Parallelism is a rhetorical method of arranging words or sentences with the same structure, similar structure, closely related meaning and consistent tone into strings. By juxtaposing phrases (subject, predicate, verb, object) or sentences with the same meaning or similar structure and tone (three or more sentences), and juxtaposing paragraphs (just two paragraphs), we can achieve an effect of strengthening the language situation.

The rhetorical function of parallelism can be summarized as "increasing literary potential" and "broadening literary significance" with overlapping parallelism items, consistent tone and strong sense of rhythm. Each parallelism item has the same meaning category, has the nature of enumeration and reinforcement, and can expand and deepen the meaning of the text.

In terms of parallelism, you can get a coherent effect; Parallelism and lyricism, harmonious rhythm and full of emotion; Using parallelism to describe the scenery can make the level clear, the description delicate and the image vivid ... (This sentence is also a parallelism sentence) In short, parallelism is rhythmic, catchy and persuasive, which can enhance the expression effect and momentum of the article and deepen the center.

The specific application is as follows:

(1) Write people in parallel, and the description of the characters can be detailed. Such as: "His quality is so pure and noble, his will is so tough and strong, his temperament is so simple and humble, and his mind is so beautiful and broad."

(2) Writing scenery with parallelism can describe the scenery in detail, which can be clear, detailed and vivid. For example, in Zhu Ziqing's "Spring", "The mountain is moist, the water rises, and the sun is red." Look at Guo Feng's article "Winter in Songfangxi". "Snow is like catkins, snow is like reeds, and snow is like dandelion fluff seeds, dancing in the wind." These two sentences well represent the subtle features of the landscape.

(3) Reasoning by parallelism can fully and thoroughly explain the truth. For example, "our cadres should care about every soldier, and everyone in the revolutionary ranks should care about each other, love each other and help each other." ("Serving the People") "Swallows have gone, and there is a time to come again; Willow withered, there is a time to green again; Peach blossoms fade and bloom again ... "(Zhu Ziqing's Rush)" A day's plan lies in the morning, a year's plan lies in the spring, and a lifetime's plan lies in diligence. " (proverb)

(D) the use of parallelism and lyricism, harmonious rhythm, appears full of emotion. Look at the ending paragraph of Liu Chuan's The Story of Me and the Book: "There are too many stories about me and the book. I am happy for the book, sad for the book, and punished for the book ... "It not only summarizes the full text, but also expresses my indissoluble bond with the book.
