A rhetorical method that uses another essentially different but similar thing as a metaphor. It can be divided into simile, metaphor, metonymy, etc. The function of metaphor is that it can turn the unknown into the known; it can turn the abstract into the concrete; it can turn the esoteric into the easy to understand; it can turn the ordinary into vivid and vivid.

Specifically, it is in this form: the upper and lower sentences or the two parts of a sentence each seem to say one thing, but in fact they are They echo each other, analyze each other, complement each other, and say the same thing.
