What do you mean, Ding Zhen?

Thimble (thimble), also called Julian and Lian Lian, is a rhetorical method, which means that the same word is used to modify the phonology of two sentences at the end of the previous sentence and the beginning of the next sentence. Note: when using this method, there is no need to limit the number of words or the level of the upper and lower sentences, but the intersection of the upper and lower sentences must use the same word or word.

Overall: interlocking and fascinating. Specifically: discussion and reasoning should be accurate, detailed and thorough. Lyric freehand brushwork, fresh style. Narrative, coherent.

Truth can make the sentence structure regular, the tone coherent, and highlight the interlocking between things. Palindrome can be written into sentences by reading forward and backward, which fully demonstrates and makes use of two characteristics of Chinese, namely monosyllabic morpheme and word order as important grammatical means. Reading is endless, giving people a stirring and interesting aesthetic feeling.

Example:

There is a couplet hanging in a temple: "a big belly can accommodate things that are difficult to accommodate in the world;" Open your mouth and laugh at the ridiculous people in the world. "In this way, the word at the end of the last sentence is used as the beginning of the next sentence, so that the sentences are connected with each other, the tone is coherent, and the meaning of the sentence is smooth. This rhetorical method is called the truth, also called thimble, couplet and reelection.

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.
