1, parallel. Arrange three or more sentences with similar structure and length, consistent tone, related meaning or the same.

2. Duality. A pair of phrases or sentences with equal words, the same or basically the same structural form and symmetrical meaning, expressing two opposite or similar meanings.
Function: neat and symmetrical, strong sense of rhythm, high generality, easy to remember and beautiful in music.

Express definite meaning in the form of questions, express negation in the form of affirmative questions, express affirmation in the form of negative questions, and only ask without answering.
