顶真
1、（方dial）认真 be serious; be earnest
e.g. 大事小事他都很顶真。
He takes everything seriously whether it is important or trivial.
2、一种修辞方法，用前面结尾的词语或句子作下文的起头。例如李白《白云歌送刘十六归山》：'楚山秦山皆白云。白云处处长随君。长随君；君入楚山里，云亦随君渡湘水。湘水上，女罗衣，白云堪卧君早归。'
rhetorical device calling for a sentence to begin with the last word or phrase of the previous one, e.g. the poem A Song of White Clouds —— Farewell to Liu Shiliu Who Is Returning to the Mountains by Li Bai: 'Mountains in Hubei and Shaanxi are mantled in white clouds. White clouds go with you everywhere. Everywhere they go with you; You enter into mountains in Hubei, and with you the clouds cross the Xiang River. Over the River of Xiang, where the hermit lives. The white cloud is waiting for you.'
