Riddle classification
We often find that few people confuse riddles with riddles. In fact, we tell riddles in different ways, which are divided into two categories, called things riddles. We often say riddles. The other is called literary riddle, and we often say lantern riddle.
The mystery of things
Also known as folk riddles and children's riddles, except for a few crossword puzzles, most of the answers are common in our lives. Animals, plants, various utensils, objects, human organs, their own phenomena and cosmic celestial bodies are used to compare things ... catchy folk songs or short poems are often used:

(2) Word riddles
Literal riddles, also called riddles, express any meaning The riddles in writing are quite extensive, including single words, various words, phrases, short sentences and so on.
Please look at the riddle below:
The answer of the cultivator (writer's name): Tian Han
Anxious to return's answer: thinker.
The answer is: Fushun.
High-speed killing (playing music nouns) answer: Allegro.
Finger electrocution (typing) Answer: Mo.
The answer to the campaign to kill rats (in military terms): the war of attrition.
Looking at the treasure island of the motherland (playing sports facilities): in the stands
(3) The difference between the riddle of things (folk riddle) and the riddle of words (lantern riddle)
Mysteries of things and meanings are riddles. Their basic structure is the same as that of places, and they all have riddles, riddles and answers.
Look at the folk riddle first:
Mystery: seven-story mattress, eight-story mattress covered with black children, red children come to call the door and kick the mattress. Mystery: playing entertainment products, the answer: firecrackers.
Look at this riddle again:
Riddle: Leave a riddle: Play idioms to solve puzzles: Correct it.
What are the similarities between the two? Let's make it clear from several aspects.
1 riddles and answers are the same.
Except for a few crossword puzzles, most folk riddles are based on the external characteristics of things. The riddle grasps the outstanding features of the things to be guessed from the aspects of appearance, shape, nature, color, sound, origin and use, and describes them in a roundabout way through personification, metaphor, exaggeration and suggestion, so that people can guess the answer according to the clues provided by the riddle through association, reasoning and judgment.
Lantern riddles combine riddles with riddles literally. Also known as literary riddles, Hu Wen riddles and Deng Hu riddles. Solve riddles on the lanterns is a unique Chinese word game, which is dominated by solve riddles on the lanterns. The making of riddles is to make use of the characteristics of Chinese characters, such as polysemy, disyllabic, stroke combination and pictographic description, and to make riddles by means of understanding, borrowing, transporting dictionaries and disassembling characters.
The mysterious swallow
Folk riddle riddle: a young lady came in at dark, and the weather made spring thunder fly under the eaves of her former residence.
Riddle: Beijing zero hour
Comparing the two riddles, the folk riddle vividly depicts the characteristics of the swallow's color (black) and life habits (under the eaves in spring), while the riddle simply ignores the characteristics of the swallow itself and only tries to buckle the word swallow. Beijing is also called Yanjing, and the word "swallow" is deducted at zero hours. The ancient time service method is very different.
Let's look at the riddle garlic in Example 2.
Folk riddle: seven or eight brothers sat around the pillar, everyone broke up and their clothes were torn.
Riddle: Grass grows on the head of the second child and the second child.
The former captures the characteristics of garlic, vividly comparing garlic cloves to brothers and garlic skins to clothes. As for the spelling of garlic, don't even think about it. Let's look at the riddle. Those who put aside the characteristics of garlic and only focus on garlic fonts write in a small way, and then grow grass on their heads. Let's give two more examples and ask readers to analyze the differences themselves.
The first set of peanut puzzles:
Folk riddle riddle: There is a white fat man living in the red curtain of Majia.
Lantern riddle: the son of Mulan
The second set of corn puzzles:
Folk riddle: take off your clothes to see your hair, and open your hair to see your teeth.
Riddle: Precious Rice
(2) The answer range (riddle) is the same.
Except for a few crossword puzzles, the answers to folk riddles are mostly animals, plants, objects, utensils, human organs and self.
Phenomena, cosmic objects, etc.
