Candles turned to dust and tears dried up.
Look at a thousand fingers coldly,
Keep your head down and be a willing cow.
But you expanded your horizons by 300 miles,
Walk up a flight of stairs.
Binary type
1. Right: Explain the same thing from two angles and two sides, and complement each other in content. The dual meaning of the previous sentence and the next sentence is similar, similar, complementary or contrasting. For example:
I can't bear to see that terrible sight; Gossip, especially when it reaches my ears.
Objection: The meaning of the context is opposite or relative. For example:
Full loss, little gain.
Revolutionaries are loyal, although they are still alive;
Careerists bring disaster to the country and people, and life is worse than death.
Third, string pair: contextual relevance (undertaking, coherence, progression, causality, hypothesis, conditions, etc. ) This is called string pairing. For example:
The rivers and mountains may change, but not one's essential nature
There is also a village.
Wildfire never devours them,
They have grown taller in the spring breeze.
Duality can be divided into two forms.
First, strict duality: the upper and lower sentences are required to have the same number of words, the same structure, relative parts of speech, and parallel words, and words cannot be used repeatedly. For example:
A broken hat covered the downtown area,
The leaking ship carried a lot of wine.
Look at a thousand fingers coldly,
Keep your head down and be a willing cow.
Second, generalized duality: the five requirements of strict duality are not so strict as long as some of them are met. For example:
I often think: the willows are graceful, the peaches and plums are gorgeous and unusually bright. ...
Dual function
First, the content to be expressed can be highly summarized and concentrated.
Second, it can enhance the sense of rhythm, make the language neat, the sentences symmetrical, catchy and easy to remember and recite.
Application of duality
Duality is a rhetoric format with China style and China style, which is widely used. From ancient times to the present, there are a lot of double rhetorical devices in poetry, prose and other literary works.
First, applied to poetry:
Yesterday to lean on, Liu Yiyi;
The road is muddy and difficult to walk, and people are thirsty and hungry.
One star, two stars, countless bright Mars,
One hammer shadow, two hammer shadows, and countless fast-weighing iron shadows.
Come on, let's work together,
Let this iron fire move!
……
Second, when it is used in prose or other articles, it is mostly the duality of words or phrases, and there are also the duality of sentences, but it is rare. For example:
We stood in Orange Island and strolled along the banks of Xiangjiang River. Go back to Qingshuitang and climb Yuelu Mountain; Wandering the Bancang Trail, I am attached to Shaoshan's hometown.
Third, chapter titles used in proverbs, couplets and chapter novels. For example:
No monofilament forms a line, and no tree forms a forest. (proverb)
A big belly can hold things that are difficult to hold in the world;
I often laugh when I open my mouth and laugh at ridiculous people in the world. (couplet)
Zhuge Liang's war of words led to Confucianism.
