The Metaphorical Exploration of “I’m More Frail Than Yellow Flowers”

本文以李清照《醉花阴·薄雾浓云愁永昼》中的“人比黄花瘦”为例，对其背后的隐喻建构机制及意义理解进行了探究，发现隐喻的建构离不开语义冲突，隐喻的理解离不开语境，尤其是文化语境。This paper examines Li Qingzhao’s line “I’m more frail than yellow flowers” from “To the Tune of Tipsy in the Flower’s Shade”, exploring the metaphorical construction and interpretive significance behind the verse. The study reveals that metaphor formation hinges on semantic tension, while its comprehension depends critically on contextual frameworks—particularly cultural codification.
