parallel prose (prose written in the parallel style)
Also known as Parallel Prose, Parallel Prose or Parallel Prose, it is a style in ancient China and consists of two pairs of sentences.

The basic syntax is four characters and six characters, and the antonym of four characters and six characters is also called four characters. And pay attention to the rhythm, the beauty of words, the duality of words and allusions.
In the late Spring and Autumn Period, another rhyme appeared in the northern part of the Central Plains in response to the birth of Chu Ci in the southern dialect of May 7th. It alternately uses the four sentences in the Book of Songs and the prose in the pre-Qin period, which is more flexible and relatively regular than the Book of Songs. The performance of this new style in Fu Bixing is "Fu". In other words, "tell the story directly and spread it out to compare with others." How long the article is, it is called "short fu"

During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Fu style merged with the poems of Qi Liang at that time, resulting in "Parallel Prose". The form is relatively neat, paying special attention to four or six sentences, and it is four or six couplets.
"Parallel" means two horses side by side. Parallel prose, a style in which two words are opposite. Because of the common use of four-character and six-character sentences, it is also called "four-character prose" or "turning around". The whole article focuses on antithesis, pays attention to the neatness of antithesis and has a sonorous rhythm.
