Dingzhen (thimble), also known as Lianzhu and Lianlian, is a rhetorical method that uses the same word or word at the end of the previous sentence and the beginning of the next sentence to modify the pronunciation of the two sentences.

Extended information:

Dingzhen couplets, according to the position and frequency of the words, can be divided into "Dingzhen" in the sentence, "Dingzhen" between the sentences and "Dingzhen" in the sentence.

1. The truth in the sentence

That is, the text is conveyed at the ending point (reading break) in the sentence. The ancients called it Lian Mian (continuous).

For example, Changsha Baisha Well Couplet:

Changde has virtue in its mountains and mountains; Changsha has sand and water without sand.

According to the rhythm of the seven-character couplet "two two three", it can be read as "Changde - Deshan - the mountain has virtue; Changsha - sand and water - the water has no sand." Virtue, mountain, sand and water are all the most true words in the sentence.

2. The truth between sentences

That is, the words are conveyed between each sentence. For example, the following stage couplet is a masterpiece among the most authentic couplets:

Looking at me is not me, looking at me, I am not me either; whoever pretends to look like the other, whoever pretends to look like the other, looks like the other.

This true couplet has a strong summary power. It only uses 22 words to describe the wonderful performance of a dramatic actor who forgets himself and becomes lifelike. The couplet is stable and exquisite. Funny and meaningful, it is a wonderful couplet.

3. Every sentence is true

That is, no matter how many sentences are broken, they can be connected to the last sentence, which can be called a "series". According to the number of fragments, it can be divided into two types: large and small.

A chain usually consists of three broken sentences, two of which are true. For example, the Tianshi Cave couplet in Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan:

One is born with two, two begets three, and three begets all things; the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature.