Lantern riddles are puzzles with literal meaning, and any word that can be expressed in words can be answered, ranging from single words to poems, songs, idioms, proverbs, ancient and modern names, mbth, newspapers and magazines, western medicine, film and television dramas, and the names of various disciplines. Comparatively speaking, the scope of riddles is much wider than that of folk riddles. Strictly speaking, there are also differences in the writing of riddles. Swallow riddles are about playing with animals, while lantern riddles are about playing with animals.
(3) The puzzle forms are the same.
There are many riddles in folk riddles, which often rhyme. Their four-sentence form is more popular and vivid, catchy and suitable for oral recitation.
It's strange for dolls to wear more than 300 clothes. They take off their clothes and skins left over at the end of the year every day. Answer: Calendar.
In addition, the flowers in the small garden are only open to people. The rest stood aside (playing with toys) answer: kaleidoscope.
The riddle of the riddle is short, using ready-made poems, idioms, proverbs, allusions, names, places, movies, plays and other words.
Even use letters, numbers, pictures, chess manuals, symbols, etc. As a riddle:
Looking up, I found it was moonlight (typing foreign place names) answer: Yangon.
Interpretation (typing) Answer:
Talking about twists and turns (playing musical nouns) Answer: ballad.
Guide (idiom) Answer: Hold the disabled and keep thinking about them.
The rules for guessing riddles are the same.
Solve riddles on the lanterns and making riddles have strict rules. The same characters appear in riddles and riddles (called the bottom), and riddles and riddles are locked together.
Pay attention to propriety and preciseness, and allow unnecessary idle talk, but there are no rules in folk riddles, as long as riddles can be used as reference for answers. In addition, some riddles have puzzles, while folk riddles have no puzzles.
(5) Guess the same object.
Because folk riddles are easy to understand, most folk riddles are suitable for children to guess, and riddles involve a wide range of knowledge, so it is difficult to guess. Speculators are required to have a certain cultural literacy and adapt to adults with a certain cultural level. With the improvement of people's cultural level and the accumulation of life experience, riddles are gradually loved by young friends.
Tri-color riddle
In front of us, we introduced some riddles. Riddles are all expressed in words. In fact, some riddles have special forms of expression. We call it a colorful lantern riddle. Let me introduce it to you.
(1) Draw a riddle
Draw riddles and use pictures as riddles for people to guess riddles. Riddles mainly look at pictures. In thinking, we should remind everyone that it is better to guess riddles by looking at pictures than by people standing inside the painting door. Draw a tree on the left and a sheep on the right. All the above examples can be regarded as puzzles. Only graphic characters can be counted. The real question is mainly based on the usual statement and the common understanding of the other party, and other solutions are used to guess.
Please look at the following example:
Picture of the calendar idiom of Lu Xun's centenary birthday A: A centenary tree person
As we know, Lu Xun's original name was Zhou Shuren. He interpreted the name Shu Ren as planting, cultivating-cultivating talents, and guessed the answer-a century-old Shu Ren.
Look at the format again: children's height measurement pictures require guessing mathematical terms: solid geometry
From the picture, the children stand up straight and say why they want to measure the three-dimensional height. How many mathematical terms of solid geometry are analyzed in classical Chinese? How many meanings have the mathematical term geometry been interpreted?
Again: The picture shows a wooden sign beside the pond, which says "No shrimp fishing".
The meaning in the painting is to warn people to catch fish and shrimp carefully and ponder the idiom "guess" We often say that catching fish and shrimp is one of the important ways to solve the mystery.
In addition to guessing puzzles with other solutions, cognitive methods are often used.
Compared with the old woman who is sewing in the picture, she is struggling to thread a needle and draw idioms with a needle in her hand.
Answer: I can't wait to see it. It fits the puzzle perfectly.
The picture glass has a glass bottom, and the picture needs to be typed to solve the problem.
It fits perfectly to break the broken words into water shells. Separation phenomenon is used again in the figure. It is said that the inherent law of speculation can rigidly copy the main factors.
Mystery is easy to use flexibly, and only samples can improve our guessing level.
