The meaning of double-voiced rhyme is as follows:
The word "Yuanyang" is a double-voiced couplet in ancient times, but in modern times it is a non-double-voiced couplet.
Double tone means that two syllables have the same initial consonant. For example: the initial consonants of the two words "lingli" (ling li) are both side sounds, so it is a two-tone word; overlapping rhyme means that the two syllables have the same final consonant. For example: Huang Tang (huang tang) both rhymes with ang, and Xiaoyao (xiao yao) both rhymes with ao, which are called words with overlapping rhymes.
Double tones and overlapping rhymes are important word-forming means for forming disyllabic words in ancient Chinese. Most of the ancient connected disyllabic words (that is, two-syllable words with only one morpheme that cannot be separated) are double-tone words or overlapping rhyming words.
Discovery and role
Modern scholar Wang Guowei compiled a "Lianmian Zipu", which included the pre-Qin works "Poetry", "Book", "Yi" and "Li" , "Zuo Zhuan", Zhuzi, "Chu Ci" as well as "Shuowen" and "Erya" selected 2774 couplets, of which 2058 have double tones with overlapping rhymes, including 1353 with double tones and 705 with overlapping rhymes. The characters account for more than 70% of the Lianmian characters.
Another function of double voices and overlapping rhymes is to increase the musical beauty of language. For example: Bai Juyi's poem "Since the war in Henan, the famine in Guanzhong, the brothers have been separated, each in one place."
The double tones and overlapping rhymes of "Wang Yue" also led to the discovery of medieval initial consonants and rhymes. Because the representatives of double-tone characters can become initial consonants (letters), and the overlapping rhyme characters can become rhyme parts when they are compiled together. However, because overlapping rhymes are easy to understand but double sounds are difficult to understand, rhyme books were produced in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and alphabets were only produced in the late Tang and Five Dynasties.
Extended information
Common words include double-voiced rhyming words, connected words, and double-voiced words:
Double-voiced rhyming words: a phonological phenomenon in Chinese . It is common in couplets and poems. Appropriate use of double-voice rhyme will enhance the musical beauty of the couplet.

Wandering liuli: wandering and scattered.
Lianmian Ci. A type of disyllabic morpheme. A continuous word is a word that is composed of two syllables that are joined together to form a meaning but cannot be separated. It has two characters and only one morpheme. Some of these two words have the same initial consonant, such as "generous"; some have the same rhyme part, such as "yaoyou"; some have repeated homonyms, such as "zizi"
Overlapping words are constructed by repeating the same syllable Word is a very widely used part of speech. Through the use of overlapping words, the sounds, shapes, emotions and attitudes of people and objects can be vividly described, with a lifelike expression effect. The use of overlapping words in literary works greatly increases the image of the language and enhances the appeal of the work.
