What's the difference between parallelism and bi cheng?

Parallelism is a rhetorical device, which uses phrases (subject-predicate/verb-object) or sentences with similar meanings, the same structure and the same tone side by side to achieve an effect of strengthening the language situation. Rhetorical method of arranging words or sentences with the same or similar structure, closely related meanings and consistent tone into strings.

Bixing is a common skill in ancient poetry. In this regard, Zhu had a more accurate explanation in Song Dynasty. He thinks: "If you compare, compare this thing with another thing", and "If you are interested, say something else first to arouse the words you sing." Generally speaking, "bi" is a metaphor, a metaphor that visualizes people or things, making its characteristics more distinct and prominent. "Xing" is rising, that is, taking other things as the starting point of poetry and arousing the content to be praised. "Bi" and "Xing" are commonly used.
