What is repetition?

Reduplication of chapters and sentences is a common technique in poetry, that is, a method of expressing meaning by repeatedly singing the upper and lower sentences or the upper and lower paragraphs in the same structural form. This technique has the effect of repeated expression and the beauty of phonology, artistic conception and implication.

Understand the artistic expression and rhythmic features of Fu Bixing's composition in The Book of Songs, in which the method of emphasizing chapters and overlapping sentences is used:

Jianjia

Jianjia (jiān jiā) is grey, and the white dew is frost. ? The so-called Iraqis are on the water side.

if you follow it, the road will be blocked and long. Swim back from it, in the middle of the water.

Jian Jian is growing, and the white dew is still fresh. ? The so-called Iraqis are in the water (meí).

if you go back and follow it, the road will be blocked and broken (j Ι). Swim from it, and swim in the water (chí).

the dew is not yet in the harvest. The so-called Iraqis are in the water.

if you follow it, the road is blocked and right; Swim upstream from it and swim in the water (zhǐ).

Comment on an emotion sung repeatedly with the same structural form in the upper and lower paragraphs. Although the images written are different, writing through the same structural form makes people feel musical and the emotion expressed by the author more attractive.

Overall summary: The artistic charm of repeated sentences in The Book of Songs is like this: the sentence patterns and meanings of several chapters are basically the same, only the adjustment of individual words has produced a lyrical effect of singing and sighing, and the repeated rhythm has strengthened the lyrical effect. Let every reader and audience feel like chanting again and again, and the unforgettable memory of every word, even the river can sing softly.

Fang Yurun, a Qing dynasty man, once described this effect as "suddenly listening to the women of the Tian family, answering each other's songs in the plain wilderness, windy and sunny, and the lingering sound curled up, suddenly interrupted and continued".
