《以花喻人之妙》
诗中以花喻人,妙趣横生。先是“人如桃花粉映红”,将佳人面色与桃花相联,那粉嫩娇颜被日头映照,透着鲜活娇艳,仿佛春日桃花绽于枝头,娇美动人。“红面桃花似芙蓉”进一步升华,红润面庞如芙蓉般,既清新脱俗又艳丽非凡,凸显出众姿容。而“面色梨花白带粉”,以梨花的粉白形容,营造出纯净娇羞之感,且从粉白面色能映出开怀,侧面展现愉悦心情。
改写后的诗句同样精彩,“佳人面色若桃花”直白点出相似,“粉嫩娇颜映日红”描绘具体画面。“红颊恰似芙蓉艳”强化艳丽感,“玉面又如梨蕊绽”突出纯净。最后“此般模样真堪画,悦色开怀意趣浓”,总结出佳人模样如画,好心情满溢,读来令人不禁遐想那花般娇美的女子面容。
