"Harmony" is a traditional cultural thought of Han nationality since ancient times, which makes people pay attention to phonological harmony, euphemism and implication in language use. If you want to express something, don't say it directly, but use other language means to achieve "what you say here is what you want to say." Homophony in language reflects this cultural phenomenon. Homophony is the use of homonyms or near homonyms to replace words, so that sentences express double meanings, also known as puns.
