Scatteringmethod:UsethepositionchangeofthestrokesofChinesecharacters,withoutaddingorlosing,toachievethepurposeofhavingmeinyouandyouinme,andmutualdifference.
Displacementmethod:Accordingtothemodificationrelationshipoftheenigmaticcharacters,movetheChinesecharacterstrokestoformtheanswertotheenigma.
Themethodofincompleteness:Theanswerisformedthroughtheincompletecombinationofriddledcharacters.Theincompletepartdependsonthemystery,andthenumberofincompletestrokesismoreorless,oronestroke,orhalf,orresidualedge,orresidualangle,whichcanbeusedflexibly.
TongjiaMethod:Changethemeaningofawordinthemysterytotheancientmeaning.Alsoknownas"Gutong",thispassisfalseandhasdifferentinterpretations,andsomecharactershavedifferentpronunciations.
Profitandlossmethod:Takethestrokesofthetext,oronemorestroke,butonelessstroke;makecleveradjustmentstothepuzzle,andthemeaningofthepuzzleshouldbelogical.
KnowingMethod:Alsoknownasthewordmeaninganalysismethod,itisoneofthetwomainmethodsoflanternriddleguessing,justlikethewordsplittingmethod.Itcomprehends,associates,scrutinizes,andexploresthepossiblemeaningsofthewords(includingwords,wordsorsentences)onthepuzzlesurface,sothatthepuzzlesurfacematchesthespecificmeaningafterdifferentsolutions.Forexample:alonghookonthefaceandafanonthecornerofthehead.Fourthickpillars,asmallbraid(hitananimal)Mystery:Elephant.
Reflectionmethod:Guessitagainstthemeaningofthemystery.Forexample:Don’tusethevillain(playaChineseherbalmedicine:makeagentleman)
Deductionmethod:Don’tusetheoriginalmeaningofthemysteryormulti-meaningandanti-meaning.Tobuckletheanswer.Forexample:Enlightened(DaYiTangdynastywriter:YuanJie)"Enlightened"isnotinterpretedas"thebeginningoftheMingDynasty",thatis,theendoftheYuanDynasty,sotheansweris"YuanJie".
Sidebucklemethod:Donotunderstandtheoriginalmeaningofthemysteryface-to-face,andusemultiplemeaningstohighlightthebuckle-and-closemysteryfromtheside.Forexample:JiangFengYuhuo(acharacterin"TheScholarsofScholars:DoubleRed")where"DoubleRed"isnamedafter"Maple"and"Fire".Both"Maple"and"Fire"arered,so"DoubleRed""Fuckthemystery.
Scorededuction:Thewordsonthepuzzlefacearerespectivelycombinedwiththewordsontheanswer,somearedeductedbyoneword,somearedeductedbymultiplecharacters,andsomebymultiplecharactersaredeductedbyone.Character.Forexample:WangChuan(playingaKunquoperarepertoire:fifteenguanxi)"Wang"iscommonlyknownas"fifteenguanxi","Chuan"and"guan"aresynonymous,respectivelydeductedas"fifteenguanxi"
Traceabilitymethod:"Tracetothesource"andtracethesourceofthemysteryandtheupperandlowercorrelationswithitsoriginalsource,andthenlinkupthemystery.Itisalsocalledalinkbetweenthepreviousandthenext.Forexample:PeachBlossomTanShuiShenQianChi(aidiom:unparalleled)Thismysteryisbasedonthenextsentence"PeachBlossomTanShuiShenQianChi","notasgoodasWangLun'ssentimenttome".
Addition:Addthestrokesofsomeofthecharacterssuggestedonthepuzzlesurfaceoraddsomecharacterstogethertofitthepuzzle.Forexample:goodmountainandgoodwater(typetwocharacters:Cui,Huai)where"good"isusedtodenote"good","goodmountain"and"goodmountain",andthesumofitselfis"Cui";"goodwater"and"goodwater"",addingtoitselfbecomes"Huai".
Subtraction:Reducethestrokesofsomeofthecharacterssuggestedonthepuzzlesurface,orsubtractcertaincharacterstobucklethepuzzle.Forexample:thereisnowaterinthepoolandnomudontheground(typeoneword:ye)"Ye"thatremovesthethreepointsofwaterinthe"pool",andalso"yes"ifyouremovethesoilwordfor"land".
Additionandsubtraction:Accordingtothehintsonthepuzzlesurface,somecharactersincreasestrokes,somecharactersdecreasestrokes,andbothaddandsubtract,andfinallybucklethepuzzleground.Forexample:theupperheadgoestothelowerhead,thelowerheadgoestotheupperhead,thetwoendsgotothemiddle,andthemiddlegoestothetwoends.The"go"ofthispuzzleistheeyeofthepuzzle,whichcanbecombinedintothepuzzlebydividingitintotwoparts.Theansweris:to.Cause:Theupperpartof"Zhi"isthelowerpartof"Go",andthelowerpartof"Zhi"istheupperpartof"Go".Themiddleof"zhi"isthetwoendsof"to",thetwoendsof"zhi"arethetwoendsof"to",andthetwoendsof"zhi"arethemiddleof"to".Soitis"to"!
