English alliteration, also called vowel rhyme, or alliteration, is transformed from the Latin phrase ad literam, which means that two or more words have the same initial letter, forming a pleasant pronunciation. The most common alliteration phrases are: first and foremost, (with) strength and foremost, saints and sinners, (in) happiness and (or) sadness. If we trace back to the source, I'm afraid alliteration can be traced back to old English. Around the fifth century, Anglo-Saxon invaders brought Anglo-Saxon to the British, which is the basis of modern English. Perhaps even then, they also brought a new form of poetry, whose main feature is the frequent use of alliteration.
Only the first phoneme of the first part or the first consonant group of the first part are the same. If the first part is completely missing, only the main vowel can be the same. Alliteration is a means to strengthen the sense of rhythm of lines and a rhythm auxiliary factor. This is also an important expression of English pursuit of formal beauty and phonological beauty.
Many Chinese conjunctions are also alliterative, such as collected:
Tang Di loquat spiders, centipedes, lizards, grubs and crickets.