(2) alphabet puzzles, pinyin puzzles and foreign language puzzles
Letters like riddles are used as riddles. Pinyin riddles are spelled according to Chinese Pinyin, and foreign riddles are spelled in foreign languages.
Pinyin puzzles mainly focus on the changes of letter shapes (writing methods) and sounds (reading methods).
Guessing riddles should also start from two aspects:
AOP (idiom) Answer: Depend on life.
Simply interlock from the glyph, change the A word above into the A word below, and then write OP as a type.
Once again:
B (textile name) Answer: three in one (3 and 1)
AO (typing mathematical nouns) A: The set AO has become a compound word.
Let's take a look at the pinyin puzzle linked by sound changes.
Answer: It's a DìNG.
DìNG, put the syllables together and read what is decision?
ZHι (idiom) Answer: One word.
ZH: Three letters are always read together.
Bai (dramatic terminology) Answer: Nianbai.
BAI three letters spell white.
Q (lè) à (playing idioms) Answer: Qi Le.
Look at the spelling of lè in brackets and qi in brackets from the riddle, and then look at the positional relationship between them. Music is just an answer between qi (it).
Some of the riddles above use sound changes to lock the bottom.
The following is a foreign language riddle.
Goodbye (typing)
Many pronunciations can say goodbye. Goodbye means a new understanding.
Look at the samples and guess riddles, riddles with limited understanding of words and letters.
Most of the excellent works are relatively dull and slightly less profound.
(3) Physical riddles
Physical puzzles use physical objects as riddles. By displaying one or several objects, people can guess riddles through their own characteristics and internal relations.
Here are two examples of puzzles.
Stick a stamp on the table (guess common expressions) Answer: Credit.
Mastering the characteristics of stamps, stamps are dry for sending letters-in short, credit.
Put a pair of hairdressing tools on the table (guess idioms) Answer: Put them in order.
The principle of putting hairdressing tools aside and putting them back.
The charade is similar to the physical riddle mentioned above. When guessing and shooting, the guessing player is also required to do some action. The answer must be related to the physical object and implied in the action.
A little man with an inch-long woodcarving asked to guess the action.
When guessing boxing, someone stepped forward and caught the villain. The onlookers were surprised, but the host said that he guessed right. The original riddle is broken into inch by inch, and the action of grasping the real thing on the riddle is stealing meaning.
Re-contrast: putting four chopsticks on the table requires action. When playing idiom puzzles, people break chopsticks, and chopsticks become three long and two short puzzles: three long and two short.
(4) couplets
Couplet riddles treat couplets as riddles.
According to legend, Lv Mengzheng, a famous scholar in the Song Dynasty, was born in a poor family in his early years, although he was knowledgeable. Every Spring Festival, he would put a couplet on his doorstep.
Part I: 2345 Part II: 6789 Horizontal Batch: North and South
Sticking couplets attracted many people to watch, and everyone talked about it. No one told the mystery. A scholar passed by, read the couplets and solved the mystery. The original missing word puzzle is just missing. The second couplet 6789 is just missing ten: there is no communication between the north and the south. The answer is: nothing (clothes), nothing (food). Lv Mengzheng skillfully used couplets to tell the hardships of his life.
Let's tell the riddle story of couplets again.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a minister named Qian was frightened by the powerful offensive of the Qing army. He drag out an ignoble existence, recognized the thief as his father, surrendered to the Qing army and retired to build a temple to show his elegance. He invited a scholar to write a couplet, and the old scholar wrote a couplet.
Part I: 234567 Part II: Filial piety, faithfulness, courtesy and sincerity.
He also leaked crossword puzzles and cursed money forgetting (Wang) for shame.
In addition to missing words, couplet riddles also have their forms:
Add water to make good wine; Homelessness and Widowhood (Type2) Answer: Single family
Once again:
Black, white, red, yellow and fox, cats, wolves and dogs seem to be neither domestic animals nor wild animals;
There are also poems, words in the Analects of Confucius, and short essays that are vague about east, west, north and south.