Removalmethod:Inthismystery,themysterysurfacereflectstheseparationofthemystery.Whenguessing,synthesizethepuzzlesurface,andthenbucklethepuzzle.Forexample:Sevenpeople(playingacountyname:Kaihua)
Leavingthefacemethod:Separatecertaincharactersfromthefaceofthemysterytobuckletheanswertothemystery.Forexample:姧(playingaidiom:thewordsofafamily)
Pictographicmethod:Accordingtothecharacteristicsofthings,thestructureofChinesecharacters(phaseshapes),anthropomorphicobjectsarevisualizedtomakepeopleArouseassociationsandincreaseinterest.Forexample:Twospotsontheicearetoomany,thestonespressthewatertoclimbtheslope.(Takeanoun:waterpump)
Imagepaintingmethod:Thismysteryisbasedontheoverallpictureofthemystery.Meanstoclosetheanswer.Forexample:tworowsofdistanttreesandreflectionsofmountains,andalightboatwithahorizontalstream.(Typeaword:Hui)
StraightHarmonyMethod:Whenmakingtheanswer,usewordswiththesameorsimilarsoundinsteadofwordsthatshouldbeusedtodrawpeople’sattentionOpen,toachievethepurposeofhidingtheanswer.Forexample:addShiliang(beatacity:Tianjin),"AddShiliang"and"Tianjin",homophonicwith"Tianjin".
Inter-harmonicmethod:First,somecharactersinthemysteryaredisassembledandchanged,andthenthehomophonyiscombinedwiththemystery.Forexample:whenthetwospecificationsaredifferent(typeoneword:shoes),whenguessing,firstsplit"shoes"intotwoparts,"gui"and"ge","gui"and"gui"arehomonyms,and"ge"and"ge"arehomonyms,Whichfitstheanswer.
Comparisonmethod:Puttingwordswithsimilaroroppositeshapesandmeaningstogetherandcomparingthemtofitthepuzzle.Forexample:Addingastrokeisnotgood,anddoublingalot(typeoneword:xi)
Personification:Personalizethewordsonthepuzzlesurfacetofitthepuzzleanswer.Forexample:Thereisalittlegirlwearingayellowshirt.Ifyoubullyher,shewillpokeashot.(Hitananimal:bee)
Imitationmethod:PutpeopleOracertainpartofthehumanbodyismaterialized,orthemeaningsofthewordsorthethingsspokeninthemysteryfacearetransformedtofittheanswertothemystery.Forexample:Pillow.(Takeaidiom:putitbehindyourhead)
Line-drawingmethod:Itisalsoknownasthemysteryfacehasacodifiedarrogance.Themysteryoriginallyhasanallusion,butinsteadofusingtheplotmeaningoftheallusion,itusesthemeaningofthemysterytexttoalignthemystery.Forexample,"Moonlightinfrontofthebed",theansweris"Kuang".Whenguessing,itignorestheplotofLiBaiyue'shometownintheoriginalpoem,andonlygraspsthat"infrontofthebed"istheword"Guang",andthe"brightmoonlight"is"Sun".Theword,combinedintotheword"Kuang".
Question-and-answermethod:Thistypeofmysteryusuallyusesaquestion-stylepuzzlesurfaceandananswer-stylepuzzlesolution.Forexample:Whoisinchargeofthe800,000ForbiddenArmy?(Takeaidiom:bearthebrunt)
OperationCode:part-of-speechriddlesusefamiliaridioms,colloquialisms,poems,andallusionsasriddles,andthemeaningsarenotsolved,therebyaligningTheanswer.Forexample:Baoyu'sproposal(playingahistoricalfigureintheUnitedStates:Lincoln)

Theabove-mentionednatureofthemysteryofthingsdeterminesthatitsmysterysurfaceshouldbesufficienttoeffectivelyconcealthecharacteristicsofthemystery.Therefore,itisimpossibletojustAwordcannotbeawordorphrase,andgenerallycannotbeasentencewithafewnumbers.Therefore,unlikeliteraryriddles,thelanguageandtextexpressionofthepuzzlesurfaceofthingsisalmostalwayslargerthantheanswer.Thereasonforthisisthatthetwoendsofthemysteryofthings,oneendisthemysteryface,andtheotherendisthemystery;themysteryfaceisjustthe"characteristics"ofthemystery,itisasmallpartofthewholeoftherich"quality"ofthemystery,andthemysteryisqualitatively.Thedeficienciesmustbecompensatedbyadequateamounts.⑥Thereisactuallya"qualitativedeficiency"intheliteralmystery,butthereasonisdifferentfromthatofthething;thequalitativedeficiencyoftheliteralmysteryismoreseriousthanthethingmysterytoacertainextent,andtheamountofthemysteryisnotsufficient.,Willhaveasignificantimpactonthebuckle.
