1. Palindrome is one of the wonderful works of China's couplets. The couplets written in this form can be read in sequence or backwards, which not only has the same meaning, but also is quite interesting. Here are some examples:
First of all, there is a mountain called Jigong Mountain in Henan. There are two landscapes on the mountain: Jidu and Longyin Rock. Someone made a pair of insightful palindromes:
Cockfighting, pheasant fighting,
Hidden hidden dragons in rocks.
Secondly, the fish breast shop in Gulangyu Island, Xiamen, is located in the middle of the sea. The island is mountainous, smoky, with boundless sea water and a distant view of the sky. Thus, a pair of interesting palindromes came into being:
Fog locks mountains and rivers;
The sky is even with the tail water.
Third, in the Qing Dynasty, there was a restaurant in Beijing called "Natural Residence", and Emperor Qianlong once made a famous palindrome:
Guests live in nature;
It was a heavenly guest.
The first couplet means that the guests go to a "natural residence" restaurant for dinner. The bottom line is the top line read backwards, which means I didn't expect to be like a guest in the sky. Emperor Qianlong was very proud when he came up with this palindrome. That is, regard it as a couplet and ask the ministers to make a couplet. Ministers looked at each other and said nothing. Only Ji Xiaolan, a great scholar, came up with a pair of palindromes when he was in a famous big temple in JD.COM, the Great Buddha Temple:
People have passed the Great Buddha Temple;
The Buddha in the temple is bigger than others.
The first couplet means that people pass by the Great Buddha Temple. The second part is that the Buddha statues in the temple are bigger than people. Ji's bottom line is a good idea
Put this pair of palindromes on the throne of an emperor of Zhang Qian Long, and it will form a new palindrome like a mouth:
The guest lives in nature, but he is a guest in the sky;
People have been to the Big Buddha Temple, which is bigger than others.
Fourth, there is a palindrome between Zhanjiang's neighbors that reflects the friendly relations between the neighbors. It is affectionate and righteous and has been praised for a long time:
I love my neighbor, and my neighbor loves me;
Fish swim along the water.

A scholar visited Wuxi and one day came to Xishan nearby. He thought: This place is called Wuxi and that mountain is called Xishan. Is there tin or Wuxi? After understanding, the answer is no. So he thought of a couplet: "Wuxi Xishan Wuxi; This is a thimble double couplet, which is difficult. I can't think of the couplet at the bottom at the moment. Another day, he came to Pinghu and saw that the lake was about to overflow the embankment. He immediately made a couplet: "Pinghu Heng."

4. Reduplicated words, also known as reduplicated words, reduplicated words and repeated words. , refers to the overlapping use of two words or morphemes with the same syllable, indicating different tone degrees and emotional colors. Sentences cannot be broken between overlapping words. Using overlapping words as couplets can vividly express the artistic conception of couplets, with harmonious pronunciation, clear rhythm and harmonious rhythm, which has the image of expressing feelings, thus enhancing the artistic charm of couplets and obtaining specific expression effects. In the creation of couplets, reduplicated words are widely used and can be seen almost everywhere. Overlapping couplets use the same word in succession, just like a string of beads, which can produce obvious rhythmic effect in rhythm. Please look at this pair of Hangzhou nine-hole eighteen-stream couplets made by Yu Yue:
The mountains overlap and the roads are winding;
Under the tall tree, there are tinkling springs.
The four adjectives "overlapping, bending, competition and ding-dong" are specially treated by the author. The effect changes greatly, the feeling is clear and the scene is pleasant.
Overlap is mainly divided into two categories: total overlap and partial overlap. All of them are composed of overlapping words, which are mostly used for scenic spots. For example:
Ups and downs, self-knowledge, looking around.
Yingying Yanyan, with flowers and leaves, will be there sooner or later;
This is a pair of overlapping couplets in Wang Shi Garden in Suzhou, which is unique by borrowing the word "slow voice" from Li Qingzhao. The All-China Federation described the beautiful scenery of the park from both vertical and horizontal angles, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, tourists lingering, and lovers being very much in love. The sound of joint reading is sonorous, with rich and profound meanings, which adds infinite interest to tourists. Another example is:
Another example is the well-known West Lake World Pavilion Alliance:
Mountains and rivers, Xiu Xiu is everywhere;
It's always wonderful when it rains on sunny days.
Couplets are novel in conception and delicate in words. It is very natural and appropriate for this couplet to be used in this particular landscape of West Lake. The panoramic view of the West Lake makes visitors linger and indulge in the scenery. At the same time, this couplet can also be read backwards:
Xiu Xiu is clear, with mountains and rivers everywhere;
Qiqi is fine, it rains and sunny from time to time.
It can also become partially overlapping:
Mountains and rivers, clearly Xiu Xiu;
Have fun when it rains on a sunny day.
There are about ten kinds of "changes", which can be called "odd" couplets in couplets.
Among all the overlapping words, the most widely known is a couplet, which satirizes the civil war in the old society and makes people miserable. * * * There are 14 words:
South to north, both civil and military, fighting, killing and chopping from time to time, searching and scraping to see if it is clean;
Every household, men and women, old and young, lonely, scared everywhere, crying, it is really sad.
This couplet was circulated for some time before liberation. It vividly mocked the tragic scene of old China under the rule of the Kuomintang and exposed the social reality at that time.
Full-stack couplets, although with high writing skills, may be less fluent because of "consistent requirements", but some of them are more free, informal, easy to learn and commonly used. Some overlapping words can overlap in one place, such as:
Gloomy and cheerful;
Strong wind. (Guilin Wind Tunnel Mountain View Pavilion)
The clear spring at the foot of the Buddha, fluttering, floated down two jade belts;
The source is flowing water, braving a string of pearls. (Baotu Spring in Jinan)
It can also be folded in two or more places. For example:
Go in and out, talk about playing and singing;
True or false, life and death are separated. (phase correlation)
The sound of firecrackers is beaming;
Spring breeze and songs. (Spring Festival couplets)
Flowers are deep and shady, listening to songs from other homes is cool;
The moon is shallow, the wind is strong, and there are many drums in the high city, which makes you return slowly. (Guiyang Jiuhuashan Stage)
