Duality is a rhetorical device commonly used by ancient literati when writing poems, and it belongs to a form of duality. It means that in a poem, two words or phrases with related meanings and coordinated phonology are placed at the beginning and end of a sentence respectively, so as to achieve the effect of echo and antithesis. The function of couplets is to enhance the sense of rhythm and beauty of poetry and make the whole poem more beautiful and smooth. ?
Couplets are generally composed of four words, and a few are composed of six words. In the creation of ancient poems, many famous poets, such as Du Fu and Bai Juyi, are good at using antithetical couplets.
Turning one's face is a rhetorical device, which originated from China ancient literature. It is at the beginning and end of a poem that the same group of words or expressions are used to echo and correspond to each other. There are many forms of antithesis of couplets, which can be echoed by words, synonyms and antonyms with the same image, or by words with the same word order and part of speech.
It is called Zhuan Xu for the following reasons:
1, the word couplet refers to the chin part of ancient Chinese characters, and couplet means connection and combination. Zhuan Lian is called Zhuan Lian because it puts two words or phrases with related meanings and coordinated phonology at the beginning and end of the poem, and it also symbolizes the combination of two parts with chin as the connection point.
2. This antithesis structure makes the rhythm and rhythm of the whole poem more harmonious, echoes more closely, and enhances the aesthetic feeling and artistic effect of the whole poem. So this rhetorical device is called couplets.
3. The use of couplets can strengthen the effect of contrast, equivalence, repetition or echo, and make the whole poem or article more complete in structure, more harmonious in phonology and more incisive in artistic conception. Parallel prose is also one of the important features of China's ancient poems, and it often appears in many ancient poems, such as Li Sao, Seven Unique Poems, Xijiang Moon Qixi and so on.
