical figures show complicated relation with the meaning of characters some don't employ the meaning of characters; some convey rhetorical information related to it; others not only contain the rhetorical information related to it but express the basic linguistic in-formation originating in it as well.