(Playing entertainment) Answer: Guess.
The black, white, red and yellow in the first half of the first part of the couplet refer to green; Half sentence and fox, cat, wolf and dog seem to be neither domestic animals nor wild animals (in ancient times, dogs and dogs were different: older children were called dogs and younger children were called dogs); Qing and the dog () guess the word together. The first half of the poem also has words, and the Analects also has words (the speaker also has words); Half a sentence is vague things, things, south and north; Words and riddles add up to a riddle, which can be called a riddle Although it is short, it is also a wonderful story. The answer is a riddle: guessing.
(5) Seal riddle calligraphy riddle
The Mystery of Seal Carving is a mystery, which has been circulating in China for a long time. Most of the seal scripts are also called seal puzzles or seal puzzles, which help people who know seal scripts guess and shoot. Sometimes it is necessary to add a seal description. When guessing the seal riddle, you only need to deduct the riddle according to the shape and meaning of the seal, and borrow seal words such as seal, seal, inscription, treatment, identification, seal and seal, as well as gold, jade, stone, wood and teeth.
Seal on the left: Heat (modern name) Answer: Zhang Taiyan.
Fasten the heat with the temple, and then add Zhang Zizhang Taiyan.
Seal on the left: seeking speed (playing idioms)
Speed is required, and on the other hand, it is allowed to slowly change into classical Chinese, so it is better to add lettering to idioms.
As we all know, the seal carved into convex characters is called Hongsuo, and it is also called Zhu Wen carved into concave characters called Baisuo, which is also called making unique and interesting seal mysteries according to the characteristics of seals.
Seal on the left: Shun and Inverse (idiom)
Yang Wen, Yin Wen, Shun Wen, Shun Wen, Shun Wen, Shun Wen, Shun Wen, Shun Wen, Shun Wen, Shun Wen and Shun Wen respectively.
In addition, the seal has the same border shape, and if the border shape is inscrutable, the mystery of the seal will be stronger.
The following seal: Guangxi (famous food) Answer: longan.
Guangxi is called Guimeiyin for short, which is round and coincides with longan.
Calligraphy riddles riddles all kinds of fonts, handwritten characters, riddles are mainly based on various calligraphy fonts. The riddles all contain the characters of seal, official script, kai, xing and Cao. The words on the right need to be typed, and the words written in official script have their own characteristics. It has become a difficult problem to analyze official script and add words beside it.
On the right hand side, write honey words in cursive script, and ask for the answer of medicine name. The word licorice honey is sweet. It is said that licorice is added to the cursive script in classical Chinese.
(6) Don't play crossword puzzles
No crossword puzzles. The puzzle uses words, pictures and objects, and uses the color, shape and quantity of the puzzle itself to subtly allude to the riddle. The riddle looks empty, without words, as if it is impossible to guess. In fact, riddles always leave empty, nothing, white, nothing and so on to indicate that there are no words.
Hang a blank note (idiom) Answer: The paper is empty.
Hang a black note and a white note (idiom) Answer: black and white.
Hang two white notes (in dramatic terms) A: Dialogue (dialogue)

24 (terms of playing sports)
As we all know, da da (reading da da) is a unique quantifier in China, with twelve pencils, twelve pencils on the puzzle and twenty-four on the puzzle. Carefully consider more than 20 words, two meanings, type (dá) homophonic word, change the meaning into (dǐ), and connect them into a crossword puzzle: doubles.
0000 (idiom)
At first glance, the mystery is really puzzling. The meaning of 40 is really just staring at 40 to find the answer. We might as well do something about this mystery. We added 1 become 10000 before it. By contrast, the two puzzles we dealt with became 10000, while the original puzzle was 40, which means it is meaningless. What's the difference between two puzzles? We added 10000 at the front.
13579 (idiom) Answer: Nothing strange.
The theory of singular riddle captures the inherent characteristics of riddle and summarizes it accurately.
In addition, riddles made with formulas are called formula riddles.
Example:
100- 1 (typing) answer: white.
The meaning of the riddle will turn white after being removed hundreds of times.
