Following the long ** "Fog Curse", recently, the writer Yiye also launched a blockbuster new work "Black Clouds" (Qingdao Publishing House).

Yiyi also has a polar experience that many people have never had, and writing about the polar regions is a major feature of his writing. Both "The Fog Curse" and "Black Clouds" are works about life in the Arctic, with the difference that the main characters in "The Fog Curse" are people, while the main characters in "Black Clouds" are animals. Compared to the realism of "The Fog Curse", the high degree of anthropomorphism in "Black Clouds" is refreshing, and I prefer to call it a metaphor**.

Black Cloud is a white bear with black fur on its forehead, and because of its strange appearance, it was adopted by a "two-legged man" and was rejected by the bears. But it is a wise bear, and it has learned from the old fox Anglou as he roams the polar regions, and has made friends with the weaker of the white bears, as well as seabirds, snow foxes, snow hares, and lemmings, and has learned that it is not only by fangs and claws that can survive in the natural world. He once defeated the bullying bear king with his wits in a life-and-death struggle, and also worked together with foxes, rabbits, rats, and birds to save a young female bear who fell into a deep hole and win love. By chance, it found that the benefactor who rescued him and his scientific expedition team were trapped on a desert island, and his life hung by a thread, so it appeared on the land shore to transmit information. The team members in distress are rescued, but Black Cloud is shot ...... by a drunken hunter

The use of metaphor is not simply using analogies of similar things, but on the basis of metaphors, enriching the layers and depths of expression through implied meanings and symbolism. Through metaphors, writers can transform abstract concepts into concrete images, portray the protagonist, depict the scenery, and convey emotions in a vivid and rich way, making the work more creative and appealing. "Black Clouds" seems legendary and weird, but the content is the best expression of metaphor. What are black clouds?What is Cantuman the Grand Male Bear?What is the ?...... the old fox AngeloThe final epilogue "Why are you called Black Cloud?".It is a metaphor for the mixing and blending of human nature and animal nature, as well as the questioning and questioning of the relationship between humans and animals, nature and the earth. When readers taste this work, they feel as if they are in a world that is both real and unreal, and they feel the shock and resonance of their hearts. You don't know what these animals are metaphorically attributed to, but you can easily find them in real life, in everyone and everything, and even in an era, for example, kindness, benevolence, cruelty, betrayal, arbitrariness, tolerance, generosity, etc. Through the literary form of metaphor, Black Clouds is not only a criticism, compensation and reflection on the relationship between man and nature, but also allows readers to think more deeply about the animal world.

In the vast ocean of literature, metaphor is like a ship full of wisdom, passing through the rolling river of history. It carries human emotions and thoughts, and depicts abstract concepts into vivid pictures in an allegorical way. Metaphor is both an ancient figure of speech and an ancient craft. Yi is like an ancient craftsman, who used words as materials and hearts as molds to carefully carve out the magnificent work of "Black Clouds".
