The prototype imagery of poetic metaphors of"Red Classics"and Chinese cultural inheritance
For the general public,the"Red Classics"have the artistic charm of stirring the soul.This artistic charm comes from its unique poetic metaphors of sun/light and centre/edge.This poetic metaphor is not only a rhe-torical technique but also an element of textual construction,implying that the victory of the Chinese Revolu-tion is as unstoppable as the rising sun.This poetic metaphor comes from the collective unconsciousness and prototype imagery of the Chinese nation and is passed down through the small traditions of folk culture.Through such poetic metaphors,"Red Classics"connect the source of Chinese culture,tell the story of the Chinese Red Revolution well,inherit the red gene,and continue the red bloodline.
