In ancient palaces, guards fought against the moon (etiquette), and the etiquette was relative, so parallel couples were also called antithesis. Even sentences are mainly used to form upper and lower couplets with the same number of words, and the words of the upper and lower couplets are relatively flat. Articles written in this form of four or six sentences were called "four or six" in the late Tang Dynasty, followed in the Song and Ming Dynasties, and renamed as parallel prose in the Qing Dynasty. Meng Tong was trained by compound sentence, which laid the foundation for writing and poetry.
Parallel prose is mainly composed of two sentences, paying attention to dual temperament. Many sentences are in four words and six languages, so it is also called four words and six languages. Liu Siwen is often used to write chapters and sentences and memorials. "Fifty Poems of Julian" written by Lu Ji, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, has four or six short parallel poems in each capital, which is the origin of the earlier four or six parallel short chapters that can be seen today. Since then, four or six parallel sentences have been widely used in parallel prose in the Southern Dynasties.
Origin: Parallel Prose is a style, which originated in the late Han Dynasty, formed and prevailed in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. It appears alternately with four characters and six characters, and is called "Liu Siwen" in the world.
In the Tang Dynasty, scholars were selected by poems, and their fu was a law fu derived from parallel prose. The official documents of the Tang Dynasty are also parallel prose, that is, four or six styles. Parallel prose often affects the content expression by accommodating sentence patterns and piling up rhetoric. After Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan advocated the ancient prose movement, parallel prose suffered setbacks for the first time. After the death of Han and Liu, their influence rose again. Li Shangyin, Wen and Duan are among them, ranking 16th, so they are called "Thirty-six Style".
After entering the Song Dynasty, under the leadership of Ouyang Xiu and others, the ancient prose movement reached its second climax, with numerous essays and parallel prose gradually declining.
