This rhetorical method was widely used by scholars in ancient times, which can not only enhance the sense of rhythm of the article, but also be interesting. Huang Tingjian, a writer in the Northern Song Dynasty, once toured Gantang Lake in Jiujiang, Jiangxi with friends. There is a "Sixian Bridge" on the long dike of the lake. Looking at the bridge, Huang Tingjian blurted out the first couplet: "Sixian Bridge, the sage is on the bridge, and the venerable person is the name of the history."
My friend couldn't answer for a moment, so Huang Tingjian made a couplet: "Pipa Hall, Pavilion under Pipa, Sima's eyes are full of tears." This couplet is a historical story. When Bai Juyi was demoted, he served as the secretariat of Jiujiang and made great achievements. Later generations, Baigong Temple commemorated him. He wrote the famous poem Pipa Travel in Jiujiang, and later generations built Pipa Hall as a memorial.
Huang Tingjian sang this couplet with this historical fact and two buildings, and used the rhetorical device of "truthfulness", which can be described as ingenious and interesting.
