Tongue twister is a folk language game in China, which combines easily confused words with initials, finals or tones into repeated, overlapping, flashing and awkward sentences, requiring quick pronunciation in one breath.
Tongue twisters are characterized by deliberately combining several disyllabic words with overlapping rhymes or words with the same or similar pronunciation and easily confused words into simple and interesting rhymes, thus forming an easy-to-read but interesting language art. It is worth mentioning that tongue twisters are good teaching materials for language training. Seriously practicing tongue twister can make your mind react flexibly, use your breath freely, articulate your mouth clearly and avoid stuttering. It can also be used as a casual and funny language game. For example, "there is a round eye in front of the mountain, and there is a round eye behind the mountain. The two are better than the eyes in front of the mountain; I don't know whether Yan's eyes are rounder than Yang's or Yang's eyes are rounder than Yan's. "There is a song called" The Oracle and the Garlic Hanger ",which also sounds charming:" There are Oracle and Garlic Hanger in the street. Divination is divination, garlic is for sale. The fortune teller called the one who hung garlic and the one who hung garlic called the one who bought garlic. Those who calculate divination don't buy garlic with garlic, and those who hang garlic are not divination. "Listening to these two tongue twisters will definitely make people feel interesting.
Tongue twister [3] has a dual structure and a consistent structure. The dual sentences are dual and step by step, such as Forty: "Four is four, and ten is ten; Say four, the tongue touches the teeth; If you want to say ten, don't straighten your tongue; If you want to say four and ten, practice ten and four more. " The most famous double tongue twister is a tongue twister couplet circulated among the people in China, such as: "The boy hits the tung tree, and the tung tree falls down, and the boy is happy;" The girl gnawed at the duck head. The duck head is salty, and the girl hates it. "This pair of circuitous couplets is homophonic, quite circuitous and cleverly combined." Seeking freedom is uncomfortable, knowing that freedom is natural and comfortable; If you realize Tathagata, you want to be Tathagata. If you are not Tathagata, you are Tathagata. "The upper part and the lower part list four' freedom' and' Tathagata' respectively. The meanings of the four representations are different and intriguing.
Tongue twisters are consistent, interlocking, and in-depth sentences, such as: "Looking at a pile of ash from a distance, there is a turtle squatting on the ash, and a ghost squatting on the turtle. The ghost carried water for nothing, which made the turtle's tail wet. The turtle wants the ghost to pay for the turtle tail, and the ghost wants the turtle to pay for the ghost water. " "Black fertilizer turns gray, and gray fertilizer is black. Black fertilizer will volatilize when it turns gray, gray fertilizer will turn black, and gray fertilizer will turn gray when it turns black. " "A little flower drum with a tiger on it. The baby broke the drum, and mother took a cloth to mend it. I don't know if it is cloth to make up the drum or cloth to make up the tiger. " "There is a nail on the wall, and a rope is hung on the nail. The rope slides under the bottle, breaking the lamp under the bottle and breaking the basin under the lamp. Bottles smash lamps, lamps smash pots, pots curse lamps, lamps curse bottles, bottles curse ropes, ropes curse nails, nails blame ropes, ropes blame bottles, bottles blame lamps, lamps blame pots. Ding dong, ding dong, bang! "
It can be seen that tongue twisters are humorous and lively, with strong sense of rhythm and rich musical effects. Some people read aloud in dialects with strong local characteristics. Traditional tongue twisters only pay attention to the homophony of words, but ignore their ideological content. Nowadays, when creating tongue twisters, China folk literary and art workers have injected a new flavor of the times, and some of them have the function of helping people think, such as lions: "There are four rows of stone lions in the park, each row is fourteen big stone lions, each big stone lion has a small stone lion on its back, and each big stone lion has four small stone lions at its foot. Teacher Shi led forty-four students to count stone lions. How many big stone lions do you think there are?
