Abstract: Strictly speaking, in the academic field, there lacks clear understanding of the nature of rhythmic and ornate style of prose. From the evolution and the relevant discussion and collections of essays, we would rather say that such rhythmic and ornate prose is a kind of special diction instead of a literary style. It is just the former that has existed in the articles of various genres like Fu (ornate essay) and Ling (lyrics) in which there is rhythm and ornateness. And the persons who are good at using such style are called parallel prose writers and the articles with the dense color of parallelism are called parallel essays.
