In the creation of couplets, the application of overlapping characters is very extensive and can be seen almost everywhere. For example:
Through winds and rains, warm and cold, I look for them everywhere.
The orioles and swallows, the flowers and leaves, the darlings and maidens come and go;
This is a couplet with overlapping characters from the Master of the Nets Garden in Suzhou. The upper couplet is composed of Li Qingzhao's poem " "Slow sound" makes Lianyu unique. The whole couplet describes the garden's beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, birds singing and fragrance of flowers, as well as the situation where tourists linger and lovers are in love with each other from both vertical and horizontal perspectives. The couplet has a sonorous sound when read, and the sentences have rich and profound meanings, adding infinite interest to tourists. Another example:
Looking and searching, deserted and miserable;
South and south, north and north, civilized and military, fighting and fighting, killing and slashing, searching and plundering all the time. Scrape and see if it's clean;
In every house, there are women, men, and men, lonely and widowed, frightened and crying everywhere, it's really miserable.
This couplet was circulated for a while before liberation. It vividly mocked the miserable scene of old China under the rule of the Kuomintang and exposed the social reality at that time.
Double word couplets use the same word one after another, like beads on a string, which can produce obvious rhythmic effects. Please take a look
