I. CRUCIAL KNOWLEDGE TO REMEMBER
A proverb is a fixed phrase that expresses a complete meaning.
Example: Up the waterfall, down the cliff, Heavy rain and strong wind.
The meaning of proverbs can originate directly from the literal meaning of the words composing it but often through figurative devices such as metaphor, simile, etc.
Example: - Greed fears death, Mud puddles and stagnant water.
- Cunning heart, Buddha's mouth, Fast as lightning.
Proverbs can serve as subjects, predicates in sentences, or modifiers in noun phrases, verb phrases, etc.
Example: - This person is as healthy as a horse (predicate)
- Words express the culture of human beings (subject) .
- When turning off the lights (modifier in a noun phrase)
- The waves carry the mountains and seas (modifier in a verb phrase)
Proverbs are concise, profound, metaphorical, and highly expressive.
Example: - Seven float, three sink in the poetry of Ho Xuan Huong.
- Turn off the lights in the prose of To Hoai