7÷2 (playing idioms)
The path formula can divide the knot into 3 and 4, and it is difficult for us to find the answer of 3 or 4 by analyzing 3.5 samples.
10002 =100×100× l00 (idiom)
The left side of the equation is 1000 square meters, and the right side of the equation is 300 square meters, which becomes 100 square meters, so we will guess every idiom.
But in our school, we use different methods to solve puzzles, which has nothing to do with the original intention of idioms. Therefore, we say that people who use important methods often have to master them well.
Let's look at the riddle of two formulas again.
6+6 (Typing) Puzzle: The process is decomposed, and 12 puzzles are completely matched.
242÷22 (typing) Answer: The water content is decomposed into quotient ten, which is completely in line with the puzzle.
The first two puzzles all use font combination.
(8) Mystery of symbols
Riddle composed of symbol are called symbol riddles:
+-× (political terminology) The answer is: separatism.
We divide the word "ism" into+,-,×, and riddles, mainly focusing on glyphs. Use strokes to increase the loss of clutch and use them flexibly, and you can guess the answer.
There are also riddles of pictographic symbols.
[] (There are four words in common words) Answer: Open the bow left and right.
Look at these brackets. They look like two bows pulled left and right.
(Type four common words) Answer: dribs and drabs.

Sometimes it is more interesting to connect words and symbols to make puzzles. Please see:
Good (doing exercise)
A riddle is like a person clapping for good words and symbols. This riddle is divided into two parts. The idea is ingenious: female baseball girls use divorce to deduct good luck; Baseball buttons use hieroglyphs, just like baseball.
Some symbolic puzzles are also guessed by cognitive method:
(idiom)
Repetition marks on the score indicate that the music in the marks needs to be repeated and then repeated from the beginning. Let's think about it carefully, which idiom we have learned has the meaning of repeating back and forth. But everyone guessed the answer again and again, which explained the function of the symbols in the riddle very appropriately.
(9) Story riddle
Tell a simple story, solve riddles and make people guess. One kind of riddle is called story riddle.
Riddles have a long history in China and are widely circulated among the people. Stories with characters and plots are more complete, richer and more interesting than their formal riddles. Let's talk about the riddle story of Su Dongpo's gift. Su Dongpo, a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, likes traveling very much and takes small books to play at the foot of the mountain. At that time, the sun was like fire at noon, and he felt thirsty. Sitting on a big stone, Su Dongpo looked up and saw a temple halfway up the mountain. Su Dongpo's eyes rang with bells from time to time.
When buddhist nun asked questions, Dongpo only smiled. When buddhist nun saw this, he asked many questions and went straight to the temple.
The old monk in the temple saw Su Dongpo and buddhist nun and asked us what we were doing here. Buddhist nun told his master that he had to wear a straw hat and clogs to get things from the temple. The old monk laughed after hearing this, and immediately took out what Su Dongpo wanted and gave it to buddhist nun. He suddenly realized that he really admired the master's cleverness. Friends can guess what Su Dongpo wants.
It turns out that Su Dongpo wants tea. Buddhist nun dressed up as a grass head, and the meaning of man and wood adds up to the word tea.
Tell the mystery of the story first.
Once upon a time, someone opened a shop to attract business, and specially set up a big sign in front of the shop, which read:
When the moon is hanging at half the sky and Chang 'e sleeps with her son, it will rain and study.
Since the signboard was put on the market, the customers' business has been booming and the owners have made a lot of money.
Please guess what the sign says.
It turns out that there are four words on the signboard to sell good wine, and each poem has just been typed. Look at the first sentence: the moon hangs half the sky and half the sky together. The second sentence: Chang 'e sleeps with her son. Sleeping with her son with the female characters in Chang 'e's woman just synthesized a good word. The third sentence: If it rains, it will rain, and if there is water, it will be divided into three parts, which has become a wine word. The fourth sentence: reading is meaningless. Read words without words and leave them for sale. There are good wines to sell.
I hope it will be helpful to you and I hope it will be adopted.
